The Triumph Vitesse, produced between 1962 and 1971, was a sporty saloon car designed and manufactured by the British motor company Triumph Motor Company. It was built upon the robust backbone of the Triumph Herald, inheriting its unibody construction and underpinnings. However, the Vitesse was distinguished by its powerful engine, borrowed from the Triumph Spitfire, a 1.6-liter four-cylinder unit capable of generating a respectable 88 horsepower. This engine gave the Vitesse a spirited performance, capable of reaching speeds of over 100 miles per hour. Although the Vitesse was initially offered as a two-door saloon, a four-door version was introduced in 1965, offering greater practicality. The Vitesse embodied a combination of sportiness and practicality, appealing to drivers who desired a more powerful and engaging driving experience without sacrificing everyday usability.

The Vitesse, while not as widely known as some of its more famous Triumph siblings like the TR series sports cars, carved a niche for itself as a stylish and affordable sporting saloon. Its distinctive design, incorporating the characteristic Triumph grille and flowing lines, gave it a sporty appeal. The interior featured a spacious and comfortable cabin with a focus on driver usability. However, despite its merits, the Vitesse faced stiff competition from other British and European saloon cars during its production run. The rise of more modern and sophisticated competitors, coupled with Triumph's financial struggles, ultimately led to the discontinuation of the Vitesse in 1971. While its production lifespan was relatively short, the Triumph Vitesse remains a testament to the brand's ability to create stylish and engaging cars that offered a blend of performance and practicality.
