    Immaculate South African-Owned Ferrari F50 Sold To A New Owner In The USA

    It is a sad day for petrolheads in South Africa but a celebration for local boutique dealership Prestige Marques after selling an immaculate Ferrari F50 to a collector in the USA.

    Prior to the car leaving our shores, there were just three examples of the very special car but this one was the most special of them all.

    It was originally imported and registered in SA by TAKMotors in 1996, the official Ferrari agent at the time. It enjoyed a pampered life until 2012 when it was sold to its second caretaker having only covered 4900 km in sixteen years. The second caretaker used it even more sparingly and only covered 520 km in ten years of ownership. Regardless of the distance covered the car received routine maintenance with no expense spared. Most notably being a service and fuel cell replacement in 2022. This example has the lowest mileage and is the most original of the three. Wearing its original tyres, accompanied by its flight case including an original soft-top roof that has never been used.

    The Ferrari F50 was built to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Ferrari. It featured an F1-derived V12 engine and was the only manual, V12 anniversary model built by Maranello. With a total production run of 349 units, it is one of the rarest Ferraris ever produced. In a digital world, the F50 is as analogue as they get. No power steering, no ABS, no traction control.

    Although the sale price will not be disclosed, we can confirm that this is the 2nd most expensive car ever sold in South Africa behind a McLaren F1 in 2020.

    We would like to congratulate our friends from Prestige Marques on concluding such a monumental sale and hope to see some images of this magnificent machine from Maranello from across the pond.

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

This thing packs a whopping 791 hp (590 kW) and 1,430 Nm of torque.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
