McLAREN 540C The McLaren 540C delivers a super car punch that would shame many more expensive rivals.

Even if you take for granted 0-124mph in a scarcely believable 10.5 seconds, nothing prepares you for the thrill of the 540C Coupe's race-bred dynamics. With a chassis honed to create an unrivalled balance, the Sports Series is as at home in the city as it is on the limits of the race track.

One of the many McLaren technologies the Sports Series shares with its Formula 1™ and supercar cousins is carbon fibre construction. The MonoCell II is a strong, rigid chassis that weighs less than 80 kg and provides exceptional crash protection and outstanding dynamics. This lightweight construction coupled with the potent mid-mounted V8 provide the best power-to-weight ratio of any sports car in its class.

Practicality is not a word normally associated with a top end sports car, but the McLaren Sports Series 540C offers everyday convenience in the ergonomically designed interior. Smart stowage areas offer carriage for necessary items, while a generous luggage capacity ensures that you can take everything for that weekend getaway.

To discover more about the McLaren range please contact Ian Groves on ian.groves@birmingham.mclaren.com or call 01564 787180.

McLAREN 570S The 570S CoupĂŠ is as equally suited at home, or on the track as it is on the open road. With the lightest weight in its class and the highest power to weight ratio, its dramatic, futuristic design is as eye-catching as it is functional.

The distinctive nose of the 570S is inspired by McLaren Formula 1™ race cars, shrink-wrapped dihedral doors are intricately contoured to channel cool air to the engine bay and 'flying buttress' rear pillars create an athletic silhouette while increasing downforce for reassuring handling.

The thrill of driving is key to every interaction with the car. Steering feel, agility, precision and adjustability are all enhanced, thanks to the McLaren obsession of reducing mass. The high power output, combined with the lightweight carbon fibre structure, means the 570S CoupĂŠ delivers a class leading power-to-weight ratio of 428bhp per tonne. The breathtaking performance provided by the 3.8-litre twin-turbo V8 engine of the 570S provides acceleration from 0 - 62mph in just 3.2 seconds. But it's not all about outright performance. It's about the breadth of ability across all types of roads that makes the Sports Series models truly rewarding by providing levels of comfort that keep you wanting to drive mile after mile.

A signature McLaren feature, the dihedral doors swing open to make entering and leaving as effortless as possible. Delicately contoured in lightweight aluminium, the unique-in-class doors extend all the way to the front wheel arches, and help to channel cool air to elegant wing-like air intakes integrated into the rear fenders.

The elegant, uncluttered interior architecture features the finest hand-stitched leather, satin-chrome highlights and a 'floating' centre console. An advanced TFT instrument display offers crisp LCD graphics configured in line with adaptive driving modes. No other sports car offers such an intoxicating combination of sophistication and race-bred technology.

McLAREN 570S SPIDER The McLaren 570S Spider, launched at the Goodwood Festival of Speed 2017 is the newest model in the Sports Series range. The front of the 570S Spider is strikingly low, creating a poised stance that emphasises the mid-engined layout. The crisp contours of the bonnet pierce the air and channel it over fluid, sculpted surfaces towards the side intakes and rear of the car which helps to achieve a top speed of 204mph.

The car uses the same mechanism as other McLaren models and the lightweight retractable hardtop takes just 15 seconds to disappear neatly into the beautifully crafted tonneau deck, even when you're driving at up to 25mph. Despite the advanced mechanism that makes the roof completely disappear into the car, 52 litres of luggage space is available at the rear when the roof is up. Another 150 litres is at the front, making the Spider an ideal choice for that long weekend away.

The dihedral doors are an iconic design feature on every McLaren. As well as making it easier to get in and out, these intricate doors guide air into the side intakes to feed the radiators.

An unintended benefit of the 570S Spider is that more people can appreciate the elegant interior when the roof is down. It features the finest hand-stitched leather, satin-chrome highlights and a 'floating' centre console. The result is an environment where you feel fully engaged to exploit the Spider's inspiring performance, while being equally at ease to enjoy the exceptional comfort on longer journeys.

