Supercar season chaos as drivers race 60mph down posh London street and park on taxi ranks but ‘police fail t - The Sun

SUMMER supercar season is in full swing in the swanky end of London as millions of pounds worth of motors cause chaos on the capital's streets.

Pictures show dozens of powerful performance cars littering the upscale areas of Knightsbridge and Sloane Street.

Police did attempt to speak to some of the drivers but it seemed to very little effect

Along with the vehicles and their owners, hundreds of less well off petrol heads lined the streets as some sped down the road at speeds of up to 60mph.

Witnesses claimed the police seemed unable to stop the loud revving and illegal driving they saw in the posh part of town.

Allegedly only two officers appeared on the scene to attempt to deal with the errant drivers.

Flash cars were seen flouting the rules of the road parking up in residents spaces, on yellow lines and even in taxi ranks.

Bikers also got in on the action with one rider revving up his BMW motorcycle and burning rubber as fans looked on and filmed.

Boatloads of Bentleys, Ferraris and gilded G-Wagons were seen around the Royal Borough along with murdered out Lambos and Rolls Royces.

SUPERCAR SEASON

EVERY summer sees the streets of London filled up with some of the flashiest cars on the planet.

The hotter months see wealthy people from Arabic countries leave the unbearable temperatures of Middle Eastern countries to cruise around London.

Well-heeled Kuwaitis, Saudis and Emiratis tend to ship their cars over in the months leading to the summer so they're here when they arrive in July and August.

They'll sometimes pay as much as £20,000 for a return 3,000 mile journey.

One of the more baffling paint-jobs included matching marble effect on a Ferrari California and a Bentley Bentega.

Earlier in the summer it was revealed that several cars were revving at almost twice the legal limit for a car — 74 decibels.

One modified Ford Mustang was up to 126 decibels, roughly the same level as a rock concert.

And several cars tracked by a speedgun were found to be going almost 60mph, twice the 30mph limit.

Kensington and Chelsea Council wrote to the government asking for "acoustic cameras" which record motors' sound level and dole fines out accordingly.

But fines might not deter many drivers, as supercar owners are often seen flouting the rules around London and fork out for the penalties without taking any real damage to their hefty wallets.

The Sun Online has contacted the Metropolitan Police for comment.
