It was however much less expensive to buy, a lot cheaper to run, and it was enormous fun. The Triumph Spitfire sports car however had a diminutive four cylinder engine, no machine guns, and only spat fire if the engine was so out of tune that it caused a backfire in the exhaust. The original Supermarine Spitfire fighter aircraft was powered by a huge supercharged Rolls-Royce V12 engine and was fitted with up to eight machine guns so that it truly did spit fire from engine exhausts and guns. The paradoxical thing about the Triumph Spitfire is that it didn’t spit fire.
