Triumph TR-X is the name given to a series of prototype concept cars built by the Triumph Motor Company. First shown in 1950, it was the first Triumph automobile to be called a "TR", but was a much more luxurious car than the roadsters that followed. It also incorporated a number of powered accessories and features. The TR-X did not reach production.
