New sports car company opens headquarters in Pompano

South Florida Business Journal - by Paul Brinkmann

If you see a unique sports car hitting 60 mph on a hairpin turn in Pompano Beach, it may be someone test-driving a Rossion Q1.

Two South African entrepreneurs have opened the first and only dealership of Rossion Automotive in the former Avex Home Theater warehouse in Pompano. Rossion has been touted in the industry as one of the world’s most exciting new car companies. Reviews by some auto magazines already dubbed the Rossion Q1 an “excellent supercar” (Auto Aficionado) or “a sultry beauty” (Luxury Auto Direct).

The car has noble lineage, literally. Owners Ian Grunes and Dean Rosen bought the rights to the previous Noble M400, a British supercar, after Noble announced plans to develop a new model. At a retail price of $100,000, the car is being positioned to compete as an American alternative to Ferrari and Lotus.

“We want to brand this as an American car, and we wanted to be from South Florida,” Grunes said. “The goal is to slowly take this into the global market and turn it into a recognizable brand.”

That's Ian on the right but I don't think that's Dean on the left. Dean is smaller than that.

I talked to Dean yesterday and the Road and Track article on the Rossion will be in the October issue, out early September. If you see a yellow Q1 in it, it's mine.
