I am rarely in London, but reading PH threads it becomes obvious that London is awash with very expensive and exotic automotive finery.

Which other world cities rival (or better) it for sheer exuberant supercar showmanship? I am guessing American and Arabian cities might rank highly, but where else?

I am based in Vienna, and supercars are not that common a sight.

Discuss.

I suspect Dubai would top most cities.

London is the only place I've experienced a Veyron come roaring past.

But then I haven't been to Monaco. Or Dubai

London, Monaco, Dubai and maybe even Moscow are awash with supercars.

Would have to agree on that, on the drive home today I saw countless Bentley Continental GT's, a few Astons, a Murci LP640 and a Ferrari 599 GTO

Zurich seems to have a good density. Probably depends what your measure is I guess? Supercars/head, Supercars/sq.mile?

Seriously if I was loaded, Aberdeen would be one of the last places that I would want to live in. Certainly somewhere with a bit more sun and roads that are more suited to exotic cars that countless potholes and speed cameras.

I would have thought Monaco would have quite a few exotics dotted about.

I visited Dubai prior to the credit crunch and it was awash with supercars, however from what I hear that may have changed a little now. By contrast i went to Monte carlo during/after the crunch and it was still full of them! whilst London has a lot of supercars I dont think it can match those two in terms of density (no of supercars as a proportion of the total no of cars)
