from the front and side it has a ver TVR look if you ask me. I don't love it, but if I were in a position to afford an exotic sports car, I would consider it. The problem with the price tag on it, is the rich folk who usually buy a Lamborghini or Ferrari don't care about gas mileage. SOME of the very few exotic/sports car loving people who have that money would love that car, or even get one just as a novelty thing, but as a whole, they will take 8mpg if it comes with a bull or stallion on the hood.

The Iceni is expected to cost around £75,000 (approximately $139,518) when it enters production, however due to a lack of investment it could still be several years away. Trident plans to offer a two-year manufacturer warranty with one-year or 100,000 mile service intervals.
Well, though you don't want to know, it was posted in there.
As for the car... the looks are meh... but the performance.... HOLY CRAP

3 Words: Not worth it.
If Tesla Roadster ever hits production... this will be an interesting try.
Looks like it's been given a hard kick in the butt.

needs better styling in the front and a much lower price tag.
y is $139K a bad price tag? people dont bitch over a porche or other high end car with these price tags. The cars got 550hp and almost 1000tq and get 70+ mpg. yes its expensive but id say worth every penny. (aslong as its reliable and quality).
Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini...
They've been around forever.
They're the top dogs because they're still in racing, they're still competitive, and the cars they sell are not all that much different than the ones they race. These cars.. while I applaud the fact that they're trying to make a new and fast diesel driven car.... The company isn't yet racing them, nor have they been really tested with time.
If they make it 5/10 years: then they'll be worth buying.

Sorry Gam, but I finally get to say you are wrong on something
yay me!!! lol.
Porsche and Ferrari, yes. They have more than made a name for themselves in racing and production sales. However, to say Lamborghini is going to be around forever, for the same reason(racing) is absolutely false. Lamborghini is huge and will thrive because they have put forth a lot of effort in the supercar/sports car PRODUCTION. They are looked down on by Ferrari in such a big way simply because of the fact that they DO NOT race. They have no intention of being involved in any major racing liek Ferrari. Ferrari started out with their racing heritige and then moved on to producing cars to meet certain production standards set by some racing divisions, so they can still compete. Lamborghini is the exact oposite. They are a production car company, period; where as Ferrari is a racing car company that produces street cars. Complete opposite, and like I said, the soul reason that the guys at Ferrari laugh at, hate, and look down on the guys at Lamborghini.

LOL you do realize the Lamborghini started with using heavy-duty farm tractors right? Not to far off to this car with a HD truck engine, the only differece the Duramax is proven and reliable.

yeah i knew that, but i was simply correcting GAM in the sense that their car sales to racing story is the exact opposite of Ferrari's, GAM was implying they were both going to be around long because they had the same ideas behind their cars and such.

I'm also along your lines JL, Lamborghini was thrown into the pot like if the company started in the race track, when in fact it started in the farm fields.

Seems to me... Audi owns Lamborghini... And, I do believe that both Audi still races or did race at one point.
Okay, seriously you're right, Lamborghini hasn't been one for vehicle racing, but they did build the Lm002 as a racing SUV. Ferrari is a bit of an oddity, I mean... their buyers are the ultimate fan-boys: They will never approach the capabilities of Ferrari's race cars (really any of them) yet they buy the fodder that Ferrari puts out as the closest thing to the racing legend.. and yet the whole point of selling those cars for Ferrari is to earn just enough money to continue racing.
It almost has a Viper'ish front and the way the windshield sweeps back and the rear is more like a TVR
