Triumph Spitfire Vs GT6 - which one is the best buy? Though the slower of the two types, the Spitfire probably has the edge in styling and the fact that it's a convertible more than makes up for its lack of pace. However, if pace is what you are looking for, the GT6 Mk2 and Mk3 are the fastest cars. Check the tables below, for comparative performance figures on acceleration, overtaking and maximum speed.
