If McLaren not planning its' own Formula 1 engines, McLaren may poach Hyundai to Formula 1 by 2027

Well, that is one way to "develop" you car towards the back of the grid.....

 

​

No, Hyundai is completely unknown as F1 engine supplier.

 

Hyundai loves Rallying. Not F1.

 

Americas best warranty too

 

Just having the best warranty is no indication of their engine durability.......

 

And worst resale value!

 

Yikes….

 

If done, they're better off branding as Genesis

 

Most people would associate the name Genesis with a rock band.
It's not a brand marketed worldwide. Mostly in the US outside Soth Korea. Total global sales 220K in 2022.
But Hyundai is a well known car manufacturer with 3.94 millions global sales in 2022.
It's a no brainer which one would benefit from F1 exposure.

Anyway, McLaren has decided to continue with Mercedes powertrains until 2030 !

 

If they don’t go bankrupt by then!

 

Who will go bankrupt ?

 

Mclaren automotive

 

Do they show any sign of that ?

 

McLaren has admitted it is reliant on more investment from its Bahraini owner to stay afloat after losses at the business more than doubled last year. McLaren's losses swelled from £135m in 2021 to £349m last year, newly published accounts show.

 

Hummm ... McLaren may go through rough times like Aston Martin did, I don't doubt it.
But I would be surprised of they disappear totally.
Usually the debts are rescheduled, new investors come along, and the company has new owners.
Remember Aston Martin went through bankruptcy several times, and at least 9 different owners !!
In any case, I believe the racing team is separate from the car company.

 

Really hope they will survive !

 

So do I. Ferrari also survived, being rescued a few times, and going through different ownerships.
Same as Rolls Royce, Bentley, etc ...

 

I don't think that Aston will exist as a car manufacturer in 10 years time.

 

The luxury automakers that have chosen the path of electrification will disappear.
It’s as simple as that ( Lotus for example)
Try selling a swatch for the price of a Patek!

 

Your prejudices get the best of your judgement, I think.
The mode of propulsion is not so importany for many, and luxury can exist on electric vehicles too.
I have been passenger in electric cars, and it wasn't a bad experience to me.
I can see why they are heralded as progress, as long as one is open-minded enough.
I don't prophesise the total disparition of ICE in future, but I guess electrification will be the norm.
Luxury automakers on the whole will adapt it; Rolls-Royce, Porsche, Corvette, Jaguar among others are about to launch electric models very soon. I'm pretty sure they did serious market researched beforehand.

 

Currently here in the states, EV's sit on the lot on average at least 12 months. Most automakers are slowing down EV production since the market isn't taking off on EV's along with buying incentives from the current administration. ALOT of dealerships here in the states wrote a letter to the current President about EV's and what the market is suggesting given the Administration's PUSH for EV's. I seriously think that that letter will fall on deaf ears. As a matter of fact, they will ramp up even further the push for EV's. This Administration is not listening to anyone but themselves. They are tone deaf.

A 4 cylinder new car costs half as much as a same size EV.....and people are keeping their current gas powered cars for even longer durations.

Again, the market here in the states currently doesn't like EV's and IMO EV's should be decided by what the market suggests and not by a Government Administrations narrative.
