Is this legit? Lamborghini test drives in Italy
Does anyone know anything about this?

Thinking of surprising my husband with a museum trip, factory tour, and test drive for his birthday during our trip to Italy, but when I read past questions on this, everyone seems to agree that test drives are no longer available. So is this company for real? Anyone with thoughts on it?

Price is not bad at all, considering.
A few years ago, I was in Modena on business.
Having dinner, the table next to me were a couple of young Brits who had just finished 2 days of driving at the Ferrari factory. This included driving, classroom and drivers showing them what to do.
They were really pumped up about the experience and kept gushing on and on. They told me the U.S. equivalent for the 2 days was $20,000 each.
Based on the attached, the equivalent cost for 2 days would be less than $9,000.

I've read about a similar (and maybe even the) driving school that you reference, and let's just say that is not in our budget! But for 70+ euros that my link references, I think it might be worth a trip to the museum, factory tour, and 10-minute test drive. I'm not joking when I say that driving for 10 minutes will probably be a major thrill for my husband!

Hi Caze 17,
I arranged a similar gift for my husband. Here's a summary of a tour we did in 2010 if you skip down to post #8.

He's still talking about it!
In the states we tried another company that offered 2 Lamborghini test drives and then some! Information is here: http://www.wcdriving.com/ We did the tour based out of New Jersey.

tcinct - Do you remember how much it cost for your husband to drive? How long was it? Was it on a track or the road? Did you have to arrange in advance?
VirginiaBeach - Do you see 369E listed somewhere on the link I referenced. I see 70+, which seems do-able, but definitely not 369!!

Hi caze,
The rental for the Ferrari F458 was 200 euros. The drive was with an instructor on the streets around Maranello for 20 minutes. The day we went we just walked over from the museum and arranged the rental.
The link to that company is

Here's some info about another rental company near the museum that may be helpful:

Hi Caze17,
I've been looking at this too and wondering if it's the real deal, I'm hoping to do it in September when I'm over there. The 369E that VirginisBeach is refering to is the option where you can do the drive around the track (1 lap as a passenger then 4 behind the wheel).

Hey again,
I just spoke to a friend of mine who did this last year (around September I think it was) with this company. She also said this is the company who do the test drives http://www.pushstart.it/en/test-driv...coupe-o-spider
There you can choose from Ferrari, Lamborghini etc
Hope this helps
Nic
