The mid-engined Matra Djet debuted as the René Bonnet Djet in 1962,
thus preceding other trendsetters as the Ford GT40 (1965)
and Lamborghini Miura (1966) by several years.
It was built until 1967 and
it had 1000-1250cc engines producing 80-110hp,
but it only weighted between 600 and 700kg.
...
I would love to see that car tested against a Lotus Elite and an early Alpine A-110.
