    Audi Purchases McLaren Group Says Report

    UPDATE: McLaren Racing released the following statement.

    McLaren Group is aware of a news media report stating it has been sold to Audi. This is wholly inaccurate and McLaren is seeking to have the story removed.

    McLaren’s technology strategy has always involved ongoing discussions and collaboration with relevant partners and suppliers, including other carmakers, however, there has been no change in the ownership structure of the McLaren Group.

    Autocar is reporting that Audi has bought the McLaren in a deal that gives the German manufacturer complete control over the whole group and secures it an entry into Formula 1.

    The unnamed source claims that the executive chairman, Paul Walsh was presented with an offer from Audi and took it to the board, which is majority controlled by the Mumtalakat Holding Company, the sovereign wealth fund of Bahrain. It is said the board rejected the first offer, insisted Audi should double it and an agreement to conclude a deal then followed.

    We know McLaren has been under some financial pressure of late so this could secure the future of the Woking-based brand.

    This not only gives Audi another supercar brand to control but also opens up the possibility of Audi engines powering McLaren’s.

    An Audi spokesperson had no official comment to add at this stage, and McLaren has yet to respond to Autocar’s request for comment.

    From the Formula 1 point of view, this is now direct access to the top-tier racing for the Volkswagen Group who has been openly considering a commitment to the pinnacle of motorsport.

    • The brand new Haval H6 GT was spotted in Bedfordview JHB by @engineeringkulture 

The H6 is proving to be a big success in SA and this sportier-looking offering is likely to sell very well in Mzansi.

What do you think of it?

    • The first customer Maserati MC20 has landed in SA finished in Bianco Audace. We are expecting 9 units to arrive this year. 

The base comes in at R6,714,000 and that gets you a twin-turbo 3-litre V6 delivering 620 hp (463 kW) and 730 Nm of torque.

It is a very pretty thing. What do you all think?

    • The latest BMW X4 M Competition is undeniably quick. It packs a rip-snorting engine delivering bonkers acceleration and some seriously impressive handling agile enough to trick you into thinking it's a sports car.

This LCI model boasts a sweet technical update, with more performance and better tech on offer, plus bespoke M features for this halo model.

The ride however is a tad hard-edged and the X3 M Competition alternative does offer more practicality. If you prefer coupe-like styling this is the one for you even if Sao Paulo Yellow may not be your first choice.
