The 2,000 mile per tank 200mph sports car
Posted by keelynet on August 28, 2008
Wow, that is quite a claim. Hmmm…a tank of gas is roughly 20 gallons so thats like 100 miles per gallon using diesel?
“This sleek machine is being hailed as the future of high-performance, eco-friendly motoring. With an engine that runs on pure biodiesel, the Trident Iceni can do 2,000 miles on one tank of fuel – enough for a return trip to Venice from London. Capable of topping 200mph, the car has been designed and manufactured by Phil Bevan, of Norwich-based firm Trident Performance Vehicles. Just 500 go on sale from next year, priced at £75,000, after the firm spent £2.3million in development. It uses a technology called ‘torque multiplication’ which helps keeps the revs low and thus uses less fuel and gives out less emissions. The chassis is made from stainless steel which won’t corrode and the body is built of composite which will never rust or degrade.” – Source

That sounds too good to be true….and if it is true, why only 500 cars? Surely something that’s eco-friendly without affecting performance (200 mph is pretty good!)should have no problems selling at GBP 75000? In fact, a larger output may even mean a lower price.
So what’s the catch?
Nice blog, btw.
