You put your foot down on the same roads where Ferrari was born.

A Ferrari California Turbo test drive in Maranello puts you behind the wheel of a road-legal supercar on the legendary roads around the factory where Enzo Ferrari's vision took shape. A professional instructor rides with you. Fuel and insurance are included. You choose the duration, from 10 minutes to 2 hours, and the drive is yours to command once the road is clear. Valid driver's license required. Minimum age 19 with three years of driving experience.

The Experience

This is not a simulator or a track day. You're driving a real Ferrari California Turbo on open roads, with a professional instructor in the passenger seat. The car responds to every input: the acceleration hits hard the moment you press the throttle, and the handling rewards precision. You control the pace and the line. The instructor is there for safety and guidance, not to narrate. The roads around Maranello are the ones Enzo Ferrari knew, winding through the Emilia-Romagna countryside where the factory still stands.

You pick the length of your drive when you book (anywhere from 10 minutes to 2 hours), so a quick lunch-break adrenaline hit or a full afternoon behind the wheel both fit. Fuel and insurance come with it, so there's no surprise at the end. The experience includes a visit to the on-site store if you want to pick up official Ferrari merchandise afterward. Free parking is reserved for you. Staff speak English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and several other languages, so communication is straightforward.

Bring your valid driver's license in its original form. A photocopy won't work. If you're not an EU citizen, you'll need an International Driving Permit as well. The minimum age is 19, and you need to have held a driving license for at least three years (EU citizens with licenses obtained before December 14, 2024 need only one year of experience). The drive is wheelchair accessible, and public transport stops are nearby if you're arriving without a car.

What’s included

• Professional instructor in the passenger seat throughout the drive.
• all fuel consumed during your session.
• comprehensive insurance coverage.
• free reserved parking.
• access to the on-site merchandise store.

Is this one for you?Book the 30-minute or 60-minute option if you want real time to feel how the car handles different road types and speeds. The 10- or 15-minute slots work for a quick adrenaline hit on a layover or between other plans. If you want the memory captured, add the GoPro video or photo package at checkout. The instructor can't record while driving, so these add-ons are the only way to get footage of yourself behind the wheel.
