Apple Mc: an Apple acquisition of McLaren would make perfect sense

The Formula 1 and supercar manufacturer has expertise to turn prototype into product, just what Apple needs to get its self-driving car project back on the road

Apple's possible acquisition of McLaren Technology Group, first reported in the Financial Times, could be just what the company's troubled self-driving car effort, code-named Project Titan, needs to get back on track.

The loss-making British automotive group is far more than just a Formula 1 team and supercar manufacturer. It has a tradition for innovation stretching back decades, including the first carbon fibre car in Formula 1 and the first carbon fibre-bodied road car, the McLaren F1.
