Cupertino opens up to the world of engines and aims high, directly to Formula 1. Apple is said to be negotiating with McLaren Technology Group, in view of a possible acquisition.
The news was revealed by the Financial Times which, quoting some sources, said the negotiations would be a clear signal of how Apple aims to enter and transform the four-wheeler industry from within.
McLaren is valued at between £3bn and £XNUMXbn, but it doesn't generate profits and would be Apple's biggest acquisition, after Beats Electronics, which it bought for $XNUMXbn.
The iPhone manufacturer, which has been working on an autonomous car for over two years, could have two options: an acquisition or a strategic investment. Several sources tell the British newspaper, according to which the negotiations began months ago.
