8-speed automatic!

Trident - The new Trident Iceni

Another turbodiesel of course, and probably costs a tad more than the Ford Fiesta...

 

seems like a pretty cool car, but to me the looks just dont cut it

 

F**k the looks, anything that goes 230 mph, gets 68 mpg at 70 mph, and can go 2000 miles on a tank of gas gets my utmost respect.

 

mhmm, it isn't like you have to keep the body either so whatevs. If the tech were mass produced/companies used whatever extra engineering was done over GM's then high five for them and they'd use a different more umm consumer friendly body styling.

 

where did they source a 8 speed auto transaxle? and as much as we know that diesels can get very high gas mileage. i doubt that this car could get 68 mpg.

 

6.6L diesel and 8 gears -- wag, they are probably doing something crazy like 70mph @ 700 rpms if they really did measure that mpg...
