I actually had to read the headline twice, in order to be sure that I was reading it correctly. > **[Why Apple may be kicking the tires on the hottest 'supercar' company in the...](http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/apple-mclaren-takeover-1.3772297)** > > British supercar company McLaren has denied a report that tech giant Apple is considering buying the company to kick-start its automotive ambitions. ---

Your wife would probably have a problem if you asked to buy the latest McLaren. 😉 Of interest: [http://jalopnik.com/apple-is-definitely-not-buying-mclaren-mclaren-says-1786901624](http://jalopnik.com/apple-is-definitely-not-buying-mclaren-mclaren-says-1786901624) ---

I had a wife once. Then when I divorced I became free to buy anything I wanted. But she had all my money! 😝 ---

I can’t tell you how many times over the years I’ve seen companies deny a merger is happening then the following week it happens. I wouldn’t be surprised if we hear the merger is happening. ---

But @MikeInNH, the new 570S is supposed to cost less than $200,000. What a bargain!😃 ---

If what Apple has been doing, or more accurately not doing, with the pro-line of computers is any indication, the Apple McLaren will be exactly the same as the original F1 with absolutely no technological advancement, but will look stupid and cost 20 million: ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/2X/d/daa493790b2ea66378c5baf752a5a390bc09d3d6.jpg)
