Post Supercars are king in Europe

If the most of the world is in an economic slump, who is buying all the supercars? Maybe it’s the Europeans. Evo is reporting that sales of exotic cars in the Europe are up 22.4 percent. The Audi R8’s sales have almost quadrupled, and Ferrari has sold more F430 in the first half of this year than some of the big sedans like the Jaguar XJ or the Lexus LS.

The only other car segment in Europe that is gaining ground currently is the ultra-small city car segment. So it seems that Europeans have their priorities straight – if you don’t go small, you go super.