The interior follows McLaren's design philosophy of 'everything for a reason'. Controls are positioned for maximum ease of use and minimum distraction. This exquisite and uncluttered interior is designed for pure driving engagement.

The Bowers & Wilkins 12-speaker surround system offers enhanced sound beyond the standard 4-speaker 240W audio system. Driven by a 14-channel 1280W amplifier it delivers crystal clear music through two carbon fibre Rohacell sub-bass woofers, five Kevlar mid-range drive units, and five aluminium Nautilus tweeters.

A seven-inch touchscreen accesses the intuitive McLaren IRIS infotainment system. Tap and swipe to control your settings, from satellite navigation to climate control and voice activation to optional rear-view camera.

McLAREN 570GT The sensational 570GT brings together all the dynamic hallmarks of the Sports Series, but with a greater emphasis on luxury and comfort. The 570GT combines McLaren's race derived technologies and supercar performance with an increased focus on usability and refinement. Built around the same lightweight carbon fibre chassis as the 570S CoupĂŠ, its aerodynamically optimised form features a distinctive new fastback-style rear-end with a panoramic glass roof, larger side windows and a side-opening rear glass hatch giving access to the touring deck and additional load space.

Inside, the 570GT delivers a sporting, yet luxurious interior. Refinement, comfort, stowage space and visibility have all been enhanced to provide a car capable of long distance touring, with levels of performance, handling and precision that will satisfy even the most demanding of drivers.

Power is delivered by the latest evolution of our twin-turbo 3.8-litre V8 engine. Generating 562 bhp, it provides electrifying performance, accelerating from zero to 62 mph in just 3.4 seconds and on to a top speed of 204 mph.

McLAREN 720S

The McLaren 720S embodies McLaren Automotive's relentless quest to push the limits of possibility. Lighter, stronger, faster.

The contours of the 720S are distinctly McLaren, yet the details are boldly different. The McLaren designers took inspiration from the Great White Shark, a beautifully sleek yet brutally efficient hunting machine. The resulting design for the 720S is exquisite form following ingenious function. The smooth flow of the exterior lines manipulates onrushing air to reduce drag and cool the engine.

Slim pillars on the teardrop-shaped cabin allow for the extraordinary glass canopy that floods the interior with daylight and offers unrivalled visibility.

An innovation of the technology first seen in the McLaren P1™ hypercar, the MonoCage II is a one-piece carbon fibre tub that now includes the roof. Unique to the supercar category, this high-strength, low-weight passenger cell provides unrivalled rigidity, resulting in thrilling driving dynamics and exceptional protection for you and your passenger. The MonoCage II, unique to the 720S, extends over the engine bay and includes wider door apertures that open into the roof.

The majestic opening of the doors is one of the most alluring design features of the 720S. Like a geometric work of art, the twinhinged dihedral doors sweep forwards and up, to make entering and exiting effortless and elegant.

Power is instantaneous and seemingly endless. Always ready to give more, it devours road and track with a ravenous appetite.

Combined with the world's most advanced suspension system, the 720S gives you the ultimate balance of power with control. The beating heart of the 720S is a new and fearsomely powerful M840T engine with 720PS. Press the start button and the twin-turbo V8 comes alive with a potent growl that ignites your senses and focuses your mind. Bathed in vibrant red light, every part of this 4.0litre unit is refined to maximise power, sharpen responses, and increase fuel efficiency.

The immense power of the 720S requires an equally responsive chassis. Proactive Chassis Control II was born from the findings of a five-year PhD course at the University of Cambridge. It gives you enormous ability on all road and track surfaces. Data from an array of sensors enables the 720S to better read the road and select a set-up that maximises grip. From a winding mountain pass to a challenging racetrack, you can push the limit with breathtaking control.

From the welcoming smell of superior leather to the tantalising touch of aluminium switchgear, the 720S has the most luxurious cabin to date. The realisation of supreme quality and comfort is visible in every detail. Controls are carefully angled and positioned for easy reach with minimum distraction. It's an interior crafted around the driver, allowing you to commit to an exhilarating drive.

ROLLS-ROYCE GHOST Dramatic yet graceful. Effortlessly simple with cutting-edge technology, Ghost and Ghost Extended Wheelbase forge a silent path of serenity through an ever-changing world with no ordinary power.

