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…
