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.
