There have been rumors circulating the internet for months about Audi or BMW potentially buying McLaren. All three sides have repeatedly denied the reports, though there is some new movement, according to recent articles in German media. The situation is not very clear at the moment but we’ll try to walk you through the facts and rumors known for now.
In November last year, early reports indicated BMW could be interested in acquiring a stake in McLaren but the information was described as being “wrong” by representatives of the Bavarian automaker. A few days later, Audi was also involved as a potential new owner of the British company, though a PR manager from Ingolstadt was quick to say no official information could be released. Meanwhile, McLaren said “this is wholly inaccurate” and it announced it will seek for false reports to be removed by publications.
