McLaren would be the easiest way for Audi to get into F1
Audi (and Lamborghini) could help build a McLaren SUV
McLaren has thus far been a holdout about getting in on this SUV fad — a.k.a. the modern car market. But the Lamborghini Urus has been a massive sales success. Ditto for Rolls-Royce with the Cullinan. Aston Martin has an SUV. Ferrari has one in development. McLaren building an SUV will probably be a necessity for the bottom line.
Access to Audi engines and platforms — as it did with Lamborghini — could help McLaren get a profitable VW-platform-based SUV to market fairly quickly.
McLaren could help Lamborghini ditch V12 engines
Audi owns Lamborghini, and Lamborghini has a big engineering project ahead of itself. The company hasn’t released an all-new sports car — if we’re discounting the Urus — since 2014. The future will mean not just ditching the V12 engines for road cars, but producing future hybrid — Lamborghini has pledged to be all hybrid in some form by 2024 — and electric cars. McLaren engineering — already building hybrid sports cars —could help facilitate that project.
