Turki bin Abdullah’s fleet of gilded supercars has reportedly arrived in London, igniting a media frenzy.
The Saudi billionaire is said to be among several wealthy Middle Eastern visitors who commission shipping companies to deliver their exotic vehicles to Europe every year, according to the Daily Mail. Many vehicles are shipped as aircraft cargo, with delivery prices reportedly exceeding $30,000.
Instagram pictures show various high-end cars, all customized with matching gold-color vinyl wrap. The fleet appears to include a Porsche 918 Spyder, Lamborghini Aventador Roadster, Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG, Bentley Flying Spur and Rolls Royce Phantom Coupe, among others.
Car spotters reportedly travel from afar to catch a glimpse of Turki bin Abdullah’s collection and other supercars in London. One Instagram photo shows a cheetah sitting in the driver’s seat of the G63 six-wheeler.
Reportedly referred to by locals as the “Ramadan Rush,” the influx sometimes causes friction with residents. The DailyMail report associates the foreign visitors with new regulations that prohibit drivers from revving engines, racing, accelerating rapidly, sounding horns or other nefarious vehicular activity.
