New British firm Trident has unveiled three new supercars promising an incredible combination of performance and economy.
The Iceni GT comes in coupe form, as well as the Iceni Magna fastback and the Iceni Venturer estate, all of which are powered by a vast 6.6-litre V8 diesel engine delivering 395bhp and 700lb/ft of torque. Trident says this is enough to power the Iceni from 0-62mph in 3.7 seconds and to a top speed of over 190mph. The engine can also be upgraded still further to a maximum of 660bhp and 1,050lb/ft of torque.
Even more remarkably Trident claim that the Iceni GT can travel up to 2,000 miles on a single tank of fuel, and that the strength of the diesel engine means it can run on conventional fuel as well as used cooking oil, virgin rapeseed, linseed, palm, soya bean oil, kerosene and paraffin. With a claimed combined fuel consumption of around 70mpg, it would mean the Iceni needs a 127-litre fuel tank to travel the distance.
The Iceni GT starts at £96,000, with features like the track pack costing £30,000 and carbon ceramic brakes at £15,000.
