McLaren 540C Coupe

The McLaren 570S is a sports car designed and manufactured by McLaren Automotive. It was unveiled at the 2015 New York International Auto Show.[4][5] McLaren predicts the model will help triple the company's sales volume by 2020,[6] with UK pricing scheduled at £143,250,[1] whilst North American pricing is estimated at $180,000.[Design

The car is to be powered by a new iteration of the 3.8-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine already used in the McLaren 650S and P1, designated M838T E with thirty percent of the parts redesigned. Arranged in the car as a rear-mid engine configuration, it will deliver 562 brake horsepower (419 kW) through a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox. A total weight of 1,313 kilograms (2,895 lb) gives the 570S a power to weight ratio of 428 brake horsepower (319 kW) per tonne, delivering a fuel economy of 25.5 miles per imperial gallon (11.1 L/100 km; 21.2 mpg-US) and CO2 emissions of 258 g/km.

McLaren focused on delivering "day-to-day usability and driveability" against the most sporting model options in its range with increased luggage space, greater interior storage and leather upholstery options.[1][2][7]
Variants
540C

At the 2015 Shanghai Motor Show, the entry level McLaren Sports Series car named 540C was unveiled with 533 brake horsepower (397 kW). This new entry level model focuses on “day-to-day usability and driveability” even more than that of the 570S with improved city driving and ride quality. The 540C will be even cheaper than the 570S at only £126,000 and will go on sale shortly after its Shanghai debut. The 540C will not be available in the US due to McLaren wanting to focus on the more powerful 570S model for the US market.
