The Ménétries M288 is an OWR car designed by Nicolas Mignard and Adrien Lémery for Ménétries, and used during the 1988 Formula One season. The M288 was an heavily revised version of the previous M287 model, with updates to the nose, front and rear wing, suspension mountings, sidepods and wheel attachements. In preperation for the 1989 season, the team elected to use the new naturally aspirated Judd V8 engine, instead of the old Renault V6 turbo, that ran as a Ménétries unit in 1987. The car was driven by veterans Léopold Manoury and Olivier Baillieu.
