This Matra Djet V model car faithfully reproduces the car that participated in the famous Monte Carlo Rally in 1966, driven by the duo Henri Pescarolo and Jean-Pierre Jaussaud. This 1:43 scale replica captures the essence of this French racing car that made motorsport history.
A true collector's item , this model car is aimed at French car enthusiasts and motorsport fans who wish to own a piece of French car rallying history from the 1960s.
The Matra Djet V was launched in 1965 as the natural evolution of the original Djet. This revolutionary little sports coupé was powered by a 1.3-liter Renault Gordini engine developing approximately 95 horsepower, mounted in a mid-rear position—a pioneering configuration for the time. This unique architecture gave the Djet V exceptional handling and optimal weight distribution.
The vehicle was distinguished by its fiberglass body , an innovative material that allowed for a low weight of around 650 kg. Its elegant lines and remarkable performance made it a serious rival to the Porsche 911s of the time, while displaying a resolutely French character.
Participation in the 1966 Monte Carlo Rally with Pescarolo and Jaussaud demonstrated the sporting qualities of this model, helping to establish Matra's emerging reputation in the world of motor racing .
In 1966, Matra (Mécanique Aviation Traction) was still a young car manufacturer, born from the diversification of an aeronautics group. Founded by Marcel Chassagny, the company had acquired the rights to the Djet from René Bonnet in 1964, marking its first steps into the sports car industry.
This period represented the golden age of French innovation in sports cars. Matra was developing a revolutionary technical approach, combining aeronautical expertise with the demands of the road. The trident brand positioned itself as a technological laboratory, exploring bold solutions that would have a lasting impact on the automotive industry.
Committing to competition, particularly with renowned drivers such as Henri Pescarolo , allowed Matra to test and validate its technical innovations. This strategy would bear fruit with future successes in Formula 1 and the 24 Hours of Le Mans .
The 1966 Monte Carlo Rally remains etched in our memory for several historical reasons. This edition marked a pivotal era when French cars were attempting to assert themselves against the dominance of German and Italian brands. The Matra Djet V of Pescarolo and Jaussaud perfectly embodied this spirit of French defiance.
Henri Pescarolo, who would later become a Le Mans 24 Hours legend, was a promising driver looking to prove himself. His partnership with Jean-Pierre Jaussaud in this Matra Djet V represented the perfect marriage of emerging talent and innovative technology. The particularly difficult conditions of this 1966 edition, with icy roads and dense fog, put the little French car's qualities to the test.
The performance of this Matra Djet V in the Alps helped to forge the brand's sporting reputation. Although it did not win the event, the car demonstrated its reliability and dynamic qualities in the face of the formidable Monaco special stages, paving the way for Matra's future successes in competition.
This participation also symbolized the golden age of French car rallying , a time when national manufacturers did not hesitate to challenge established references with bold technical solutions and a typically Gallic temperament.
This Matra Djet V occupies a special place in the world of French model cars. It perfectly represents the pioneering spirit of the 1960s, a period when French manufacturers competed in technical audacity. Its presence in a collection demonstrates a deep knowledge of French automotive history.
Collectors will particularly appreciate the complementarity of this model with other French cars of the same era , notably the Alpine Renault or the René Bonnet which shared the same sporting philosophy.
This model car is aimed at both motorsport enthusiasts and fans of French industrial history. It naturally finds its place alongside other models of racing cars or vehicles from the 1960s , constituting an authentic testimony to a bygone era when French innovation shone on circuits around the world.

In addition to a very important selection of various miniatures, the bernardminiatures site is characterized by fast and courteous customer service. I experienced a disappointment during my first order with a damaged package and breakage. The handling of the dispute was immediate and a second shipment followed. You can order with confidence; customer service will always be up to the task. Gilbert.
