Mclaren 540C

The Mclaren 540C reaches 60 mph in 2.81 s (100 km/h in 2.93 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 10.68 s, tripping the lights at 131.6 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 1.71 s and the eighth mile in 6.93 s, reaching 100 mph in 6.15 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Pick who it runs against, then watch it happen — and change the surface, the weather or the distance and run it again.

About the 540C

The 2015 Mclaren 540C is a rear-drive turbocharged supercar of 1,313 kg with 532 bhp, which works out at 405 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 405 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 1.71 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 198th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest five per cent, and the 24th quickest of the 32 Mclarens here. Its 131.6 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 11 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Mclaren 540C 0-60 time?
The Mclaren 540C reaches 60 mph in 2.81 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 198th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Mclaren 540C quarter mile time?
10.68 s at 131.6 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 6.93 s and clears the first 60 ft in 1.71 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Mclaren 540C have?
532 bhp and 1,313 kg, which is 405 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, turbocharged, with 7 gears and a quoted top speed of 320 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Mclaren 540C?
Closest here on pace: Lamborghini Huracan Evo Epyder 5.2 V10 640 (2.74 s), Ferrari 458 Speciale (2.74 s), Maserati MC20 Cielo (2.90 s). Each one can be raced against the Mclaren 540C in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Mclaren 540C is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 11 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
