1970 MCLAREN CHEVROLET M8D
The M8D was developed for the 1970 Can-Am season. The high strut-mounted rear wing of the M8B had been banned by Can-Am, so the M8D's rear wing was mounted low on fins, earning the car the nickname "Batmobile". The Chevrolet V8 was again built by Bolthoff, who enlarged the engine to 7,620 cc (465 cu in). It now developed 670bhp at 6800rpm. Bruce McLaren won in the searing heat at Riverside and Denny Hulme won in Las Vegas. Hulme won the 1968 championship with 35 points, and McLaren finished second with 24 points
