MCLAREN 540C PRESENTED

McLaren has unveiled its new model 540C coupe in Shanghai, the car which will soon become popular like competitive models such as the 911 Turbo and Audi R8 V10 FSI...

With a price that will start from 126 000 pounds in the UK, it is obvious that it is not much more expensive than a new model R8 which is 119 000 pounds, or 120,590 pounds Porsche 911 Turbo. Since McLaren is currently very much appreciated, Porsche and Audi have lost their advantages as regards the positioning of the brand. Spinning all around performance, looks and what the client wants.

This competition will connect these models as are connected, for example, 458 and Hurracan, or Aventador and F12. Why? Because their performance is almost identical, and prices do not significantly differ.

Porsche 911 Turbo has 521ks and reaches 100km / h in 3.4 seconds, with a top speed of 315km / h. R8 V10 is there with 540ks and 3.5 seconds to 100km / h. Maximum speed is 323km / h.

Where is the McLaren? Acceleration to 100 km / h is the same as the Audi 3.5 seconds with a top speed of 320km / h.

Can it lead to a debate about whether the 540C the most beautiful of the three models? Yes, it can and it is a detail which Germans should be afraid of. Appearance of mini P1 model with excellent lines is far from more attractive than already somewhat known R8. 911 Turbo is a wild machine and always will be our first choice, a look will never be obsolete, but the 540C serious competitor.
