Denny Hulme McLaren M8D

McLaren M8D at the Bruce Mclaren feature at the London Classic Car show.

 

Being a graphic designer I was drawn to the script typrface on the side of the car.

 

Tragically, the M8D is most remembered as the vehicle in which Bruce McLaren died. However, it also provided the team with one of the most successful years in Can‐Am, winning nine of the ten rounds. Nicknamed ‘the Batmobile,’ the M8D was designed by Jo Marquart and produced in 1970 with a Chevrolet V8 engine producing a power output of 680bhp.
