Wowsers, I have a test drive booked for Friday, McLaren not Apple, this could really upset plans.......or maybe make them more solid, who knows.

It's in the FT - both companies declining to comment....

Not sure I get the fit of the companies.

[BoRED S2upid]

Well they have more money than god.

Agree - why? Other than the positive exchange rate from a US perspective - what's the point?

It's hardly 'core' for them? And, why now? Worried somebody will pip them to it?

it will be to build " project Titan ". don't you know ?

Looking forward to opening the door on my future hyper car and it making that familiar Mac-start-up noise

[Mafffew]

fk I hope not.

McLaren seem to be on a roll these days, Apple will likely fk it up, remove something important and call it an "innovation" and "brave".

The rear view cameras will be able to blur the background I hear...

It will also have a single proprietary filling connection, replacing the fuel filler and all the fluid fillers

If you can find the proprietary I-fuel stations. It'll do around 3mpg too... but will link up with other McLarens in your garage so that all the ergonomics and radio station presets are aligned...

It's all about synergy Ron

It won't have a windscreen because it's courageous.

[Rawwr]

At least whenever someone crashes one, Apple can tell them they were driving it wrong.

Who will be the first to try 'Will it blend?'