But this power goes beyond what lies beneath the bonnet. The design at the front brings a poise and verve whilst the luxurious interior with a choice of either full grain or natural grain leather and lambswool floor mats is instantly captivating.

Ghost is one of the most technologically advanced cars ever built. Powered by a twin turbo 6.6 litre V12 engine, every detail is precisely engineered for an effortless driving experience.

Driving becomes intuitive as technology delivers more intelligence than ever before. Satellite Aided Transmission uses GPS data teamed with the navigation system to scan the road. It then chooses the right gear on the eight-speed transmission to deliver power smoothly, without any unnecessary gear changes. So you can surge around every corner and accelerate out of every bend.

The ethos of Ghost is simplicity and every detail has a timeless elegance and purity. The classic 2:1 proportions of the wheel to body height ensure Ghost is a Rolls-Royce through and through. The dynamic design at the front adds more focus and edge.

Ghost Extended Wheelbase Being driven in Ghost Extended Wheelbase is like being immersed in pure luxury. Delivering all the poise and dynamism of Ghost but with 17 centimetres of extra legroom, Ghost Extended Wheelbase gives you more space to work, entertain or simply relax. The temptation to enjoy its comforts may be irresistible. However, you would be denying yourself one of the greatest pleasures of owning this motor car. Driving it.

ROLLS-ROYCE WRAITH Wraith opens the door to an entirely new level of driving experience. This is a motor car for the restless seekers, built on that same insatiable thirst for the ultimate of experiences. Intended to push the boundaries of design and engineering, Wraith is the true embodiment of Sir Henry Royce's vision: “Take the best that exists and make it better. When it does not exist, design it.” The potent 6.6 litre, turbo-charged V12 engine can launch you from 0-60 mph in 4.4 seconds, and just as swiftly on the journey of a lifetime. It delivers 624 bhp in a seamless surge of energy, effortlessly delivered through the eight-speed satellite aided automatic transmission. Clever technology also ensures Wraith maintains its composure over virtually any surface, with a state-of-the-art air suspension system compensating for the tiniest of lateral movements.

Inside, the Wraith's coach doors swing wide to reveal the most enticing four-seat Grand Tourer – a motor car comfortably capable of seating the driver, three passengers and their luggage with space to spare. The sweeping interior lines promise unashamed luxury that reflects the discerning taste of the driver. A selection of exquisitely hand-crafted veneers, created from single arcs of wood, offer license to display individual style. Overhead, Wraith's exceptional attention to detail is further exemplified. The cashmere headlining is available in either Seashell or Black, or specify a fixed glass roof to bathe the interior in natural light. For true drama, choose an intricately crafted and unique Starlight Headliner.

Consisting of up to 1,600 fibre optic lights, each hand-woven into the leather at assorted depths and angles, to bring the atmosphere of the night sky inside, and can even mirror a constellation of your choosing.

At Rolls-Royce, it's all about the detail and Wraith's eighteen-speaker Bespoke Audio System produces incredibly rich and deep sounds which have been finely tuned by Rolls-Royce experts. External microphones enhance its clarity by automatically adjusting the settings to compensate for exterior noise. Whether you choose the 'studio', 'theatre' or 'larger than live' sensation, high-precision Dirac® technology eliminates loud and quiet spots within the car to produce the smoothest, purest acoustics imaginable. Wraith's Satellite Aided Transmission predicts the road ahead, automatically selecting the right gear on the eight-speed transmission to make long-distance touring natural and effortless. In addition, Active Cruise Control is radar-enabled to keep track of vehicles in front and automatically maintain a safe distance, ensuring the smoothest possible ride.

For a more informed drive, the intelligent Head Up Display projects critical information in to the natural field of vision. This lessens eye-strain and ensures you can enjoy the ultimate driving experience free from distractions. Strategically placed cameras offer a 360-degree view around the car for assistance with manoeuvres, while an infrared eye in the front grille detects potential hazards at night, such as people and animals, up to 300 metres away. This assisted 'night vision' extends far beyond the headlights' beam and provides you with invaluable time to react to potential dangers.

