Today, Maserati announced it would debut the new Maserati GranTurismo MC during the FIA GT Media Days at the Paul Ricard circuit in France. The GranTurismo MC is based on the Maserati GranTurismo S, and the Concept debuted last September at Monza in Italy, and appeared at the Paris Motor Show. It features a 4.5-liter V-8 engine, of which the output has not yet been disclosed.

Maserati will sell a limited series of the GranTurismo MC, beginning in October, for drivers who wish to race in the 2010 GT4 European Cup and the national series. The price should be around 135,000 Euros, the current equivalent of almost $181,000 U.S.

Aston Martin announced yesterday the debut of its factory entry in the Le Mans Series. The Aston Martin LMP1 car, pictured above, will make its entrance in Barcelona in the 1000 kilometers of Catalunya.

The new car has been tested very little, so the beginning of the Le Mans Series will be the team’s chance to truly test the LMP1 in preparation for the 24 Hours of Le Mans in June.

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.
