9 Reasons We Hope Apple Doesn't Buy McLaren
This week, it was rumoured that Apple was in talks with McLaren about a possible takeover. The reports were soon quashed by McLaren itself, and while that doesn’t rule out the possibility entirely, it’s probably best it doesn’t happen. After all, who knows what sort of ‘innovations’ Apple might bring to the McLaren stable given the chance.
These are the sort of things we’d have to look forward to…
Sat navs pre-loaded with Bono's voice
Yep, even if you didn’t ask for it.
Wheels that aren't even connected
Just like earphones, wheels have always been attached to the car. Which makes sense. But if Apple got involved…
Hilariously fragile windscreens
McLaren service centres replaced with Genius Bars
McLaren 650S Plus - 20% larger for no apparent reason
Apple Maps loaded as standard
Expect to get lost. A lot. While Bono shouts at you.
Fuel filler cap moved underneath the car
Because having it in an easy-to-reach area is just too mainstream. Also, you’d only be allowed to use official Apple fuel pumps. And they’ll change the nozzle every couple of years, so you’ll have to buy an adapter.
Chronic overheating
New line of 'Beats By Ron Dennis' headphones launched
Actually, maybe this one wouldn’t be so bad…

Guys relax seriously they only want McLaren for their automotive research to help with their car thats if I doubt they want to mess with their cars
When your car breaks down they’ll make you bring it to the shop and buy a new one
At least the rear view camera quality would be good
thinner, and filler cap, you need to put a dongle on doors to fill the gas tank
Every time you go to fix it you will need to give them your apple ID
