Characteristics

The Matra Sports V12 is a four-stroke, water-cooled all-aluminum 60° double overhead camshaft V12 engine with a seven-main-bearing crankshaft. [2] It produced between 395–520 hp (295–388 kW; 400–527 PS), and 198–253 lb⋅ft (268–343 N⋅m) of torque.[3]

History

V12 Matra - first version

This engine was designed by engineer Georges Martin, who designed the Simca "Poissy engine". Martin joined Matra at the end of 1966 due to Philippe Guédon (who later became CEO of Matra), his former colleague at Simca without knowing what was expected of him. Jean-Luc Lagardère announced that it is responsible to design an engine for Formula One which has to develop 150 horsepower per litre.[4][5]
