The Experience

You arrive at the start location in front of the Ferrari Museum with your valid driver's license in hand. A professional instructor meets you there and walks you through the car: an 8-cylinder GTC4 Lusso with a sequential rear gearbox and 560 horsepower waiting to move. The instructor sits beside you for the entire drive, guiding you through the handling and the routes. You control the car on scenic roads that loop through Maranello and its surrounding countryside, passing the Ferrari Factory and the Wind Channel if you choose a city route, or pushing into open roads with the roof down if you book a longer session.

Sessions run from 10 minutes up to 2 hours, so you can fit this into a free afternoon or make it the centerpiece of your day. Fuel is included in the price. If you want to bring passengers along, up to two extra people can ride with you for an additional fee. The car carries a video camera, so you can purchase a recording of your entire drive to take home. A souvenir that lets you relive the engine sound and the road. A photo of you in the driver's seat is also available to buy before you start.

The activity runs year-round except December 25–26 and January 1, and it does not operate if snow or ice covers the streets. You'll need shoes suitable for driving and a steady hand on a manual sequential box. English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and two additional languages are available with the professional instructor.

Is this one for you?Book a short 10- or 15-minute session if you want to test a Ferrari without a large time commitment and still see the factory from the road. Choose 30 minutes to an hour if you want real time to feel the car's power and handling on open roads, and pick 90 minutes or 2 hours if you're comfortable on a manual box and want to explore the full range of routes around Maranello with the roof down.
