Supercar owners in Kensington and Chelsea could have their vehicles seized as part of a new police clampdown on dangerous driving.
On Thursday (July 7) Met police began using Dispersal Orders in the Brompton and Hans Town ward within the borough.
Under the orders, officers have the power to direct drivers suspected of having entered the area for "dangerous driving and anti-social behaviour" to leave the ward.
They can also check for insurance and driving licence offences, and spectators who film and encourage drivers to commit "reckless acts" can also be directed elsewhere.
Motorists who refuse to comply with police instruction may be arrested and their vehicles seized.
The orders will stop being used by police on Monday (July 11), but officers said they will review its effectiveness before deciding to implement the orders again.
On only the first evening (July 7), 13 dispersals were issued and seven fixed penalty notices were giving for offences relating to inconsiderate motor vehicle use.
Inspector Chris Downs, of Kensington and Chelsea Community Policing Team, said: "We are using powers under the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act in an innovative way in order to address the concerns of residents and visitors to Kensington and Chelsea.
"In previous years, there have been a large number of complaints during summer nights - especially at weekends - relating to anti-social behaviour and the late night noise nuisance caused by high-powered vehicles being driven in a reckless and aggressive manner.
"We are responding to these local concerns, and, since extremely rapid acceleration poses a particular danger to the public, we are determined to act before somebody is killed or seriously injured".