ROLLS-ROYCE DAWN Night lifts to reveal a bold new silhouette; a Rolls-Royce like no other, steeped in prestigious heritage. Inspired by the iconic Silver Dawn of the 1950s, it provides the perfect blend of sophistication and true freedom.

The strikingly elegant design of Dawn can transform to perfectly complement its environment. A single touch reveals expansive vistas and a world of infinite opportunities. Awaken your senses. Seize every valuable moment shared with friends. Dawn lives in the moment. The moment is now.

Beneath the hood lies a 6.6 litre V12 twin-turbo engine, offering seemingly infinite reserves of power and exhilarating torque. With such a purposeful presence, Dawn dares you to discover the unexpected with the promise of a truly effortless drive.

Whether the roof is up, down or in motion, Dawn perfectly captures the timeless Rolls-Royce design principles. This is a motor car that is destined to become an icon. The imposing front grille, sweeping shoulder line and slender roof evoke a vision of dynamism.

While sleek side windows create a private, intimate atmosphere – hinting at the welcoming sanctuary within. On the open road or the driveway, Dawn simmers with power and purpose.

With one touch, Dawn's roof folds silently away – leaving you open to the elements for the most exhilarating drive. As the hood glides back, it reveals a striking deck, finished with handcrafted wood veneer that waterfalls forward to meet the driver.

Let nothing stand in the way of an exhilarating drive. Dawn is equipped with advanced driver assistance features, which ensures a smooth, safe ride from day to night.

Active Cruise Control uses a radar sensor to scan the road ahead for vehicles, adjusting the cruising speed accordingly. In lower light, Adaptive Headlights adapt to the ever-changing road conditions, while a grille-mounted infrared night vision camera detects potential hazards up to 300 metres ahead.

Throughout your journey, the intuitive Head Up Display provides key information such as current speed, directions, speed limits and lane departure warnings at a glance. These intelligent technologies give you the time and freedom to explore the road ahead.

You have unprecedented control inside the car too. The Spirit of Ecstasy controller lets you manage everything from your journey planner to your address book, with just a swipe of your finger.

ROLLS-ROYCE BLACK BADGE STEP INTO DARKNESS After day comes night. A time for adventure, mystery, discovery. A time to explore the darker edges of existence. This is the time for RollsRoyce Black Badge. An unexpected twist on the world's most iconic automotive marque, Black Badge is for those who relish the unfamiliar.

It is for the risk-takers. The rule-breakers. The fearless.

As it appears on the horizon, the Spirit of Ecstasy gives the first glimpse of what is different. With a more determined air, this most famous of emblems has been cloaked in the boldest, deepest hue: black. The distinctive Rolls-Royce grille continues this with high-gloss dark chrome to create a dramatic contrast against the LED headlights, asserting an unrivalled presence on the road. The final statement of transformation is made as the striking 21” wheels turn. First there is a dark glint of carbon fibre. Then a halo forms around the RollsRoyce emblem. Light gives way to dark. A bolder side takes over. Behind the bold aesthetics, effortless power lies poised.

Rolls-Royce Black Badge possesses the raw energy and agility to forge its own course. Armed with a muscular 6.6-litre V12 engine and honed gearbox, both models are capable of searing pace. As the speed increases, intuition takes over. Movements become tighter. The Black Badge powertrain reacts to the driver and contact with the road becomes ever closer. Along with enhanced steering and emboldened suspension, it delivers an assured straight-line performance, whatever the conditions. Promising to thrill the senses and command attention. Ghost Black Badge unleashes an enhanced torque of 840Nm, delivering increased power and making it the fastest Ghost yet. Intensified with Black Badge, Wraith upholds the pinnacle Rolls-Royce position. Reaching 0-60mph in just 4.3 seconds and with a powerful 870Nm torque, the 8-speed automatic transmission allows you to pull off with ease and delivers shorter gear ratios and higher revs for the most daring of drives.

The Spirit of Ecstasy Rotary Controller puts absolute control at the driver's fingertips – from journey planner to address book.

