"Little Of Makkina’s Highly Confidential Work Reaches The Public, So in 2023, 100 Years Since The Triumph Name First Appeared On A Production Car And 70 Years After Its Record Was Secured, Makkina Unveiled Their Triumph Tr25 Show Car, A Testament To The High Calibre Of Creativity And Craftsmanship That Make Us Who We Are.
A Celebration Of The Great British Roadster, Paying Particular Homage To The Record-Breaking ‘Jabbeke’ Triumph Tr2, Mvc575, Which Broke The Land Speed Record For Production Cars Under Two Litres In 1953, Makkina Has Reimagined The Legendary Vehicle As A Contemporary Piece Of Cutting-Edge Automotive Design."
Makkina Honours A Legend
London-based automotive design firm Makkina has revealed the Triumph TR25 concept vehicle in honour of the company's silver anniversary. Almost seven decades ago, the iconic Triumph Motor Company set the land speed record for automobiles with engines of less than 2.0 litres. This amazing concept vehicle is a wonderful monument to that achievement.
Based on the company's record-breaking TR2 MVC575, the Triumph TR25 concept car has a revised body that stays true to the brand's roots while also looking forward. Those who yearn for the days of daring solo speed pursuits need not miss out; the single-seater is now offered with the extra convenience of a flip-out seat for a passenger.
When it comes to design, even the tiniest of details, Makkina shines. The LED headlights on the Triumph TR25 are a throwback to the original model while also bridging the seven-decade technology divide.
A touch of rough retro cool permeates the whole item thanks to the mouth-shaped air intake, which is evocative of British design from the 1950s.
Together, Makkina and BMW made the Triumph TR25 a reality, fusing the best of the past with the cutting edge of the present. BMW (the current owner of the Triumph brand) made an everlasting mark on the automotive industry with its innovative electric vehicles.
The Triumph TR25, based on the popular and environmentally friendly BMW i3S, updates the brand's traditional styling for the present day.
The current trend towards environmentally friendly transportation is reflected in the Triumph TR25, which is an all-electric powerhouse. The eco-friendliness of the concept vehicle is only the tip of the iceberg; it also has a low centre of gravity and ideal weight distribution of 50:50, much like the i3S.
The TR25 benefits from these upgrades in terms of stability and performance in the electric age without giving up any of the fun-to-drive characteristics for which the TR brand is known.
Makkina's Triumph TR25 concept therefore encapsulates the spirit of not one but two significant landmarks: the company's own 25-year journey of extraordinary automotive designs and the incredible speed record accomplished by Triumph Motor Company seven decades ago.
This car shows how historical context may help shape the design of vehicles that are both more sustainable and technologically advanced. To symbolise Makkina's dedication to innovation, legacy, and advancement as it approaches its next quarter century, there is no better symbol than the Triumph TR25.
