The 540C opens the Sports Series range, built from 2015 to 2021 as the most accessible McLaren of its era. It is powered by a 3.8 twin-turbo V8 producing 540 PS, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox and rear-wheel drive. The structure uses a carbon-fibre monocoque, just like the brand's pricier models. The car reaches 100 km/h in about 3.5 seconds, offering supercar performance in a more attainable package.
Recent Mclaren 540C lots that passed our inspection. Price shown is the start price. Hammer typically lands 1.3–2× higher.
The only factory body style of the 540C, with dihedral doors. The most accessible McLaren of its time, still keeping the carbon-fibre monocoque.
The stronger Sports Series model, sharing the 540C's structural base. Higher power and a sportier tune for buyers wanting a sharper character.
A Sports Series variant focused on comfort and extra luggage space under a side-hinged glass hatch. A gentler tune than the 570S.
