AJANG PAMER mobil mewah segera berlangsung di London, ketika para playboy tajir dari Timur Tengah mengendarai mobil seharga miliaran rupiah per unit memadati jalan-jalan utama di ibu kota Inggris.
Pistol start siap ditembakkan jelang ajang musim supercar di London, ketika kalangan jutawan Arab menghindari panas terik di Timur Tengah dan memilih memadati London dengan mobil-mobil mewah mereka.
Setelah Mercedes mewah diselubungi ribuan kristal Swarovski yang terlihat pada Senin, tampaknya sederet Ferrari, Lamborghini dan Maseratis memadati jalan-jalan Knightsbridge hari ini.
Kedatangan supercar menjadi acara rutin dalam beberapa tahun terakhir, ketika miliuner Kuwait, Arab Saudi, dan Uni Emirat Arab yang berusaha pamer bahwa mobilnya yang paling hebat dari sederet supercar.
Dua Ferrari F12 yang terlihat di Knightsbridge hari ini, termasuk Lamborghini Aventor, Pagani Huayra seharga Rp20 miliaran dan Porsche 918, yang terlihat diparkir di dekat Hyde Park, seperti dilansir MailOnline.
Mobil-mobil mewah milik para pria Arab kaya raya itu lebih banyak diparkir hingga musim panas, dan mereka menghabiskan waktunya di London pada Juli dan Agustus.
Meskipun kecepatannya melampaui mobil lain pada umumnya, banyak mobil jarang keluar dari lalu lintas London yang macet dan lebih banyak diparkir di depan Harrods dan butik mewah lainnya.
SUPERCAR SEASON gets underway as foreign playboys parade their flash motors on capital's most exclusive streets
The starting pistol has officially been fired on London's supercar season, when wealthy Arabs flee the scorching hot temperatures of the Middle East and cruise around the British capital in their ostentatious vehicles.
After a Mercedes covered in Swarovski crystals was spotted yesterday, Ferraris, Lamborghinis and Maseratis appeared to be pouring onto the streets of Knightsbridge today.
The arrival of the supercars has become a regular event in recent years, with rich Kuwaitis, Saudis and Emiratis seeking to out-do each other over who can own the most souped-up sportscar.
Two Ferrari F12s were spotted out in Knightsbridge today, as a well as a Lamborghini Aventor, a £1million Pagani Huayra and a Porsche 918, which were seen parked near Hyde Park.
The cars' Arabs owners traditional ship their cars over in the months leading up to the summer, so that they are here when they arrive in July and August.
But despite their dizzying top speeds, many of the cars rarely get out of the gridlocked London traffic and often spend much of the time parked outside Harrods and other luxury boutiques.
