There are more hypercars, supercars, limited editions, special editions and one-offs being launched than ever before. Where once their arrival would have been so mind-bendingly exciting that we’d have stuck them on posters to hang on the bedroom wall, now they are being launched so often that you could wallpaper the whole house within a month. Why so?

In simple terms, there are more rich people than ever before – and the very rich are richer than ever.
