Is Audi taking over McLaren?

According to some reports, Audi is taking over McLaren, including the F1 team. This means that Audi could enter the world of the most prestigious car competition, Formula 1.

The news was published by Autocar, and fresh capital would be a good financial injection for McLaren. If Audi did take over the British company, it would own the entire group. That wouldn’t include the McLaren Applied Technology division that was sold last August to another investor. This would give Audi access to advanced technologies and motorsport, while McLaren would solve financial problems.

In an official statement, McLaren dismissed the information, saying: “McLaren’s technology strategy has always included talks and collaborations with relevant partners and suppliers, including other car manufacturers. But there is no change in the ownership structure of the McLaren Group.”

Audi has not yet commented on this announcement.

The teaser hints at the look of the top half of the SUV, and muscular fenders are also visible, as well as cutouts for the headlights. The body points to a matte black color.

The bodywork obviously hides huge off-road tires. Also, McLaren has released a side profile teaser that reveals narrow windows as well as rear wheel arches that rise high. It is clear that the electric car has a large ground clearance. The racing XE could hint at what the future McLaren SUV will look like, provided it ever goes into series production.

There are no technical details yet. The Extreme E-SUV Odyssey 21 introduced in 2019 specifically for the Extreme E competition could be a guide to the new McLaren XE. The Odyssey 21 is powered by a 536 hp (400 kW) electric motor. Reaches 62 mph in 4.5 seconds.
