Holy fucking shit that Aston Martin article is insane.

    In the first nine months of the year, Aston recorded a pre-tax profit of 2.2 million pounds, or roughly $29 million. It sold 3,330 cars, an increase of 65 percent. It lost 124 million pounds during the first nine months of 2016.

So 2.2m pounds is not $29 million, it's $2.9m. $2.9m over 3330 cars is $870.87 per car.

This is an Aston Martin DB11. It starts at $211,995.

This is an iPhone X. It starts at $999.

Aston Martin makes about $871 on that car. Apple makes $642 on that phone.
