The "Type G" Newsletter

Issue Number: 001

WHAT'S NEW
It has been awhile since we've released new information on the development of the Deronda sports car. The last twelve months at the Trenton factory have been busy! We are happy to announce that the US version,the Deronda "Type G" is now in production. There have been some significant updates to the car which have enhanced quality, performance and safety. The first three cars are in production and orders are currently being taken for the next 15 cars.

WHAT IS A "Type G" YOU ASK?
The "Type G" is the V8 powered version of the Deronda sports car.
The engine of choice for the Deronda "Type G" will be the GM
LS2 V8 crate engine as standard. Horsepower and torque are rated at
405/405 respectively. The LS2 can be mated to a Porsche G50 transaxle.
Optional upgrades will include the GM LS7 crate engine. With the
"Type G" weighing in at 1700 lbs I guess you could say that the "G" in
"Type G" stands for GO!

Chassis # 001 with LS7
