British automaker Triumph had not produced a single car since 1984, but a design company called Makkina decided to remind us of the brand with a one-off concept car named TR25. BMW, which currently holds the rights to the Triumph badge, helped along with the project.
The TR25 celebrates multiple things at once: 25 years of Makkina, 100 years since the first car produced by Triumph Motor Company, and 70 years since a racing prototype named TR2 MCV575 set a world acceleration record.
Back in 1953, the car was the first in history to reach 200.9 km/h (124.8 mph).
The car revealed this week resembles the record-breaking track weapon by its body shape, interior layout and headlight styling. An original display on the dashboard only displays the current speed and the battery charge – nothing else.
Speaking of which, the modern take on the TR25 is an electric car that gets 184 PS (181 hp / 135 kW) from a single motor. The company claims it can reach 100 km/h (62 mph) in 5.2 seconds.
