Photos of the car have gained thousands of comments and reactions since they dropped on the internet. Against the post, Mzansi has been trying to connect the dots about the car’s owner but to no avail.
Over the years, the open-top guise of the LaFerrari has become one of the most sought-after hypercars in the world, but how much is it? The Ferrari LaFerrari has a base price of R108 million ($5.8 million) in several dealerships dotted across the globe.
However, hypercar prices have ballooned over the years due to exclusivity. According to reports, a Ferrari LaFerrari with 174 miles recently sold for R130 million ($7 million). However, another Ferrari LaFerrari fetched R186 million ($10 million) in an auction.
