If you think about it, it's not actually the road car part of the business that Apple want, it's the F1 side. They have seen what Redbull have done with a team, so they will do the same. Global branding.
The road car business is also good if they want to go head to head with Tesla.
They will replace iris with iIris !

Thinking about this, maybe it was Chinese whispers and the company they are talking with is actually Lotus. I agree I'd rather Apple kept their hands off McLaren but I suppose it is better than being bought by Ford/GM/VAG group. Or even worse Fiat/Chrysler.
That would be good news for McLaren but fantastic news for Lotus. If any marque deserves a massive injection of funds it's Lotus.s2000db said:
Yes exactly, if they'd invested it wisely over the years, then they could have out McLaren'd McLaren!
Yep, in many way McLaren remind me of Lotus, which I mean ( mostly! ) as a compliment. Meanwhile don't forget the first Tesla was based around the Elise, there's great potential up in Norfolk.Gassing Station | McLaren | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
