In that short time the firm has launched a handful of products and grown to become a proper rival to more established exotic marques such as Aston Martin, Ferrari [NYSE:RACE] and Lamborghini. McLaren is unique in that it groups its models into a three-tier hierarchy starting with the Sports Series at the bottom, the Super Series in the middle and the Ultimate Series at the top...

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...
