The Triumph TR7 was produced from 1975 through 1981. In comparison to the Triumph TR6, the vehicle it replaced, it grew in length and width. The design was courtesy of Harris Mann who created what has been termed 'wedge shape.' It had been given the codename 'Bullet' while it was being designed, a name that was rather fitting due to its shape and characteristics.
The 1998cc four-cylinder engine gently placed in the front and provided 105 horsepower to the rear wheels. The United States version was slightly detuned to comply with emission and government regulations, resulting in 92 horsepower. The four-speed manual gearbox was standard with a five-speed unit offered as optional equipment. In 1976 a three-speed automatic transmission was made available. The independent suspension was comprised of coil springs, damper struts, anti-roll bar, and lower single link at the front. In the rear was a four-link system with coil springs and anti-roll bars. Stopping power was provided by the front disc brakes and rear drums.
Production continued until 1981 with 112,368 examples created. The TR7 was replaced by the TR8. There were 2,722 examples of the TR7 created the same time the TR8 had been in production.
The two-seater TR7 had continued the TR series of small and economical sports cars.
