The Triumph Vitesse was a two-door sedan (with both a convertible variant as well as a rare three-door estate wagon) based on the earlier Triumph Herald sedan. Both models were designed by Michelotti, but the Vitesse was a more sporting model fitted with Triumph's inline-six powerplants compared to the four-cylinder models found in the Herald. The Vitesse is visually distinct with the quad headlamps arranged in a slanted configuration. Production of the Triumph Vitesse lasted from 1962 to 1971.
