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.

They're probably just scared that they will never be able to compete with Tesla in the electric car market, or the likes of any other successful car manufacturer without buying into another company.

                          I love my 2015 p1 if someday Apple get McLaren I will buy a corolla instead of a newer McLaren they probably would set a cheap car with the same super car price tag.

                                  If it was true, we could soon expect a car without 3 wheels because Apple thought it would be smart to safe car space that way...
