While the on-field battle between Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns in the MTN8 final promises to be an enticing one but off the field, who comes out on top in a battle of wheels?
While footballers in South Africa are renowned for their skills on the pitch, they also turn heads off of it whether it be because of their fabulous drip or their incredible cars.
Having said that, these are the players from Pirates and Sundowns with sets of wheels that stand out the most, making it impossible for us to miss them when they drive by.

Siyabonga Mpontshane
The veteran goalkeeper representing Pirates is not only included in the discussion for driving a Mercedes, but for also having his own name on his license plate, which is something cool on its own!
Mpontshane's A45 AMG is a sight to be marvelled at! The car is not only something that grabs your attention because of it looks, but it is also renowned for how well it performs!
It's perfect for a footballer, reminding them of how important good performances are.According to AutoTrader, getting your hands on one of these beasts could cost anywhere between R450 000 to over R500 000
Denis Onyango
The Ugandan shotstopper once demonstrated an insane amount of balance when he stood on his Mitsubishi Pajero Sport Aspire in an Instagram post. While his stability is very impressive, the car that he drives is equally spectacular.
The 4x4 boasts a 2.4-litre turbo diesel engine with an 8-speed automatic transmission and comes with 4 off-road modes available to the driver, including Gravel, Mud/Snow, Sand and Rock, according to the manufacturer's official website.
However, all of these good things at a fairly steep price. Getting your hands on a car like Onyango's could cost anywhere between R656 995 to R741 995 according to Mitsubishi's Midrand branch.
Thabang Monare
The beloved midfielder looks to be the owner of a beautiful Audi S3. Monare is renowned for being one of the drippiest footballers out there and his car will certainly compliment all of his outfits, no matter what he decides to wear.
The S3, according to AutoTrader, can cost someone who wants to get their hands on it around R550 000.
Surprise Ralani
Perhaps saving the best for last, Rolani's Mercedes-AMG A 45S with its bright yellow paint job coupled with dashing black stripes and fierce-looking black rims ensures that you will see him when he zooms pass.
But you may miss him when he does drive pass you because of the car's 4-cylinder that pushes out 415.71bhp. That lightning speed comes at a costly price, though, as anyone who wants to purchase it need to either have or be able to pay off over R1 million according to AutoTrader.
