Imagine a diesel car that can go up to a speed of 305km/hr and also has such an efficient engine that it will have a range of 3200 kilometres. This is the new sports car from Trident brand and it is called as the Iceni. The Iceni is the world’s fastest and efficient diesel car.

The British car maker Trident has now announced the global availability of their new product Iceni. This Iceni achieves these figures in performance and fuel efficiency as it gets a major mechanical advantage through torque multiplication and this makes it extremely fuel efficient and at the same time there is no compromise on power and speed.

Phil Bevan, designer & founder of Trident said, “The Trident cars deliver incredible speed & performance combined with outstanding fuel efficiency, achieved through our unique torque multiplication technology.”

The current belief states that horsepower delivers power, speed & fuel efficiency, this is our book knowledge about cars. However, Trident states that it is torque that matters. And that is when they have gone about to use this technology in a road car. This has increased the fuel efficiency by up to 20%, which is indeed a good way to make the engine more fuel-efficient and at the same time there has been no compromise on the performance factor too. Now, the British car maker has patented a unique way of utilizing torque multiplication that will help to improve performance and efficient. The company has incorporated this new technology in all its cars. Every Iceni can be built to specific customer spec, ensuring a truly unique driving experience.

Daniel Monaghan, co-founder of Trident said, “We have worked extremely hard to reach this point & the whole Trident team is thrilled to be bringing the world’s most fuel-efficient diesel sports cars to market.”

The British designed Trident sports cars boast a distinctive look, with clean curves and the unusual sculpted rear. The cars also incorporate over thirty-nine bespoke, designed & manufactured components, including independent control of each car seat and oculight roof.  The three Iceni sports cars are available to buy globally with prices starting from Rs 96 lakhs (without duty). With limited availability and a pre-launch waiting list, the three models are already in high demand across the globe, as this is a complete package of performance with an extremely frugal oil burner.
