With London being one of the international supercar capitals, the local police officers have to deal with tons of high-octane problem on a daily basis and don't imagine that such issues magically disappear during the cold season.
And we're here to bring you the latest such episode from the British capital city, one that involves a mighty Porsche 918 Spyder.

The first video below allows us to see the 918 (the one wearing Kuwait plates, as there are two 918s in this clip) getting pulled over by the London Police.

And while we don't know the reason for which the officers decided to have a chat with the driver of the gas-electric Zuffenhausen machine, it seems like their discussion lasted long enough to cause some serious stress for the man in the hypercar.

Such supercar- and hypercar-related episodes are obviously a global first world problem

However, you shouldn't imagine that only areas such as London, Dubai or Beverly Hills, which have a ridiculously high supercar population density, are prone to such issues.

In fact, to illustrate that point, we've brought along a second video. This takes us to Germany, where the local Cars and Coffee event held last weekend generated quite a stir.

Around noon on Sunday, the supercars started leaving the event and, since they had to go through a tunnel, their drivers decided some high-revving aural action was required.

With spectators entering the tunnel on foot in order to enjoy the decibel show, the whole situation started to get out of hand. Eventually, this determined the local police to take action, with the officers shutting down the tunnel until the event was over.

Oh well, at least nobody was hurt in the Dusseldorf episode mentioned above, which you can find in the video at the bottom of the page.
