"McLaren Automotive... is introducing new measures to boost efficiency as it drives for another record year of sales," its April Fools' Day press release states. It goes on to provide a few examples, such as measuring the water level in its lake daily, measuring and replacing floor tiles that are even 0.01 millimeters out of spec and ensuring its employees walk around like robots with "metronomic timing."

The freakiest part of it, though, is the synchronized tea drinking. Watch the video up top and tell me you won't see that featured in an upcoming night terror. I knew McLaren ran a tight ship, but... yeesh.
