D.B. achieved a flourishing record at races in the 1950s. Its name, DB, was taken from the founders' initials, D for Charles Deutsch and B for Rene Bonnet. D.B. entered the races with their unique small sports cars that used the components of Panhard Dyna and it delivered outstanding results. Particularly at Le Mans 24 Hours, D.B. received the Index of performance five times. The displacement of the Panhard Dyna air-cooled flat twin engine was only 745cc, but it took full advantage of aerodynamics and its light weight to achieve competitive speed. The body by ANTEM also drew attention from an industrial design perspective. The entry displayed here was a factory team car which Rene Bonnet himself drove at races in North America. It took the 13th place in Sebring 12 Hours in 1952 and took the class titles at the races in Watkins Glen and Bridge Hampton in the following year.
