In a year marked by luxury car acquisitions, South Africans have displayed their affinity for high-performance vehicles by purchasing a total of 31 Ferraris. According to the latest vehicle sales statistics from the National Association of Automobile Manufacturers of South Africa (Naamsa), these acquisitions have collectively tallied a bill exceeding R219 million (rand); equivalent of $11.7 million (USD).

The Italian supercar brand, renowned for its exclusivity and prestige, is notably represented by an assortment of models. Even the most budget-friendly Ferrari available in the South African market this year commands a starting price exceeding R5 million.

Among the seven distinct models that have made their presence felt on South African roads since January, the hybrid 296 GTB has emerged as the top choice among affluent motorists. With an impressive sales figure of 9 units, this model carries a price tag of at least R6.8 million, according to Top Auto.

However, the mantle of the most lucrative model belongs to the SF90, which carries a price of R15 million and has been successfully sold 6 times.

Pinpointing the exact amount of funds channeled into Ferrari purchases in South Africa proves to be a challenge for two primary reasons. Firstly, the automaker solely reports the sales of its models to Naamsa, neglecting to disclose data about individual model derivatives.

Given the brand’s distinct appeal, buyers who can afford these luxury vehicles are often inclined to invest beyond the base car price. This propensity to accessorize and personalize each Ferrari, upholding its unique status on the road, adds a layer of complexity to the assessment of expenditures.

Considering these factors, it is plausible that the aggregate sum directed towards this supercar brand in the country for this year might well surpass R300 million.

As the year progresses, Ferrari enthusiasts can anticipate the introduction of two new vehicles in the South African market. This includes the much-anticipated Roma Spider and the groundbreaking Purosangue – Ferrari’s inaugural foray into the realm of SUVs.
