Rumors of Apple interested in buying McLaren

This rumor came out today through the Financial Times. What do you think of this possibility? Cheers, Anthony...  

I could see them being interested in some of their carbon fiber technologies but I dismiss

this as nothing more than a rumor. I just don't see Apple being interested in combustion engines or such a niche area.

Time for an iMcLaren?

After everything Apple has been through trying to create their own car, they have finally come to a conclusion that this is not the business for them.

Bit of a mixture

That would be a very strange mix of companies I think. Can't see too much crossover in terms of product or skillsets But who knows? Tim

for McLaren's sake. As for Apple, I'm sure they will find the value they are looking for if they decide to purchase. Cheers, Filip

Would probably be the death of McLaren as we know it...a shame.

Great idea

It's the patent portfolio that is most interesting, and the obsessive secrecy and kick-butt pace of development that they have in common. Mike
