Thank you all.

You can see for yourself, how many Matra prototypes used letter P

To be exhaustive, we must add the Matra Bagheera U8. It is a Bagheera with an extended wheelbase to accommodate an 8-cylinder U-shaped engine. That is to say, two parallel 4-cylinder engines connected by a chain. Economical to produce but disastrous in terms of fuel consumption.

The pic's show how Simca struggled with his direction. The Bagheera was innovative, while the Simca/Chrysler 2 litre in the background was the opposite.

Never heard about U engines, thnx it's interesting.

Most common layouts are line, V and boxer but there are much more variations. Lancia (when will we see a Fulvia in nfs4?) used a V4 which is different from the V4 by ford.

Great video of Matra in GTR game b.t.w
