6 of the most expensive cars you can buy in South Africa right now
While new vehicle sales in August showed a decline of 2.5% year-on-year, many locals still splash out on some of the finest vehicles money can buy.
According to the latest South African Wealth Report, luxury SUVs are especially popular with the country’s super-rich, primarily because of their:
- High road clearance (SUVs handle potholes and bad roads better than luxury sedans and sports cars);
- Safety aspects;
- Space for children; and
- Usefulness for holidays – off road, game reserves etc.
The report also noted that South Africa’s HNWIs have clear favourites when it comes to brands – with Porsche the most popular brand when it comes to revenue earned in South Africa, followed by Ferrari and Bentley.
This has been bolstered by the fact that South Africa has seen a number of new high-end releases in 2018 – including the new Bentley Mulsanne and the Ferrari GTC4Lusso T.
In June LSM Distributors were also awarded distribution and servicing rights for Lamborghini in South Africa – meaning it is possible to pick up the Aventador S Roadster and the Urus SUV in the country.
While it is impossible to account for every individual dealer (and the fact you can import nearly any car for a high enough sum), BusinessTech looked at the some of the most expensive cars in South Africa right now.
