Trevor Nyakane captioned, “Thank you to Ford Umhlanga for these new wheels and keeping me on the road back here in SA @stevebolleurs.”
However, judging from his caption, many were more than convinced that this was an endorsement deal. Over the years, several rugby players have scored endorsements and ambassadorial deals with automobile manufacturers, including Mercedes-Benz and Ford.
Cheslin Kolbe and Siya Kolisi are some of Mercedes-Benz’s Friends of the Brands, and they often get some of the latest rides from the German automaker as part of their endorsement deals.
Petrolheads have since given Trevor Nyakane’s car a nod, but they quickly included its price tag. The car has a base price tag of R1.6 million in several dealerships nationwide.
OTHER HOT WHEELS
Despite being one of the most followed Springboks stars, Trevor Nyakane has managed to keep his private life under wraps. His cars are little known, but Trevor Nyakane has been spotted with some of the world’s finest whips.
He once shared a photo with his rumoured Range Rover Sport. Additionally, Trevor Nyakane hogged headlines last year when he was spotted with an RTR Ford Mustang. RTR cars are the brains of an American automotive company founded in 2009 by Vaughn Gittin Jr.
They have several lines on the market, and the least priced costs around R1.5 million on the South African market. Despite Nyakane not revealing the model, Mzansi was more than convinced it was the Series 1 Ford Mustang with an R2 million price tag.
