McLaren 540C
The Sports Series line includes the coupe and the Spider with its power-retractable top, equipped with a twin-turbo, 3.8-litre V8 producing between 533 and 592 horsepower, according to the chosen variant. It’s impossible not to notice these cars on the road, with their eye-catching design and the spine-tingling sound of their engine. The Sports Series cars’ cockpit is restrained, but still luxurious, with ultra-light carbon-fibre seats, Alcantara trim and a vertically mounted infotainment screen.
