Exactly how many new Ferraris have been registered in South Africa in 2023 thus far? Let’s take a closer look at the sales statistics for the opening 5 months of the year…

It seems there’s always a market for exotic Italian machinery, regardless of any challenging economic conditions facing the country. So, we decided to take a look at exactly how many new Ferraris have been sold in South Africa over the first 5 months of 2023.

Scuderia South Africa, the Ferrari brand’s official local distributor, is one of the few supercar-makers that reports registrations to Naamsa, which means we have an accurate picture of just how many have been sold.

According to Naamsa figures, the Maranello-based firm has sold 15 units in South Africa year to date (up to the end of May 2023), with the 296 GTB (which kicks off at R6 804200) being the most popular model with 6 registrations. Interestingly, January 2023 was the Italian automaker’s best month in volume terms, when 9 of those 15 new vehicles were registered.

Four SF90 units have been registered in SA in 2023 thus far.

Next came the SF90 with 4 units (perhaps a mix of Stradale and Spider models?), followed by the 812 with 3 units (presumably GTS rather than Superfast models), the F8 with a single unit (either a Tributo or a Spider) and the 296 GTS likewise with just 1 unit.

Fascinatingly, there’s no sign of the nameplate that represents the entry point to Ferrari ownership, with zero registrations of the Roma coupé (nor the Roma Spider, though this convertible version was revealed as recently as March 2023) listed in Naamsa’s figures, despite a 2023 model currently being up for sale on the used market.

In addition, we found no evidence of any Purosangue units having been sold locally in 2023 thus far…
