This man was curious to see what reactions he would get if he took his Koenigsegg Jesko out for a spin through the streets of London.
The British capital may have a reputation for impressive cars, but it’s still possible to turn heads on the street.
YouTuber Ameerh Naran took his supercar for a drive through the streets of central London and chaos followed.
Would this be an experience to remember or one to look back on with regret?
London has a rich reputation for high-end supercars
London is truly a global city, renowned for its architecture, history, and much more.
And for many people, one of its greatest assets is its car scene.
The city is crawling with high-end supercars, from the infamous pink McLaren parked outside a luxury hotel to the Bugatti-Rolls-Royce billionaire sandwiches on the streets.
You’d think with all of these supercars on the streets that Londoners wouldn’t even give them a second look.
But as Ameerh Naran found out for himself, some cars still have the power to excite.
What happened when this man took his Koenigsegg Jesko out into London?
“The reason I’m able to afford cars like this is because I’m working hard… It makes it more of a special occasion when I finally get to drive it,” Naran said.
How did he fare driving his car out for a coffee run?
As he was driving through the streets, it was hard to miss people whipping out their phones for a photo.
“[The car] does get a lot of attention,” he conceded.
“I can bring excitement to people by owning cars like this.
“As much as it brings joy to myself, it brings joy to everyone else on the street, which is one of the great things about car ownership.”
That enthusiasm persisted for the rest of the video, as more people gathered around to film the car in action – or even as it was parked.
One man requested to ‘hear it rumble’, which Naran was also to happy to do.
While many people would find this level of attention to be hard to take, Naran was happy to give the public what they wanted.
“It was nice that we drove through London, because a lot of these car spotters come from early in the morning and they stay out all day in the hopes of seeing a nice car to photograph,” he said.
“I think it makes their day when I come out and they get to see my cars.”
Other cars in his collection included a Pagani Huayra Roadster BC, and a Pagani Utopia.
