The experience
You arrive at the Ferrari Museum entrance in Maranello, where PushStart meets you. A professional instructor walks you through the car (a 600 hp Portofino with the power and sound of a real Ferrari), then hands you the keys. The routes vary by what you book: a 10-minute short run stays in the city streets where you pass the Ferrari Factory and Wind Channel, or you can stretch into the countryside for 30 minutes, an hour, or up to 2 hours with the roof down and panoramic views. The instructor sits beside you the whole time, not taking over unless you need guidance.
What you're driving is the car itself, not a simulator, not a track day with safety barriers, but a Portofino on the roads around its birthplace. The experience changes with the route you pick. A 20-minute run gives you enough time to feel the acceleration and handling without committing to a full afternoon. The 90-minute panoramic option takes you into the surrounding countryside where you can open the roof and drive longer stretches. The 2-hour Precision option is built for drivers who want to explore the car's capabilities on varied terrain. Fuel is covered. You just need a valid driver's license (international if you're not from an EU country) and shoes suitable for driving.
You can add a souvenir photo of yourself in the driver's seat before you start, and the car is equipped with a video camera so you can take home a recording of your entire drive to watch later. Up to two passengers can ride along as extra passengers if you want to share the moment. The activity runs year-round except December 25–26 and January 1, and is suspended only if snow or ice covers the roads.
