PushStart – Warm-Up

Drove the 458 Spider. Got here too late at approx 1100, so there was too much traffic for the roads we went on. The co-​driver was wanting me to be more aggressive passing with on coming traffic. Great experience that I will enjoy again.

Test drove the new 458 Italia. Great experience. Service was good compared to the usual service in Europe. The person that went with me was a 2 time champion of the Ferrari challenge which always makes the experience more unique. Their store had lots of unique memorabilia that wasn’t offered at other stores.

While it may seem like an expensive experience, where else can you get to drive a supercar in the streets around the Ferrari factory? Where the co pilot says to open it up?
A Ferrari 458 Italia — 100 euros.
A Ferrari 430 Scuderia — 80 euros.
Honestly, well worth it!
The shop is cool with tons of history in it to buy. Cool things you won’t see elsewhere. And the. Of course the drive… with 6 different cars to choose from, including a Lamborghini Superleggera, the cars are cool since they video tape you doing it. And of course, the DVD is free and u get to take it to as a reminder of a super cool experience.
I totally recommend it!
If your an English speaker, ask for Pepe. Cool guy with very good English and he let’s you open it up!!!

The venue combines a Ferrari themed gift shop, with a wide selection of merchandise (official and non) related to the famous car brand that was founded and still hosts its headqaurter just two blocks away, and a car rental service that gives the opportunity to visitors to drive a Ferrari in the streets of Maranello. Drive is also filmed and recorded on a DVD to keep memory of the experience. Customers can drive, or simply sit as passengers next to a pilot. Test drive is pretty expensive, but after all it’s a unique experience!
