This is a later McLaren version (1970) with a low wing. The body style has been referred to as the "Batmobile" style body. The car had a 4" wider track than previous cars. The engine was an awesome 510 cid, aluminum Chevy big block. It is reported that it pumped 800 hp! In real life this car commands a price of $230,000! Not bad for an old racecar!

Paint is the distinctive bright orange of the McLaren team. Tampos are correctly sized and adorn the body. There is also correct black paint patterning added to the nose section. The multi piece wing can be removed. The rear panel also removes to reveal the awesome Chevy big block - it's wired and plumbed. "Goodyear" tampos can be found on each tire - by the way, the rear tires are simply huge! Interior details include a fire bottle and seat belt detail. "Doors" can be flipped open.
