Traditionally McLarens have been about as accessible as a safety deposit vault (no, not that one in Hatton Garden, but one which is actually difficult to rob). However, this new ‘entry level’ Macca is available from a reasonable £126,000.
Yes, we realise this could still buy you a holiday home in France. But a 17th-century gîte can’t hit 62mph in 3.5 seconds or top out at 199mph, can it? The 540 label comes from not only the maximum power – 540PS – but also the maximum torque – 540Nm. You just know the techno geeks at McLaren were rubbing their calculators with glee.
What you’re buying here is not just a car, though – it’s exclusivity. How many Porsche Turbos and Audi R8s do you see around town? Now compare that to McLarens. Decision made.
