McLaren 540C · 2015–2021 · Buying guide

    540C.
    The entry into McLaren.

    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.

    Which version to choose?

    540C Coupe

    The only factory body style of the 540C, with dihedral doors. The most accessible McLaren of its time, still keeping the carbon-fibre monocoque.

    570S

    The stronger Sports Series model, sharing the 540C's structural base. Higher power and a sportier tune for buyers wanting a sharper character.

    570GT

    A Sports Series variant focused on comfort and extra luggage space under a side-hinged glass hatch. A gentler tune than the 570S.
