Matra Murena

The Matra Murena is a mid-engined three-seat coupé made by Matra (Talbot) in France from 1980 to 1983. Its weirdest quirk: There are three seats in one row, side by side, so the driver gets two passengers.

A mid-engined French sports coupé with a galvanised chassis and plastic body panels, sold as a Talbot-Matra.
