Supercar Season

[1][2][3] Many of the supercar owners visit London during the summer months of June, July and August to escape the heat in Arab states of the Persian Gulf and they transport their supercars with them, which is why so many Middle Eastern registration plates can be seen on the streets of London during summer months.

Supercar owners and car spotters both suggest more consideration should be shown for the phenomenon, saying that it brings wealth to the UK.

In July 2015, Kensington and Chelsea Borough Council launched a consultation to introduce new measures to tackle what it calls "the problem of supercars" in and around the Knightsbridge area as residents were complaining about excessive noise levels and anti-social behaviour.

As part of its consultation, the council says it will be looking to address "the issue of high-performance cars speeding in the streets, drivers revving engines and vehicles causing obstructions."

[6][7][8] Some car spotters suggest the real noise levels are actually being caused by UK residents in cheaper modified vehicles[citation needed].
