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.
