All I can help you with is that it has a 4.4 ltr V8 with 286 bhp and a 0-60 of about 6.5 seconds and a limited top speed of 155mph. Probably would have been my second choice of car. Neil |

Hi i just joined today and i have a few questions.. I am going looking for a new car next week and i have my heart set on the 2000ish 540 sport (manual) ..is this a good choice? and are there any parts out there to fit this car eg engine mods.. I can't seem to find any performance figures for the car but presume it must be pretty quick having such a big engine! Any feedback would be helpful thanks |
