london, 29th april 2014; trident, the british sports car brand, today announced the global availability of its flagship iceni sports car, the world’s fastest & most fuel efficient diesel sports car.

with a top speed in excess of over 190mph and the ability to run for 2000 miles on a single tank of mineral or bio-diesel, the iceni uses torque multiplication technology to achieve this unique combination of speed, power & fuel efficiency.

two new models to the iceni range are also unveiled today, the iceni magna (fastback) & iceni venturer (estate). all three models boast the same impressive spec, each with its own distinctive design. in addition, the cars can store a minimum of two suitcases, as well as two holdalls, making a 2000-mile road trip a reality.

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.”
