‘The cost of living might be up, but so is the spoiler on that Lamborghini blasting past your local Aldi.‘
The economy’s wobbling, the millionaires are fleeing, and taxes are biting… yet somehow, Britain now has more supercars than ever.
Ferraris, Lamborghinis, and Bugattis are multiplying like Monaco-on-Thames.
Why?
When the world goes sideways, some people buy gold, and others purchase something with a V12 and launch control.
Here’s why the UK’s supercar obsession isn’t slowing down anytime soon.
The Story:
♔ 2019/20:
Bugatti count: 125.
McLaren count: over 3,000.
Koenigsegg’s: 8
♔ 2022/23:
One Koenigsegg left the country and probably decided Surrey wasn’t quite Monaco.
♔ June 2024:
Total UK supercars hit 23,323, up 4% in a year of high taxes and high interest rates.
Ferraris: 14,714 (up 3%).
Lamborghinis: 5,421 (up 8%).
McLarens: down by nine cars to 3,045.
Meanwhile:
Over 9,500 millionaires pack their bags and leave.
Why?
Supercars are now treated like alternative assets—hedge against inflation.
Some buy gold. Others buy a V12 with scissor doors.
♔ The Big Picture
Higher taxes? Rising rates? Doesn’t matter.
Britain’s wealthy are still very much on the throttle.
Because honestly, what’s the point of a financial apocalypse if you can’t turn up in a lime-green Lambo?
‘We may have lost 9,500 millionaires, but judging by the traffic in Knightsbridge, their cars didn’t get the memo.’
