McLaren M6 A1 was built by McLaren for the 1967 Can-Am Series. It is mostly magnesium alloy, with a short wheelbase to fit Bruce McLaren, who drove the car throughout that season, which was the second in the existence of the series. It was first powered by an experimental aluminum, and then iron, small-block Chevrolet engine with Lucas fuel injection and a Hewland five-speed transmission. That season would reward Bruce with the first of what would become two Can-Am series championships. Of the six races run in the 1967 series, the M6 A 1 finished in second place twice, and in first place twice. At Laguna Seca, Bruce would lap the entire field in this car.
