From my limited experience in Chinese society, I'd think supercar buyers there tend to be of modest, rural backgrounds. There is no more obvious way to show off the new wealth and gain face back in the home village than drive your Ferrari righ up to the parents porch.

People born and bred in Shanghai hide their wealth, as do many older rich Chinese. And not just from their peers but also the tax office.
