What you didn't mention is that it was in the original specifications: Lagardère insisted his V12 wouldn't produce noise but music

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.
