Sports cars are very popular in various car communities in Africa. Over the past couple of years, new models have replaced the old ones, and some classic legends have been redesigned. There are also various concepts that have been introduced but one thing seems to remain the same. Even if trends keep changing, the best-sellers that top the list of the most popular sports cars remain the same. Here are the top three.
Ford Mustang
Ford Mustang gained an iconic status, perhaps because of pop culture. But aside from this, it is also one of the most affordable sports cars to date, being able to keep up with other sports cars worth twice its price. Aside from this, it is also a viable option for most Africans because it can handle sudden maneuvers, heavy traffic, as well as challenging road and weather conditions. The Mustang has seen many design changes of the years but has kept the premise of a large V8 engine and the long bonnet that can be customised with air scoops and paint.
Audi R8
Another popular sports car in Africa is Audi, particularly along coastal roads, where a convertible roof will surely guarantee a remarkable ride. However, you need to prepare a very hefty sum of money to own an Audi R8 that is capable of speeding at 318kph because of its 5.2-liter V10 engine. This upgrade is a long way from the engines of the pioneer vehicles manufactured in the past as you can see in this video from Compare the Market Australia that shows the innovation made to sports cars throughout the decades. To make sure that you spend years with an Audi R8, make sure that you keep up with its regular maintenance schedule.
Porsche 911
Porsche is timeless and one of the most iconic cars in history. Falling a bit behind the top speed of Audi R8, it will still be surely a memorable experience to drive a Porsche 911 around the Boland Area of Cape Town. In this case, you will be able to traverse bends and corners with ease with gear changes that are incredibly slick. The best part is that you will have the convenience of leveraging its digital technology and push-buttons. Just keep in mind to keep the paint of your car in mint condition to uphold its look. It is also necessary to maintain its interiors by cleaning the seats regularly or avoiding the habit of eating inside your vehicle.

To wrap things up, the sports cars listed above are only some of the most popular brands in Africa. Other brands such as the Ferrari 488, Mercedes-Benz SLC 200, or the BMW Z4 follow closely behind. Regardless of the brand of the sports car that you eventually go with, the important thing is to exert the extra effort to maintain it to ensure that you will be able to enjoy it longer.
