Per osmosi i fan monteranno le tende per vedere per primi le nuove Mclaren di serie.

La butto li: ad Apple interessa McLaren Applied Electronics e i veicoli autonomi, oltre a business che genera visibilità e soldi a palate come quello delle auto di lusso.

Però sa benissimo come intortare il mondo per farli

è ovvio... ma potrebbe anche non disdegnare il resto, anche solo in ottica sponsorizzazione pesante: se risponde al vero l'intenzione del prossimo "boss" baffuto di rilanciare con 4 GP quattro negli States il circo F1 nel mercato d'elezione di Cupertino un pensiero lo potrebbero fare. Poi è anche logico che si avvicinino ad un gruppo come McLaren, affine per area di posizionamento ma autonomo, non controllato da un costruttore tradizionale come i concorrenti diretti quali Ferrari, Lamborghini, Daimler-Jaguar, Rolls...

Apple in talks with racing carmaker McLaren iPhone maker approaches British supercar group about automotive tie-up Read latest: Apple: chequered future AN HOUR AGO AN HOUR AGO by: Matthew Garrahan in New York and Tim Bradshaw in San Francisco Apple has approached McLaren Technology Group, the British supercar engineer and Formula One team owner, about a potential acquisition, in the clearest sign yet that the iPhone maker is seeking to transform the automotive industry. The California technology group, which has been working on a self-driving electric vehicle for more than two years, is considering a full takeover of McLaren or a strategic investment, according to three people briefed on the negotiations who said talks started several months ago. A tie-up with McLaren, whose expertise ranges from automotive engineering and on-board computer systems to novel chassis materials such as carbon fibre and aluminium, could accelerate Apple’s secretive automotive project. Apple and McLaren declined to comment. The lossmaking automotive group was likely to be valued at between £1bn and £1.5bn, the people said, adding that it was not clear a deal would be done. That would make it Apple’s biggest acquisition since the $3bn purchase of Beats Electronics, the audio group founded by Dr Dre and Jimmy Iovine, in 2014. Earlier this year, Apple invested $1bn in Didi Chuxing, the Chinese ride-hailing company. That deal was Apple’s largest equity investment to date, as chief executive Tim Cook gradually breaks with the Silicon Valley company’s longstanding aversion to large deals. McLaren produces luxury sports cars that can cost as much as $1m apiece and owns an advanced technologies group, as well as the eponymous Formula One racing team. The owners of McLaren Technology control 80 per cent of McLaren Automotive. It produced 1,654 vehicles last year, generating revenues of £450m, and has pledged to invest £1bn in the next six years on research and development.
