Johannesburg, South Africa – Grammy-winning DJ Black Coffee has once again proven he’s not just a king of the decks but a connoisseur of classic wheels. The 37-year-old superstar, real name Nkosinathi Maphumulo, recently turned heads by showing off his pristine 1988 Ferrari Testarossa, a timeless icon valued at over R3.7 million.
In a series of sizzling Instagram posts and Stories, Black Coffee cruised through Cape Town’s scenic streets, the Ferrari’s iconic wide rear wing and pop-up headlights gleaming under the Mother City sun. “Nothing beats the roar of a legend,” he captioned one clip, revving the 12-cylinder engine that pumps out 390 horsepower. Fans flooded the comments with fire emojis, calling it “peak Mzansi flex” and begging for a joyride.
This isn’t just any supercar— the Testarossa, famously featured in Miami Vice and Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, symbolizes 1980s excess and Italian engineering mastery. Black Coffee’s model, with its original red paint and low mileage, is a collector’s gem, appreciating in value amid a booming classic car market in South Africa. Experts estimate similar Testarossas fetch R3.5–R4 million at auctions like the Bonhams sale in Cape Town last year.
From township roots in Durban to global stages with Drake and Usher, Black Coffee’s journey mirrors the Ferrari’s comeback story. After a near-fatal 2024 travel accident, his resilience shines brighter. “Grateful for the wins, big and small,” he shared, hinting at more reveals from his enviable garage.
Mzansi car enthusiasts are buzzing—could this spark a vintage supercar trend? Black Coffee’s post has racked up millions of views, blending music, motorsport, and motivation. What’s next for the DJ driving South Africa’s luxury lane?
