Jay Leno, famed late-night talk show host, comedian, and car enthusiast, recently took a ride in a Deronda Type G, a street-legal racecar. The Deronda G is a track day car weighing 1900 pounds, and featuring a GM 7.0-liter LS7 engine, and is capable of 505 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque.
Leno made a surprise phone call to Trenton Forging and Deronda USA president, David Moxlow, to ask about the car. After talking shop for a bit, Moxlow arranged to have his foreman, Chris Trapp, take the Deronda from Michigan to Leno’s “Big Dog Garage” in Burbank, California for a test drive.
According to Trapp (and Leno’s thumbs-up in the photo above), the star enjoyed the Deronda Type G.
Hey, Moxlow, when’s our test drive? We’ll come to you.
