Since hitting the internet, Etzebeth’s car pic has revved up thousands of likes and comments setting Mzansi petrolheads into overdrive.
Fans are also having a blast speculating how his towering frame – Etzebeth is more than 2m tall – squeezes into the sleek machine.
Here’s what some had to say:
@colinr65: “Free trips to the moon and back with that beast!! 🚀🌔🔥🔥😍”

From Springboks Etzebeth to Mercedes-Benz brand ambassador Etzebeth
According to The South African, little is known about whether he owns the car or if it’s just a promo for Mercedes-Benz, a brand he proudly represents as an ambassador.
While Etzebeth has dazzled fans over the years with his Mercs, he’s kept his ownership status under wraps.
However, one thing’s for sure, his new ride is an absolute powerhouse, one of the most coveted C-Classes on the market, boasting impressive specs like a lightning-fast 0-100km/h in just 3.4 seconds.
With Mzansi connecting the dots and estimating the hefty price tag, The South African further reported that the car has a base price of R2.5 million at several dealerships nationwide. It seems that Etzebeth’s car game is as fierce as his tackles.
