Apple's iCar could be based on BMW's electric i3 model - Daily Mail
Rumours suggest Apple's fabled vehicle could be based on the electric i3 model German source says Apple's car could be built, sold and serviced by BMW Two companies are said to be close to an official agreement Tim Cook, Apple's CEO, reportedly... Apple Chief Executive Tim Cook went to BMW's headquarters last year and senior Apple executives toured the carmaker's Leipzig factory to learn how it manufactures the i3 electric car, two sources familiar with the talks told Reuters. During the visit, Apple executives asked BMW board members detailed questions about tooling and production and BMW executives signaled readiness to license parts, one of the sources said. The carmaker says there are currently no talks with Apple about jointly developing a passenger car and Apple declined to comment. It's thought that the car, dubbed 'Project Titan' will look a bit like a minivan, compared with BMW's sleek hatchback designs, Digital Trends reported. Source: www.dailymail.co.uk
