Each wheel independently sprungThis picture tclls you two important things about theTriumph Vitesse. First, it shows you what a superblyengineercd piece of tnachinery it is. This is what youwould expect from a product of the Leyland MotorCorporation. There's no fi nercertifi cate of roadworthiness.

Next the picturc sltows you how each rear wheel on

lf-

the Vitesse has its own springing. This means that eachwheel absorbs the shocks and stresses of the road withoutsetting up similar stresses in its partner the other side ofthe car, No rock on bad roads. No roll on tight comers.Sporting note : Vitesse road-holding a1lows you to makethe most of its love for a sprint!
