Ex-Lambo chassis chief joins Apple

Technology giant Apple has again signalled its intentions to push on with its secretive car project, hiring the former head of chassis and vehicle dynamics at Lamborghini.

Luigi Taraborrelli - whose 20-year career at the Italian supercar maker is surely a red herring as to the type of car that Apple will make - signed on with the American firm to work on its autonomous vehicle, named Project Titan.

Now in the eighth year of development, its launch date has been pencilled in for 2025.

Recent reports suggest that a passenger-facing design has now been signed off.

News that the Apple car might not feature a steering wheel will reassure many car manufacturers, at least in the medium term.
