Connie Ferguson speaks on her love for super fast cars

South African actress and entrepreneur Connie Ferguson recently shared her passion for cars in an interview with Channel Africa,  TheUpside team, adding another intriguing dimension to her multifaceted personality.

In conversation with Nompumelelo Ngubeni and Mpho, the actress says that she fell in love with fast cars because her father was a motor mechanic.

Connie was spotted with passion in her eyes saying, “I just love the power, I just love the roar of the engine.” She added that there is something about the sound a car makes when you start it, that excites her.

Connie’s passion for cars does not only reflect her personal interests but also underscores her appreciation for the thrill and technical expertise behind driving super fast cars.

Beyond her acting and entrepreneurial endeavours, the actress has an adventurous side.

It should not be surprising that the gym fanatic has a sense of exploration as she recently shared multiple fun activities like riding a 4 wheeled quad bike on Instagram. It’s safe to say, she is quite daring.
