The Triumph Vitesse is a compact six-cylinder car built by Standard-Triumph from 1962 to 1971. The car was styled by Giovanni Michelotti, and was available in saloon and convertible variants.[2]

The Vitesse name was first used by Austin in the 1914 to 1916 Austin 20 (hp) and 30 (hp) Vitesse models. This was followed in 1922 by G. N.(Godfrey & Nash) on their GN Vitesse Cycle-car, and then by Triumph on a car made from 1935-1938.

After the last Triumph Vitesse was made in 1971, the Vitesse name remained unused until 1982. In 1982, Rover began to use the name on their SD1 until 1986. They also used it from 1984-1990 on the SD3 216, and on the Rover 800 from October 1988 - 1991, at which time it was rebodied as the R17 version. The R17 was produced until 1998 as the Rover Vitesse Sport.
