Parbleu: 1965 Matra Bonnet DJet V

The Matra-Bonnet Djet V was originally designed by René Bonnet and produced by Matra after their takeover in 1964, it was the world’s first production mid-engined road car. This pioneering design set the stage for future sports cars and remains a celebrated innovation. The Djet V, introduced in 1965, featured several upgrades from the original models, including enhanced aerodynamics and improved…

The most recent book that surprised you in a good way?

I love book questions!!!

Two come to mind: Good Talk and The Buried: An Archeology of The Egyptian Revolution.

Good Talk is a memoir in graphic novel form about race in America. I knew it would be good because I know the author from college and she’s brilliant but I was surprised at how moving and insightful she was able to make a somewhat static form (the type of graphics she used). Everyone should read this book!!

The Buried is about Egyptian history and art and culture and how it all feeds into the revolution, Mubarak’s resignation, and what came in the four or so years after. I’ve been surprised at how atmospheric it is and how much more understanding of Egyptian art and sense of time - Djet and Neheh - I have. I’ve studied Egyptian art for years but this just made it “click”.

Yours,

V

🚘 #bixentef #tourisme #automobile #meteocar #vintage #legendcar #frenchcar #france 🇫🇷 #carspotters #remember #2k18 #avignonmotorfestival #matram350 Conçue par Philippe Guédon, le futur créateur du Renault Espace, la Matra M 530 dispose du moteur 4 cylindres en V de 1,7 litre, qui équipait la Ford Taunus 17M (1964 - 1967), installé en position centrale. La roue de secours et le réservoir de carburant sont placés à l'avant. La carrosserie en résine époxy a été fabriquée par Brissonneau et Lotz à Creil, puis par les usines Matra de Romorantin, à la suite d'insuffisances d'accrochage de la peinture, de la stabilité des coloris, de précisions d'ajustage et d'étanchéité, car les panneaux de la carrosserie sont agrafés sur une structure de tôles soudées. Celle-ci remplace la technique du châssis-poutre utilisée sur la précédente Matra-Bonnet Djet. La M 530 se caractérise par ses phares escamotables et son toit démontable en deux parties. Dévoilée au Salon de Genève 1967, la M 530, selon la presse automobile de l'époque, possède une très bonne tenue de route, une suspension très confortable et un freinage excellent. Pour le constructeur, cette voiture est destinée à une clientèle jeune et doit donc rester à un prix accessible, avec comme slogan « la voiture des copains » dérivée du nom de l'émission star Salut les copains. Cependant la voiture va rater sa cible car trop chère, la plupart des jeunes amateurs pouvant seulement s'offrir des Renault 8 ou des Simca 1000. Elle a aussi souffert du trop peu performant moteur hérité de la Ford Taunus. Elle fut finalement produite à moins de 10 000 exemplaires, soit 20 % de la production initialement prévue @wikipedia (à Parc des Expositions d'Avignon) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-XzQ0njX8b/?igshid=g4a6ze2fkfv2

The Matra Djet V – The World’s First Production Mid-Engined Road Car

The Matra Djet V (pronounced “jet”) and it’s forebear, the René Bonnet Djet, have the distinction of being the first full production car with a mid-engined layout, beating both the De Tomaso Vallelunga and the Lamborghini Miura to the punch.

Though it should be pointed out that as with any automotive first, there is considerable contention over this point.

Yuri Gagarin and his Matra Djet

A Djet was also gifted from the French government to Yuri Gagarin, the first man in space. It must have been quite a sight to see Yuri in his Djet among the otherwise less exciting cars typically seen on the roads of the Soviet Union.

Above: Yuri and his Djet, image courtesy of Weird Russia.

The Matra Djet A Brief History + Specifications

The Djet was a notably advanced car for its era, first introduced in 1962 the car featured a full composite (glass fibre) body, fully independent front and rear suspension consisting of double A-arms and coil springs, disc brakes on all four corners, a mid-mounted engine, exceptionally good aerodynamics (the Cv is approximately 0.25), and a kerb weight of between 615 and 660 kilograms (1,355 to 1,455 lbs).

A specification list like this wouldn’t be at all out of place for a brand new low-production sports car released today, almost 60 years later.

It’s likely that the styling of the Djet was influenced by Bonnet’s compatriots over at Alpine who had been building glass fibre sports and racing cars with engines in the rear since 1955. The mid-engine location, as opposed to the rear-engine location of the Alpines, gave the Djet more predictable handling that was perhaps a little more suited to non-professional drivers.

Funnily enough, Bonnet named the model “Djet” because he was worried the French wouldn’t pronounce the word “jet” correctly, but rather with a soft “d”.

The Matra Djet featured a slightly unusual chassis consisting of a fibreglass body bonded directly to a steel frame for improved rigidity. The design of the Djet’s body features a low sweeping nose up over a deeply curved windscreen across the roofline and then down a long rear window.

The tail of the car is a semi-Kammback design, all together the aerodynamics of this body gave even the smaller-engined 1.1 litre Djet a top speed in excess of 105 mph – a considerable speed for a small sports car at the time.

The Djet was sold in nine major model iterations including the Djet I (CBR 1), the Djet I (CBR 2), the Djet II, the Djet III, the Djet IV, the Aerodjet, the Djet V, the Djet V S, and the Jet 6. Engine sizes varied from 996cc up to 1,255cc, and horsepower ranged from 70 up to 105 in the road-going models.

Matra (Mechanique-Aviation-TRAction) took over Automobiles René Bonnet in 1964 after the automaker ran into significant financial troubles. Matra was well placed to take over production and the French aerospace and missile manufacturer was already building all of the fibreglass bodies for the Djet.

Matra would go on to have a remarkably successful time in the automotive world, winning the Formula 1 Drivers’ and Constructors’ Championships in 1969, as well as multiple wins at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

The 1967 Matra Djet V Shown Here

The car you see here is a 1967 Matra Djet V finished in French racing blue. The car is fitted with the 1,108cc Renault engine with approximately 70 hp at 6,000 rpm and 62 ft lbs of torque at 4,800 rpm, which can move the 615 kilogram car up to a top speed of 175 km/h (108.7 mph).

Just 916 of these were ever made and it’s not known how many have survived, this one still has its original wheels, and a glance at the engine bay and interior gives the distinct impression that the car is very close to factory-original from bumper to bumper.

This example of the Djet has been in Portugal since at least 2002, it due to sell with RM Sotheby’s at the Sáragga Collection Auction on the 20th of September. There’s no reserve on the sale, if you’d like to read more or register to bid you can click here to view the listing.

Pure France: 1967 Matra Djet V

Pure France: 1967 Matra Djet V

Even though we have released other D-Jet matras like this one, we have to admit that this is probably the best one, or at least the one that has the right color. Blue is to France as red is to Italy or silver to Germany (or yellow to Belgium, and so on): these were the colors that, since the beginning of the century, were attributed to the different nationalities of the builders of cars…
