The 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.

London cops are a bit annoyed by the cars since their traffic scanners can't decipher Arabic license plates As a result, it's rather difficult for the cops to issue tickets to drivers when they break traffic laws. However, that doesn't mean that they don't get pulled over. There are lots of videos on Youtube that show some of these exotic cars getting clamped with a boot, getting towed and pulled over.

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.
