The last driver to run a front-engine car in the Indianapolis 500 was Jim Hurtubise, who competed in the race in 1971. He drove a McLaren M16, which was adapted to accommodate a front-engine setup. This marked the end of an era, as the evolution of technology and design had shifted towards rear-engine cars, which became dominant in the following years.
A front engine roadster last won the Indianapolis 500 in 1964 and was driven by A.J. Foyt.
