There is an invasion of Supercars in London this August. The cars have been brought over by wealthy guys and girls from the Middle East who make the trip to London every year to hang out and do some shopping.
They bring with them a variety of supercar models to parade up and down the high class streets of West London.
To join in the fun get a quote to hire a supercar in london or other European city by contacting out reservation team.
The most outrageous car to make the trip over this time around is the Mercedes G63 AMG, an enormous £370,000 off-roaderwith not four but SIX wheels.
A 220mph Pagani Huayra, worth more than £1million, has also attracted attention from tourists and passersby.
There is a gold Range Rover, various Rolls-Royces, Lamborghinis and Ferraris, numerous Bugatti Veyrons and a 1970s Datsun.
The rich Arabs stay in the best hotels and empty their wallets in London’s most expensive shops, but they also cause problems with their unique supercars.
Residents in affluent Knightsbridge have complained they are behaving anti-socially, revving the cars and treating the exclusive area as their personal racetrack.
Panda Morgan-Thomas, a management consultant, said: ‘I am not angry. I am just exhausted.
‘They are again racing down Sloane Street from late afternoons until 3 or 4 in the morning. (sounds like fun :))
‘We honestly thought we had made progress but it seems as though local residents are in for another sleepless August.’
The flash holidaymakers, predominantly from Saudi Arabia and Qatar, arrived in London around a week ago, and a number of the supercars have already been spotted with parking tickets, while others have been driving around with incorrect registration plates.
But despite residents dreading ‘The Season’, there is one group of people salivating at the supercars and leaping to the defence of the drivers – the Carparazzi.
When the wealthy Arabs arrive in London, car enthusiasts show up with their cameras to film and photographer the million-pound motors.
Paul Wallace, who runs the YouTube channel Supercars of London, played down their bad behaviour.
He said: ‘August always proves to be the best time of year for petrolheads to see their dream machines on the road.
Supercars swamp Knightsbridge
‘Having seen the change in driving styles and cars, I still can’t believe the police presence and residents kicking up a fuss.
‘For four weeks out of 52, these super-wealthy individuals come and pump millions of pounds into the UK economy.
‘Not only that, they fulfil many car fans’ dream by bringing super rare Bugatti Veyrons, or special edition Paganis.
‘I feel sorry for these guys coming here with their expensive toys as they get harassed by police.
‘I have been filming all summer and rarely see them drive more than 25 per cent throttle, or make any noise at all.
‘I don’t see why the residents of Knightsbridge don’t use this influx in foreign cars as an excuse to go on holiday and escape one of the busiest, loudest cities in the world for a couple of weeks of the year.’
