Djet V S 1966 for sale

MATRA Djet 1966 LE FEU AUX POUDRES : DE LA GT A LA FORMULE 1 Some of the younger ones may not know this brand; let us remember that Matra Sport, in just a few years, won no less than the F1 World Championship, three times the 24 Hours of Le Mans and three times the Tour de France Automobile… The atmospheric V12 racing engine created by Matra (before the turbo era) produced a sound that marked all those who were lucky enough to hear it. But it all started with the first "Djet" with a 4-cylinder Gordini engine that took the start of the 24 H of Le Mans 1962… The Matra Djet V S , the origin of a legendary adventure The Djet VS is the direct heir of the René-Bonnet prototype of the 24 H. of Le Mans 1962, ultra-light and aerodynamic, its bodywork is practically identical. A competitor of the Alpine Renault berlinettes, it offers the advantage of the central-rear engine placement, in line with the queen architecture of racing cars. The Renault Gordini four-cylinder is a reference, the heart of the sports cars of the time (R8 Gordini, Alpine and even Formula Renault single-seaters). This hemispherical combustion chamber engine, with large valves and dual-throat carburetors has a true racing engine temperament. Only 355 Djets were built, today far fewer remain, the beautiful specimens are obviously very rare. (do not confuse with the Djet V, which are not equipped with the Gordini engine) This extraordinary machine, lively, fast and agile, usable daily, offers rare sensations, those of a racing driver, from the heroic era. Its streamlined and aerodynamic line, which can be compared to that of the contemporary Alfa Romeo TZ, is striking and evocative. This Matra Djet was thoroughly restored a few years ago and runs great, having participated several times in the historic Tour Auto. The Djet, a part of legend: the beginning of the extraordinary adventure of Matra-Sport, which in a few years revived French motorsport and won the most prestigious races and titles. Rare and historically important, beautiful, versatile a Matra Djet is a collectible car, extremely interesting and obviously suitable for many events or great Rallies. This specimen is excellent.
