Here are some pics I took at the Rimouski show car

Here is a very rare one: a McLaren m6GT. It is a road version of Bruce McLaren's race car. It has a 5.7 litters Chevrolet V8 of 600 HP, a four speed manual gearbox and weights only 636 kg. 0-100 km/h in 2.8 sec. I think only four have been made. I'll post some articles about this car that I have in a book later, when I'll have a scanner.

ENJOY!! :D

in the fashion of all race cars converted to road use... that mclaren is scary fast. sweet catch, it definitely looks every bit a racecar. those doors are pretty weird too

OUPS!!
sory for the mistake about the ferrari. They said it was a testarossa so I didn't do any further search. There's also the fact that all my attention was on the McLaren :!: .
By the way, it is a 1970 (I forgot to mention it before)

Rimouski...It's cool to see another JW users from Province du Québec. :D

Definitively this McLaren m6GT is really an exclusive car. Even if this car is a road version, one thing is sure: It's almost impossible to drive this car on our bad quality streets of Québec. :wink:

Cheers.

Yeah I know what you mean. When he got it, he used to drive it on the road. M. St-Pierre told me that he hasn't run it on the streets for 15 years, but next year he will probably immatriculate it. (he's a friend of my father and my grandfather...so...maybe if he do so i could take a ride with him 8) ( i know, i know i can always dream.) but if it happens, I'll take a vid and share it with you guys if I'm a member of the video section at this time...)

I hope that you will be able to have a ride in this rare racing car. It's obvious that we would like to see that. :D
