Drugim prototypem było, niezwykle aerodynamiczne coupé stylizowane przez Roberta Choulet. Auto nie było gotowe na wiosenne treningi więc frima wynajęła tor Le Mans na kilka dni do testów. Teoretyczna prędkość powinna wynosić 340 km/godz. Niestety podczas prób, prowadzony przez Pescaloro samochód uległ wypadkowi i został doszczędnie zniszczony.
Do wyścigu 24h Le Mans stanęły cztery samochody. Nowy 650 ma samonośne, aluminiowe, otwarte nadwozie, podobne do 630/650, ale z dłuższym tyłem. Nr 32 to ten sam smochód, który startował w ubiegłym roku. Jean-Pierre Beltoise i Piers Courage ukończyli wyścig na czwartym miejscu, pokonując dystans 4945,54 kilometrów ze średnią prędkością 206,064 km/godz.
After last year's unexpectedly good performance of the V-12 Type 630, Matra prepared a new, open bodied version of it. Built on the same principle of a multitubular chassis the new 630/650 barchetta benefits from very low line of only 0.76 meters. The car was first tried at the spring test drives at Le Mans.
