DB Le Mans
The DB Le Mans (later also sold as the René Bonnet Le Mans and René Bonnet Missile) is a fibreglass-bodied two-door sports car with front-wheel drive, built in France from 1959 until 1964. Originally equipped with Panhard two-cylinder boxers, the cars built by René Bonnet had Renault four-cylinder engines. The car, with pronounced tailfins and more comfortable than previous efforts by DB was aimed squarely at the US market.

Having met with some sales success (and many racing victories) in the United States, DB decided to tailormake a car for the US market. The more comfortable Le Mans was the result, and to underscore the intentions of the producers it had its world premiere at the 1959 Boston Motor Show. The European debut was shortly thereafter, at the 1959 Paris Motor Show. The car was a two-seater convertible built on the usual Panhard underpinnings, with the 848 cc flat-twin "Tigre" engine, capable of SAE at 6,000 rpm. The DIN claim is . The promised top speed was , putting performance on par with that of a period Porsche 356 "Dame" or an MGA.〔 The design, with its pronounced tailfins and low long nose, was the work of René Bonnet and his son Claude, as well as young designer Jacques Hubert. Charles Deutsch was preoccupied with other projects and took little interest in the Le Mans.
Production was small-scale and artisanal, with the expected resultant quality issues (although things improved as production continued). As is expected, many parts from mass-produced vehicles were used, most notably a cut-down Citroën DS windshield. Sales were reasonably good, although the price was somewhat elevated.
