The McLaren M23 was a Formula One car built by McLaren Racing. It was designed by Gordon Coppuck and John Barnard, and was a development of the McLaren M16 Indy car. The car won championships for Emerson Fittipaldi in 1974 and James Hunt in 1976, and was still being driven in F1 races by privateers as late as 1978.
