Hommell Barquette ( 1 of 52). 

It’s quite possible that you immediately recognise this rather quirky and esoteric car, know all about its origins and could wax lyrical about it for hours on end.It’s equally possible that you’re scratching your head, thumbing through your encyclopedia of obscure cars and wondering what kind of automotive unicorn this could be.Alternatively, and we think this is rather more likely if you’re of a certain age, this car might induce in you some weird sense of déjà vu, a vague and troubling recollection of having seen it before - somewhere, somehow, some time.Allow me to jog your memory.Michel Hommell is, among other things, an engineer, a racing driver, the producer of France’s best-selling automotive magazines, and the owner of a particularly fine car collection housed in his Manoir de l'Automobile museum in Brittany.The eponymous Hommell Barquette was a track car launched in 1994 alongside a road-going version called the Berlinette, which was primarily manufactured to homologate the racing version.It was built out of the Frenchman’s desire to create something new, exciting and proudly Gallic in the manner of Alpine, Venturi, Matra and De La Chapelle.Weighing in at just 940kg and powered by a 16V 2.0-litre Peugeot engine producing 155 bhp, the Barquette was very much in tune with Colin Chapman’s oft-copied mantra that lightness matters more than power.The car had a tubular frame, front and rear double wishbones, a GRP body, and a 6-speed H-pattern gearbox.

Only 52 Hommell Barquettes were ever made.
