The M8D was developed for the 1970 Can-Am season. The high strut-mounted rear wing of the M8B had been banned by Can-Am, so the M8D's rear wing was mounted low on fins, earning the car the nickname "Batmobile".[16] The Chevrolet V8 was again built by Bolthoff, who enlarged the engine to 7,620 cc (465 cu in). It now developed 670bhp at 6800rpm with 600 lb·ft (810 N·m) of torque.[1] Bruce McLaren was tragically fatally injured in an accident whilst testing the M8D at the Goodwood Circuit on 2 June 1970, when his car crashed on the Lavant Straight just before Woodcote corner after a section of the rear bodywork came adrift at speed.
