Now, Autosport President David Moxlow has announced plans to build a limited number of Derondas in Southeastern Michigan and will preview the latest version of the car this week in a display at Sebring.
The topless, two-place open-wheeler looks fairly primitive but will fetch $70,000 in American trim. Engineered in Britain from mostly off-the-shelf components, the Deronda features a tubular steel chassis and a double-wishbone suspension.
The engine is derived from Audi's turbocharged 1.8-liter four-cylinder, modified by Cosworth to develop 250 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque. It is mated to a Porsche five-speed manual gearbox. With mass at a relatively low 1,600 pounds, the car sprints from zero to 60 mph in less than 4 seconds.
Moxlow said the Deronda will be distributed in the U.S. through Sirius Motorsports. Production is slated to begin in May.
