Maybe VW should buy McLaren? It would fit their portfolio well and they could learn a thing or two from them (I guess).

Perhaps, VW would recruit key personnel from McLaren and transfer know-how. Much cheaper than buying a financially problematic company.

Moreover, I believe most of McLaren technology is subcontracted, like engines and gearboxes from Ricardo, carbon tubs by an Austrian company etc, so people are the main asset.

"Porsche....and Nothing else matters"

 

You really think that the people are the main asset and Porsche, Lamborghini and Audi do not have similarly capable engineers? Smiley The truth is: Everything is about money and cost. Give Porsche and Lamborghini the financial freedom McLaren had (meaning: much lower gains per car) and you'll see what happens.

Bottom line is: VW Group is greedy. It shows. Prices. Porsche and Lamborghini.
