From 1975 to 1981, the Triumph TR7 was produced. Compared to the Triumph TR6, which it replaced, it grew in length and width. The design came from Harris Mann, who created the so-called “wedge shape”. During its development, it was codenamed “Bullet”, a name that was quite appropriate due to its shape and features. The name “The Wedge” is still cherished today, as it was then, by TR7 enthusiasts.
The 1998 cc four-cylinder engine was gently placed in the front and delivered 105 horsepower to the rear wheels. The version for the United States was slightly redesigned to comply with emissions and government regulations and produced 92 horsepower. The four-speed manual transmission was standard, and a five-speed transmission was offered as an option. A three-speed automatic trans-mission was also available beginning in 1976. The independent suspension consisted of coil springs, shock struts, a stabilizer bar and a lower single-link on the front axle. At the rear, there was a four-link system with coil springs and stabilizers. Braking power was provided by disc brakes at the front and drums at the rear. Production ran until 1981 and included 112,368 examples. The TR7 was replaced by the TR8. 2,722 examples of the TR7 were produced, while the TR8 was already in production.
