This week, news broke out of a tentative meeting between the highest acquisition executive of Apple and the CEO of Tesla, an electric car company. The grapevines went crazy after that, with a hundred guesses of what an Apple car would look like.

Official Reports
According to reliable resources familiar with the issue, such as the San Francisco Chronicle, the meeting did in fact take place last spring. The involved parties were reported to be Adrian Perica of Apple, Inc and Elon Musk of Tesla Motors. If this deal does happen, read on to see some predictions on the matter.
What Would Apple Name Its Car?
No contest on this one – it would be called the iCar, period. Judging from Apple’s prior products, it is only natural for you to assume that newer versions of the iCar would be known as iCar 2, iCar3, iCarS and such.
What Color Would An Apple Car Be?
Applying the same logic as used in the Vespa camera here, the car would probably imitate the colors of the famous Apple logo – gunmetal grey. Apple may produce an exclusive range of iCars in gold as well as other colors that would be available in the ‘C’ versions of the car.
Features And Functionality
If you use your wildest imagination, you know the first thing that comes to mind is a display on the dashboard of the iCar that largely resembles a life-sized iPad. Equipped with Retina display as well as the newest iOS update, it would incorporate iTunes, podcasts, photos, and of course, the App Store with its extensive collection of car-related apps.
Navigation And Drive
The primary navigation tool in this baby will, sadly enough, be controlled by Apple Maps. Which means you will probably just end up driving around in circles until your dot simply decides to disappear off the map.
