Invasion Of Super Cars In London
Posted by Apellini Tartellano in Uncategorized, tags: automotive, autos, cars, other, Uncategorized, vehiclesThe cities of London and Knightsbridge are center stage when it comes to showcasing some of the world’s most exclusive and exotic luxury cars. During the summer months you can spot amazing rides like Rolls Royces, Maybach’s and even Bugatti’s in full effect. It’s not unusual to see ten or more exotic cars cruising the streets in a row. These cars are owned by wealthy Arabs who like to bring their cars along when they travel. It is estimated to cost around $30,000 in order to have a car shipped to London and shipped back to the Gulf.
Most of the cars sport incredible paint jobs; you’ll see cars that are hot pink, baby blue, bright yellow and fiery red. London has surpassed Monte Carlo and Monaco as the exotic car capital of the world. Even though these cars can easily reach speeds of over 200 mph, many end up being driven in first gear due to gridlock traffic.
The foreign license plates are proving to be a big problem for English authorities since their ticket scanners are unable to interpret foreign signs. As a result, it’s rather difficult for the cops to issue tickets to drivers when they break traffic laws. One of the most infamous citations issued was to a baby blue one million dollar Koeningsegg and a Lamborghini, both owned by the royal Qatari family. Both of these cars were clamped and ticketed for parking illegally in front of Harrod’s, an exclusive department store, despite the fact that the royal Qatari family recently purchased Harrod’s for two billion dollars. Numerous videos can be found online of passerby’s looking on as the supercars got the boot.
Most of the cars have license plates from the UAE and a Qatar while a few are from other Middle Eastern countries including Iraq.
Some residents of the upscale Knightsbridge area have complained about the constant noise of these super cars which go on until the wee morning hours. Others enjoy the excitement of the exotic motorcade and welcome the hundreds of millions of pounds that these wealthy visitors inject into England’s economy.
