It's the first F1 car i ever saw. Amon and Beltoise screaming up through Abbey Curve at Silverstone in 1971. why would i not have heard of it. its sound was legendary in F1 and sportscar racing.
Interesting video, information I wasn't aware of. Used to see/hear the Matra F1 car back in the 70's. I'll never forget the sound of that engine powering out of turn 1 at Mosport.
"Matra F1 - The Best Sounding V12 You Probably Never Heard Of" - don't assume we have not heard of one of the most glorious sounding engines there has ever been. Three wins at Le Mans with this engine ain't bad.
Non è Matra ad avere un sound migliore. E' il periodo. TUTTI i motori di quegli anni avevano un sound migliore di quelli di oggi (o comunque diverso. Tipico degli anni '60-'70)
I love the sound of the Matra, it's beautiful to hear.

6:10 I think you forgot to mention some other well known (better known) best (better) racing drivers of the time.
Yep, Graham Hill winning Le Mans 1972 in one.
Music in my ears! 👀👽
excellent video and commentary thank you. best sounding v12 ever ?
What you didn't mention is that it was in the original specifications: Lagardère insisted his V12 wouldn't produce noise but music
Même Enzo Ferrari a reconnu que le bruit du V12 MATRA était fabuleux .
