A Ferrari valued at about £3.7m was among 90 vehicles seized by police during a weekend operation against antisocial driving in central London.
The Metropolitan Police said the vehicles, worth more than £8m in total, were taken in Kensington, Chelsea and Hyde Park between Friday and Sunday. Officers targeted uninsured, antisocial and dangerous driving.
The Ferrari Monza SP2 is one of 499 built by the Italian manufacturer and had been in the UK for a day when it was stopped, the force said.
The Met said the driver had been in the car for less than half an hour, held only a provisional licence and had no insurance.
