Trident Iceni - 70 mpg @ 70 mph and 375 hp

A coworker sent me this link. Very impressive specs. Not a bad looking car either.

Quote:
Price - around £60,000 ($78,500 US)
Engine - 6.6 liter diesel V8
Weight - 2690 lbs
Aspiration - turbocharged
Torque - 520 lb-ft @ 1800 rpm
HP - 375 hp @ 3100 rpm
1/4 mile - 12 seconds
0-60 mph - 3.9 seconds
Top Speed - 170 mph (electronically limited)

*68.9mph at a constant 70mph was the first recorded test at Millbrook Proving Ground. The figure naturally improve at lower speeds – at 30mph, Trident's initial tests returned 108mpg.

...The Iceni is a traditional grand tourer. With a full tank of diesel, you can expect to travel around 2000 miles without needing to fill up.

...at 70mph, the Iceni is running at 980 rpm whereas the average car runs at between 2500 and 3500 rpm at 70mph.
