Triumph Vitesse Estate

The Triumph Vitesse Estate designed by Michelotti.

Vehicle Overview

The Triumph Vitesse Estate, designed by the renowned Italian stylist Giovanni Michelotti, stands as a rare and unique example of Triumph’s ability to blend practicality with performance and elegant design. Michelotti, who had already established his reputation through his work on the Triumph Herald and the Vitesse saloon, played a crucial role in shaping the distinctive aesthetics of the estate. His ability to craft a cohesive and stylish vehicle, even within the constraints of reusing existing body components, is a testament to his design genius. The estate version retained the sporty, slanted four-headlamp front end that Michelotti had created for the Vitesse, giving the car a premium and dynamic appearance. The rear bodywork, borrowed from the Triumph Herald estate, was seamlessly integrated into the design, resulting in a compact and stylish three-door wagon that combined the best features of both models. The estate’s clean lines and balanced proportions highlighted Michelotti’s skill in making practical vehicles look attractive and purposeful. Inside, the cabin was functional yet elegant, showcasing the same thoughtful layout and design elements found in the saloon. Michelotti’s influence extended to the interior details, ensuring a consistent look across the Vitesse range. The estate offered ample cargo space while maintaining a level of refinement and comfort befitting a car with sporting aspirations. The Michelotti-designed Triumph Vitesse 3-Door Estate is a rare gem, produced in limited numbers on a bespoke basis. Its unique blend of Italian design flair, British engineering, and practical versatility has made it a coveted classic among enthusiasts. Today, the estate stands as a tribute to Michelotti’s unparalleled ability to elevate everyday vehicles into something truly special.
