1976–1980 Triumph Dolomite Sprint Specs & Performance

The Triumph Dolomite Sprint holds a distinctive place in British motoring history, bringing sophisticated engine engineering and sporting performance to a practical four-door saloon. Its restrained exterior conceals a character that helped make it one of the more interesting performance-oriented family cars of its era. The compact body, traditional rear-wheel-drive layout, and relatively lightweight construction give it an engaging character, while the five-seat cabin preserves the everyday usability expected of a family sedan. Rather than being an uncompromising sports car, the Sprint combines classic British saloon practicality with a more spirited driving experience.

For the 1976–1980 model range, the Dolomite Sprint uses a naturally aspirated 2.0-litre inline-four producing 127 hp at 5,700 rpm and 122 lb-ft of torque at 4,500 rpm. AutoSpecsHub lists both a four-speed manual and a three-speed automatic transmission, driving the rear wheels. Its recorded top speed is 116 mph, with a 0–60 mph time of 8.9 seconds. The car has a listed curb weight of 2,304 lbs, combined fuel economy of 20 mpg, and luggage capacity of 13.5 cubic feet.
