History

DB HBR5

The DB HBR5 combined aerodynamic bodywork with minimal weight to create an effective competition car. Using Panhard's air-cooled flat-twin engine, it punched above its weight class in motorsport. The car won its class at Le Mans multiple times and proved that clever engineering could overcome limited power.
