on one end, diesel-powered motors have been traditionally associated with commercial vehicles and on the other, it is portrayed as mild-manner family rides. however, the British’s Trident Iceni changed all that and did so with quite a bang, actually. today, two new models join the Iceni range, namely Iceni Magna, which is a fastback variant and Iceni Venturer, a station wagon model which is essentially a shooting brake model. the new models share the same hard specs as the Iceni Sports Car, but each with its own distinctive design. powered by a 6.6-liter turbo diesel V8 engine that spits out 395 horses and a mind-bending 700 lb-ft (948 Nm) of torque (well, it is diesel, after all, isn’t it so?), mated to a six-speed automatic gearbox, the Iceni range of diesel-powered sports car is capable of zipping from standstill to sixty miles-per-hour in mere 3.7 seconds, sending it to a top speed of 190+ mph – thus, making it the fastest diesel sports car on planet earth and also one that has 2,000 mile-per-tank of range.
and did we mention it can run off bio-diesel too? seriously, diesel has never smell this good. topping off the performance is the lauded cargo space: it boosts a trunk volume that can accommodate at least two suitcases. whoever says a sports car can’t make a long road trip? the cars boast over thirty-nine bespoke, designed and manufactured components and are totally customizable to individual’s needs and wants. the Trident Iceni Magna and Iceni Venturer, along with the original Iceni, are available for your taking as long as you have £96,000 or more to drop. folks outside of the U.K. can reach out to Trident to find out how your currency can be used to exchange for one of these sexy diesel beasts.
