Could Bring Game-Changing Automotive Technologies

Luxury carmakers BMW and McLaren want to partner and build a new line of electric supercars.  They successfully did it before back in 1992 and created the widely acclaimed McLaren F1 supercar, which was the world's fastest car with top speeds of 240.1 mph for 15 years.  Now they are working out arrangements to build British-based McLaren's first all-electric supercars.  The prospects of such a top automotive partnership are fascinating with both automakers bringing top quality craftsmanship, technologies, engineering and design.

Bringing Together Each Company's Strengths

If the deal is finalized, the two would develop electric powertrains and lightweight chassis to create a series of all-electric supercars, sports cars and hypercars for the future.  The strengths that each brings to the table are formidable.  BMW has a distinguished history of breakthrough engine development and has tremendous expertise in the development of electric powertrains and fitting them into models like the new 7 Series. McLaren is famous for its aerodynamic designs and highly advanced carbon fiber utilization to create lightweight cars.  McLaren already has an all-electric racing series called Extreme E.  BMW's electric 4 Series and 7 Series will hit the market later this year.  The automotive technologies and supercars that would come out of this potential partnership would be nothing short of awesome.
