In the first 6 months of 2013, the United Kingdom of Britainland has become Europe's biggest buyer of Ferraris - surely you'd think it was Italy? - and the only nation stopping us being their biggest market of all is you lot, with your 314 million people vs our ~63 million.
According to !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , British rich folk bought 415 Ferraris (with the 458 Spider selling the most), whereas previous Euro chart-topper Germany only bought 388 and China - who have been finding other things to spend money on recently, it seems - only bought 350 in the first half of this year.
Ferrari's net profits for the half-year stood at €116.2m (£101.2m or $154.2m) with revenues up seven per cent to €1.2bn on deliveries of 3767 road cars.

Italy is too busy burning scientists and jailing PM's to buy Ferraris.

China is buying Rapors, I read in a way that it is more of a status symbol than a ferrari, because large trucks are so rare there.

Huh, I really thought Dubai would have had the US licked regarding Ferrari sales.
Live and learn.

Maybe they're buying up the last Bugattis.

63 million people in UK vs 2 million in Dubai. The majority of which are building everything or cleaning all the hotel rooms. I would imagine that they are at the top of the list per capita but overall not so much.
