2017 McLaren 540C

The McLaren 540C represents the smartest entry point into McLaren ownership. The most cost-effective and driver-focused car in the range, it grants access to the same carbon fibre chassis and twin-turbocharged powerplant shared with all of its big brothers, in the purest, most driver-tailored form McLaren offered. This is a chassis car in the purest sense. It starts with the carbon fibre MonoCell II tub, a single moulded monocoque that weighs a fraction of a steel structure while resisting flex that would blunt the feedback in a lesser car. Onto that McLaren hangs double wishbones at all four corners and an electro-hydraulic steering rack, deliberately kept hydraulic when the rest of the industry went electric, because nothing else transmits the road back to your palms with the same clarity. The flat-plane-crank 3.8L twin-turbo V8 sits low and mid-mounted for a centre of gravity close to the ground, spinning up with no drama and serious thrust, while the seamless-shift gearbox swaps gears without ever interrupting the drive. The result is a car that feels wired directly into your hands. Telepathic. 35,500 kilometres, finished in McLaren blue over a saddle brown full leather interior, a combination you simply do not see on these. Highlights: - Twin-turbocharged 3.8L V8 M383T Engine - 7-speed seamless-shift dual-clutch transmission (SSG) - Rear-wheel drive - Carbon fibre MonoCell II chassis - Adaptive damping with Normal, Sport and Track modes - 19-inch front / 20-inch rear wheels in gloss black - McLaren blue exterior - Saddle brown full leather interior - Bowers & Wilkins premium audio - MSO carbon fibre badge set - Carbon fibre steering wheel - Carbon fibre MSO shift paddles - Vertically Hinged doors Additional: - Catless downpipes - Velocity AP tuning - Diverter valve spacers - Frontal paint protection film (PPF) The case here is simple. A McLaren at this entry point already makes sense, and the way this one is specified narrows the gap to its bigger brothers to almost nothing. This car has been very well looked after, drives exactly the way a McLaren should, and looks even better doing it. Trade-ins accepted. Leasing and financing available OAC.
