A biodiesel-powered supercar with an all-stainless steel chassis, composite bodywork and beautiful curves? Are we in heaven? Nope, just the UK. We've seen this car (http://www.autobloggreen.com/2007/04/13/iceni-sports-cars-plans-to-go-1000-miles-on-one-tank-of-biodiese/) before, but Trident Performance Vehicles has upped the ante on eco-friendly supercars with its latest Iceni. Now powered by a Duramax turbo diesel engine with 550 horsepower at 3800 rpm and a gut-wrenching 950 ft-lbs. of torque at just 1800 rpm, the Iceni is reportedly capable of achieving well over 200 miles per hour. No need to go that fast? That's alright, the Iceni is quite the quarter mile king too, launching itself to sixty in just 3.7 seconds and surely tripping the lights at an equally astronomical figure. Fuel mileage is about 57 miles per gallon U.S.
Trident says that any blend of biodiesel is just fine with them and will not void your warranty. Of course, that would assume that you could actually purchase one of these fine specimens, which is currently not the case as the company is currently hoping for some additional funding. If they do make it to market, expect a £75,000 hit to your wallet (that's roughly US$140,000).
