This book is the new, greatly expanded edition (nearly 500 pages in total) of Dominique Vincent's book Matra, toute l’histoire, toutes les courses, published in 2017 by L’Autodrome.
The first part is devoted to the meteoric rise of Matra Sports and the history of each model (F3, F2, F1, sports prototypes, production cars entered in competition).
The second part recounts the history of each chassis, and the third and final section, entirely new and written by Philippe Coblence, a renowned engine engineer at MATRA and Renault Sport F1, is dedicated to engines: V12, V12T, F12, V6T, U8, L4, etc.
Matra Sports - L’histoire, les châssis, les moteurs features more than 1,200 photos and documents, insightful testimonials, and new or expanded chapters. Throughout the pages, the human, technical, and sporting dimensions of a unique legacy of audacity and innovation emerge.
The result of considerable work by the authors, this book makes an essential contribution to the collective memory of a great brand that is part of the world heritage of motor racing.
