McLaren MP4/3

The McLaren MP4/3 is a Formula One racing car built and run by McLaren International during the 1987 Formula One World Championship. It was designed under the leadership of long time McLaren engineer, American Steve Nichols, with engineers Neil Oatley, and Tim Wright also contributing, after executive engineer John Barnard quit the team in August 1986 to join rivals Ferrari. Additionally the car was the last to be powered by a TAG-Porsche engine. It was the first all-new chassis design for McLaren International since the successful Barnard designed MP4/2 series of cars debuted at the start of the 1984 season and the first McLaren designed by anyone other than Barnard since the Gordon Coppuck designed McLaren M30 had appeared in the last three races of the 1980 season.
