McLaren has unveiled its most affordable model yet at the Shanghai motor show.

At £126k, though, the 540C is hardly what we’d call a steal. Still, there’s plenty to get excited about…

It’s got butterfly doors!

It looks good…

…though McLaren seems to have taken the lead from Audi for its spot-the-difference across-the-range styling.

It has a twin-turbo 3.8-litre engine

…and its ‘s nearly the same as the one in the fire-breathing P1.

It’s more interesting than a Porsche

It’s priced to compete with top-end 911s, but the McLaren is just a tad more appealing.

It does 0-62mph in 3.5 seconds

Not exactly hedonistic by super car standards, but still appreciably quick.

It has a carbon fibre chassis

Yet another component shared with its bigger McLaren brothers – and we reckon it’ll be all the better for it…
