1995 McLaren F1 GTR

The first prototype "GTR" (as the race version became known) was called "01R". It was used as a development machine to test the modifications made to the road car to turn it into a sports racer. Interestingly, the race version has a less powerful engine than the road car, due to tighter air inlet restrictors that are required by the rules. However, it is lighter than the already light street car and has very few creature comforts. The moveable rear air brake from the road car is not found on the race car, as automatically moveable aerodynamics are not permitted for use in racing. The underbody fan assisted aerodynamics from the "standard" F1 are gone too, a victim of the regulations. In their place, the racer has a large rear wing to provide downforce at speed. It also produces drag, so the race car has a lower top speed than the street version.

The car features numerous proprietary designs and technologies. It is lighter and has a more streamlined structure than even most of its modern rivals and competitors despite having one seat more than most similar sports cars, with the driver's seat located in the middle. It features a powerful engine and is somewhat track oriented, but not to the degree that it compromises everyday usability and comfort. It was conceived as an exercise in creating what its designers hoped would be considered the ultimate road car. Despite not having been designed as a track machine, a modified race car edition of the vehicle won several races, including the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1995, where it faced purpose-built prototype race cars. Production began in 1992 and ended in 1998. In all, 106 cars were manufactured, with some variations in the design.

The McLaren M6A was a racing car developed by driver Bruce McLaren and his Bruce McLaren Motor Racing team for their entry in 1967 Can-Am season. As a replacement for the team's M1Bs from 1966, the Chevrolet-powered McLaren M6A's improved design earned Bruce McLaren and his team their first of multiple Can-Am championships. After the McLaren M6A were replaced by the M8A in preparation for 1968, McLaren and technical partner Trojan developed the M6B which was sold to customers for use in Can-Am as well as other racing series.
