Famous for its light carbon fibre construction and punchy V8, the 540C blends stunning speed with a surprising level of comfort for its class. As McLaren's most affordable offering, the 540C offers all the supercar drama you could want but with an eye on everyday practicality. First launched in 2015 as part of the brand's Sports Series, every model uses a 3.8-litre twin-turbocharged V8, delivering 533bhp and a 0-62mph time of 3.5 seconds. Compared to rivals like the Porsche 911 Turbo and Audi R8, the 540C stands out for balancing power and aggressive styling with supportive seats, a comfortable cabin, and a ride quality that surprises for a car of this calibre. A decent-sized front boot and a clear digital dash round out practical appointments, making it a rare performance car that's practical for weekends and driving about town.
