Today Matra is most known for their huge
Media section, but also
CAD/CAM & CFD ,
aerospace and
telecom.
- and since 2003, of course the new company Matra Automobile Engineering and
the paris & Romorantin based Matra Manufacturing & Services, which produce small electric vehicles.
However, many motorsport enthusiasts still remember the sound
of the "screaming Matra's" . In February 2003, Legardere Group however finally pulled
out of car-production - closing this wonderful chapter in the automobile industry. Matra will always
be remembered - and this website will attempt to help you with just that.
