  • Ferrari LaFerrari - Image via Mecum Auctions

    There's a new special Ferrari that's getting ready to set the world abuzz with high-revving fervor. This won't be a V-8 buzz mind you, and it probably won't be the sort of buzz that breathes through a pair of turbochargers. This is the sort of buzz that only twelve cylinders can create, especially when they're packaged in a vehicle that looks to be about the size and shape of the Ferrari 458 or 488 GTB. According to our friends at Motor1, the mystery Ferrari popped up on the automotive radar after some teasing images were posted by an Instagram user that goes by the handle Gregb.23. The...
