McLaren M6GT
Successive Cam-Am victories brought funds into the company, and Bruce – always more than a driver – was keen to test his skills as an innovator, designer and entrepreneur. Bruce’s intention was to build the ultimate sports car, and to build it to the highest specification possible. An approach echoed decades later with the awe-inspiring McLaren F1 project.As a McLaren, the proposed car would be based on the latest developments in race car engineering. It would also be the fastest road car in the world, and the fastest accelerating. Bruce used the prototype M6GT on his commute to work and to attend race meetings. Sadly, the dream to build 250 production cars a year died with Bruce.
