Influential Triumph Sports Car Models: A Guide
- Triumph experienced a creative boom during the 1960s with models such as the TR5. When paired with classic colors such as cherry red, this gorgeous sports car could hit 125 mph due to a 2.5-liter-injected power plant for an extra kick.
- TR6 Triumph models are special due to their muscle aesthetic achieved while still staying true toward British elegance. With sales reaching almost 95,000 during the TR6’s eight-year run, it’s fair to say the TR6 was a success for Triumph.
- What makes the Triumph TR8 exciting is its smooth front end that resembles a Corvette while creating its unique sporty look. The TR8 was designed primarily for Americans. Due to a late start on the Market during the 1980s, the TR8 met limited success, with no more than 2,500 cars built. Even though limited models were made, this 3.5-fuel-liter V8 engine should not be overlooked.
- Triumph Spitfire IV’s are a sight to behold. An aerodynamic front and square-cut back styling make the Spitfire IV a dramatically different looking Triumph that made an impressive mark on design. The swing-rear suspension was added to the Spitfire IV, which created better handling to compliment the 100 mph engine.
