South Africa.<\/p>\n<p>This is according to New World Wealth&#8217;s latest South African Wealth Report, which found that South Africa\u2019s HNWIs currently favour luxury SUV&#8217;s because of the space they offer as well as their security features.<\/p>\n<p>However the country&#8217;s ultra-rich are still buying sports cars according to the report, with Porsche the most popular brand when it comes to revenue earned in South Africa, followed by Ferrari and Bentley.<\/p>\n<p>With the cheapest Porsche coming in at just under R900,000 (R870,000 for the Porsche 718 Cayman) its clear that many of these high-end vehicles are exclusive to the super-rich, however there are still a number of options for South Africans who don&#8217;t have several million rand to drop on a high-end sports car.<\/p>\n<p>Below BusinessTech looked at six sports cars you can buy in South Africa that won&#8217;t break the bank.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Mazda MX-5 2.0 RF auto
