Ghana's ultra-wealthy have embraced the prancing horse. As of 2021, an estimated 10–15 Ferraris ply Ghana's roads—concentrated in Accra, with a few in Kumasi and Takoradi. Ownership signals membership in a tiny, visible elite.

The Ghana Supercar Context
- Import duties: ~100%+ CIF (cost, insurance, freight) — a $300K Ferrari lands at $600K+
- Registration: DVLA "VIP" plates common; some use diplomatic/UN plates (controversial)
- Fuel: 95/98 RON available at select stations (Shell V-Power, Goil Premium)
- Service: No official Ferrari dealer; specialist indies (e.g., Auto Piazza, German Auto) or fly-in technicians
- Roads: Accra's potholes, speed bumps, traffic make daily driving impractical — most are weekend/show cars
Broader Luxury Fleet
Ferraris sit atop a pyramid including Lamborghinis (Huracán, Urus, Aventador), Rolls-Royces (Cullinan, Ghost, Phantom), Bentleys (Bentayga, Continental GT), McLarens, Porsches. Estimated 50–100 supercars (>$200K) in Ghana total.
Cultural Note
Supercar ownership in Ghana attracts admiration and scrutiny—questions about wealth sources in a country with 24% poverty rate. Owners often showcase philanthropy (donations, scholarships) alongside cars.
