Rumor claims Apple wants to buy McLaren, McLaren says it isn't true

21 September 2016
Earlier today FT published a report claiming that Apple is in talks to buy supercar maker and F1 racing team McLaren. The information supposedly came from three unnamed sources. Furthermore, the New York Times also separately said pretty much the same thing.

Wawo this would have been my favourite news for now my favourite brand McLaren and Apple Inc

    apple has been overpricing their products and milking their customers for long but not long enough to buy mclaren,
    they must milk more.

            if apple bought it, the car would totally be bendable, the engine would overheat and you could took it into sea since it wud be water resistant

              Yes it would be brilliant not!!!

              Sorry to say but Americans don't have a good track record for making decent high performance cars.

              Look at Fords track record when it owned Aston Martin! They can build fast cars with big noisy engines which is fine if your always going in a straight line, But put some corners in and the car will end up cart wheeling into a ball of flames!


              Apple would have MacClaren which every time you crashed it would always be your fault because you was holding it wrong!

              The engine could be a whining noise.

                I hope it is true because apple will revolutionize the auto industry Lol
                Rectangular steering
                Jet black paint plus jet black wheels
                Refueling at apple filling station because you need a lightening fuel adapter
                A9 engine with no official horse power figures
                And yes triple the price because we can.
                The list goes on and on

                      Apple don't even have a fraction of Mclaren's genius innovation in car making. They have no right in buying andd running such a great car firm.

                              I know what Apple's dream is. Strip all the expensive interior out and use cheap parts. Then sell it at an even higher price hahahaha.

                                    But also remember that you can get the iClaren Plus which includes extra wheel.

                                        I certainly hope it's all but true. Please no, it would be a disaster for McLaren.
