Britain's Trident is preparing the official debut of its new Iceni Grand Tourer at the upcoming Salon Prive in West London. The British roadster combines a sleek and sexy look with some serious power. The Iceni Grand Tourer is diesel, but it's not like most diesel cars. Trident's roadster can run on mineral diesel, bio diesel, palm oil and linseed oil. It's rated at 68.9 mpg and can go up to 200 miles on a full tank.
The Iceni Grand Tourer's mid-front mounted 6.6-liter diesel engine is turbo charged and creates 430hp and an incredible 950 lb-ft of torque at under 3,250rpm. These numbers are good for a 0 to 60 time of 3.7 seconds and a top speed of 200 mph. An upgraded Iceni capable of producing 660hp and 1,050 lb-ft of torque will also be available. All of this power and beauty comes at a price, $119,122 to be exact.
