McLaren 540C.
What to Check Before Buying.
The McLaren 540C is the entry-level model in McLaren's Sports Series, offering genuine supercar performance with a 3.8-litre twin-turbo V8 and carbon fibre chassis. Built between 2015 and 2019, it's more accessible than the brand's Super Series but still demands careful inspection before purchase. Running costs can be substantial, and while build quality is generally strong, certain issues crop up more frequently than others. Buyers should prioritise full service history and evidence of proper maintenance.