ROLLS-ROYCE DAWN BLACK BADGE Dawn Black Badge is the ultimate statement of defiance. Simmering with dark potential, Rolls-Royce’s drophead coupé is transformed into something braver and more audacious. In this intensely sensuous motor car, the night is only the beginning and every road is an adventure. Dawn Black Badge is temptation itself, sculpted to your vision.

Behind the wheel, the intensity is intoxicating. Instinct and impulse duel with confidence and control. The drama of the Rolls-Royce top-down drive is pushed to unprecedented levels with an optional sports exhaust. Dawn Black Badge’s 6.6 litre V12 twin-turbo engine offers seemingly infinite power, while enhanced torque and suspension deliver a more enthralling driving experience. The night is yours. The thrill is in the journey. The unlit future is in your hands.

ROLLS-ROYCE PHANTOM – THE EIGHTH GENERATION. The striking exterior design features powerful laser headlights, able to project up to 600 metres ahead, and elegant LED taillights, both significantly contributing to the more contemporary appearance of the eighth-generation Phantom, which is perfectly complimented by 22-inch Part Polished Forged Alloy wheels. The car pictured is finished in Premiere Silver with Armagnac leather, and features chrome plated visible exhausts and a black coachline.

The car is built upon The Architecture of Luxury – a new aluminium spaceframe unique to the eighth generation Phantom, making it 40kg lighter than the outgoing car. No other platform is capable of supporting the Phantom's length (6 metres) or weight (2.6 tonnes). Powering the vehicle is a 6.75 litre, twin turbocharged V12, producing incredible torque from 1700 rpm, allowing for effortless driving and instantly accessible power.

The engine, mated to a silky smooth 8-speed gearbox, produces 563 bhp and 664 lb/ft of torque, projecting the car from 0 to 62 mph in just 5.3 seconds, and onward to a top speed of 155 mph.

Keeping the car elegantly gliding along the road is a self-leveling pneumatic suspension, which intelligently utilises the front facing camera to judge road conditions ahead and adjust itself accordingly, ensuring passengers ride in supreme comfort at all times. The inside features larger and softer seats, and a revolutionised new dashboard display. The instrument dials are digital TFT colour display, replacing the outgoing Phantom's analogue dials. 150kg of sound deadening and 6mm thick double-glazed windows ensures a high level of tranquillity inside the cabin.

Customers are able to commission artwork to feature in the dashboard, which features a new 12.3-inch TFT infotainment screen, which emerges and tucks away at the push of a button, displaying satellite navigation, media and driver assistance information. To further add to the personalisation potential of the new Phantom, customers can specify the constellation from any date to feature in the car's starlight headliner.

To find out more about the new Phantom please call the team on 01564 787170.

THE PRINCESS V48 OPEN HIGH PERFORMANCE THRILLS. HIGH-LEVEL COMFORT. The V48 Open delivers the ultimate boating experience. Her performance, efficiency and exceptional handling, both at sea and in the marina are second to none.

As with all Princess yachts, she is designed to maximise space and comfort, coupled with exquisite craftsmanship throughout. The incredibly spacious teak-laid cockpit, offers generous seating, shaded by the canopy and electrically operated fabric roof.

The cockpit incorporates a wet bar whilst further aft a large integrated sunbed positioned above the tender garage can accommodate a 3.25m jet-rib, with ease of launch via the electro-hydraulic bathing platform.

EVERYTHING YOU WOULD EXPECT. AND MORE Below deck she features a spacious galley and dinette which can be converted to an occasional berth. With a full height fridge/freezer and all electric cooking appliances, the galley has all the amenities of a modern kitchen. The full beam stateroom and forward guest cabin, which you can specify with a double bed or scissor berths, are perfectly appointed.

As is always the case with Princess, personal choice is paramount. And so with the flexible V48 sports yacht, there's the option for an enclosed deck saloon model available with the option of a climate controlled interior, or the open design with a full-length cockpit and sunroof. Either way, you're assured supreme exhilaration with up to 34 knots at your fingertips.

If you are new to boating, then this yacht could be just right. The twin Volvo IPS 600 pod drive system, means that the V48 is extremely easy to drive, whether you are sliding sideways around a marina or cruising effortlessly at sea.
