The engine is the hemispherical head V8 designed by Edward Turner and first used in the Daimler SP250 (Dart) sports car.
It had a fibreglass body, four-wheel Girling disc brakes, and a 2.5-litre Hemi-head V8 engine designed by Edward Turner.
It was designed by Triumph engineer Edward Turner to give Triumph's existing rigid frames the option of rear suspension.

Following Jack Sangster's purchase of Triumph in 1936 he moved there under Edward Turner and help to develop the design for the Triumph Speed Twin which influenced many motorcycles of the time and since.
Derived from Edward Turner's original twin cylinder design and a development of the Triumph Tiger, the 'Daytona' sacrificed low-speed tractability for a pronounced power step at 3,500 rpm that helped it to compete with the advanced designs from Japanese manufacturers like Honda.
