The McLaren M24 was a race car designed and built by McLaren between 1977 and 1979 for Indy car racing.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

M24 was also the last-ever McLaren IndyCar car to date before McLaren decided to withdraw from CART IndyCar World Series after 1979 USAC Championship Car and SCCA/CART Indy Car Series seasons respectively due to concentrating on Formula One programme.
