No matter what state the South African economy is in, people are still going to have midlife crises.

Some will probably go for the Land Rover Defender, and set off on a cross-continental adventure in their new wheels. More power to you guys, but others want a curvy red model to zoom around town in.

According to the latest first-quarter sales figures from the National Association of Automobile Manufacturers of South Africa (Naamsa), Scuderia South Africa, who import the cars into the country, placed 17 orders during that time.

Over to Wheels24:

The importer of the Prancing Horse brand’s best-seller is the Portofino, a hard-top convertible GT model powered by a 3.8-litre V8 engine with 441kW and 760Nm…

The Italian sold four units of its ultra high performance 812 model. It’s powered by a mid-engined 6.5-litre V12 with maximum pegged at 718Nm. Wowzer!

The rest of the list contains the lightweight 488 Pista, 488 GTB and the Spider.

Wowzer? Is that a word we use now? OK, wowzer.

Here’s a handy infographic for those who care:

I wonder if this person has replaced their red Ferrari 488 Spider yet.

Yeah, so that’s about all the enthusiasm I can muster for a story about cars.
