McLaren occupies a unique position in the rarefied world of super sports cars. While it is new, it comes with such a historic pedigree in Formula One, its credentials are questioned by no one.
The 540C Coupé Sport Series is the entry level model at $325,000 plus and unlike many others is beautiful from any angle. Simple yet elegant
Styled with the purpose of allowing some practicality with performance, the 540C allows the driver to choose between normal and sports modes and will race from 0-100kmh in 3.5 seconds, It has a mind boggling top speed of 320kmh yet the V8 will potter around town without fuss.

Rob Fraser – General dogsbody & Director
Rob is the founder of the business. He constantly mutters something about way too many red wines one evening being to blame.
Often known for taking the 4WD in the driveway over the sports car, he has travelled pretty much everywhere in Australia and when he is bored goes for a drive.
He first learned to drive on the farm in a left hand drive WW11 Jeep when he was 11, and was hooked on 4WDriving way back then. In addition to 4WD he is an avid motoring enthusiast and has maintained a strong interest in the industry ever since his teens. He has owned way too many cars in his time as well.
Having previously lived at the top of corporate life he retired in 2000 and hasn’t put a suit and tie on since. Cars are his passion so why not have a business doing what you love he figures.
He has towed either a caravan or camper trailer to most parts of Australia, has run guided tours for camper trailers’ and instructed drivers in off road towing.
