For the 24h Le Mans in June the DB entered three cars. The No. 48 equipped with a new 850 cc engine, driven by Bonnet and Bayol finished in 21st place. The No. 57 of Eggen and Beaulieu uses a 745 cc engine; She will be disqualified for unauthorised assistance. Having the same engine the No. 56 with Aunaud and Pons at the wheel finished in the 30th (last) place.

In the spring Charles Deutsch and René Bonnet asked the stylist Philippe Charbonneaux to draw a coupé to be built on the 205 cm wheelbase chassis. The plan has been supplied to Antem but for financial and technical reasons did not go beyond the project stage.
