Supercar Capitals of the world

I've always been torn on where is the best place to see the most exotic supercars. Nowadays you've got many different budding automotive photographers, with Youtube pages and websites. These guys, 'carparazzi' as they are known, are everywhere. All over capital cities or anywhere where's likely to be a sighting of a super or hypercar. So this post is to look at the supercar capitals of the world.

London:
Starting off,  one of the biggest supercar cities is right here in the UK. London is all over Youtube, with entire channels based on the hot cars that kick about in the city. What's more, during a few months in the Summer each year, an event as what's been infamously known as the Ramadan Rush, where very wealthy men and women from the Middle East flock to London with their expensive supercars to enjoy the cooler weather during the Summer months.

Hotspots for supercars:
Sloane Street
Knightsbridge
Mayfair
Park Lane
The Berkeley Hotel




Dubai
Dubai comes into a league of it's own when it comes to supercars. And what happens when these hot cars break the law? Well, naturally, the police drive the likes of Aventadors and Ferrari FFs to keep up with them. Dubai even set a Guinness World Record for having more supercars participating in a parade during UAE National Day that went on last week. Dubai set the record for having 58 luxury cars participating in a parade over 3.2km. 


Lets also not forget about the Top Gear episode that featured the Mercedes 6x6 in Dubai. The episode showed some of the most outrageous cars i've ever seen! Dubai is full of oil wealthy Sheikhs, amongst luxury hotels that have fleets of Rolls Royces and Bentleys.


Hotspots for supercars:
Outside Dubai Mall
Outside expensive hotels

Monaco
Monaco has got to be on every car enthusiasts bucket list. Filled with the wealthy, some of them even F1 drivers, and combined with the Yachts and weather, Monaco certainly has the luxury lifestyle, and with this lifestyle come some gorgeous supercars.



Hotspots for supercars:
Casino Square
Fairmont Hotel
Either entrance to the tunnel

Marbella
Almost like a smaller Monaco, Marbella has recently become a hotspot for supercars, with even top gear driving three supercars through the port during one of the episodes during last season. Marbella has more supercar rental companies than any other place that i've ever been to. 

Hotspots for supercars:
Puerto Banus


Zurich
Perhaps the least likely candidate to be full of supercars, being no way near the sea, but Zurich in one of the major financial powerhouses and of course has the salaries that come with it. Naturally, the men and women of Zurich feel it necessary to purchase a fine supercar to drive to work in. Zurich is named to be one of the best supercar spotting cities in the world. Certainly on my list of places to go to see the cars. There are no specific places to spot supercars however, as they are all over the place!
