Ferrari. The most powerful brand in the world synonymous with speed luxury and wealth. When you say Ferrari think of some of the most beautiful cars ever designed by legends such as Sergio Scaglietti and Pininfarina cars like the 250 GTO 250GT California and the 288 GTO to name just a few. Every Ferrari drive is special but this Ferrari 348 experience is legendary! This is your chance to drive one of the most iconic Ferraris there is. It holds an important place in the history of Ferrari cars and it's a real treat to have a pristine example out on the track for you.The phrase 'True Ferrari' refers to Ferraris designed under Enzo's reign the 348 along with the F40 were the last all new cars commissioned and overseen by Enzo and they closely followed the principles of the Enzo era Ferrari's. The 348 was also the final design overseen by chief stylist Leonardo Fioravanti of Pininfarina known for such designs as the Ferrari F40 Ferrari Daytona Ferrari 512 Berlinetta Ferrari 288 GTO and the Ferrari Testarossa. The 348 shares the same sense of style as the Testarossa. Those side air intakes are instantly recognisable with the lines flowing around to the rear of the car. Its a beautiful car and little wonder then that this car won 'Best in Show' when it was unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1989. The 348 is such an important car in Ferrari's history the last mid engined V8 that Enzo himself signed off. Drive a piece of history in this fantastic car.
Drive a 360 Modena and see if you can reign in this well-heeled prancing horse! Offered at the Bovingdon Airfield circuit near Hemel Hempstead you get your hands on this delightful Ferrari for 4 or 8 whole laps. Pure joy. When the 360 Modena was showcased at the 1999 Geneva Motor Show it divided opinion. The 'marmite' Modena was hailed as revolutionary by some and a bit 'meh' by others who considered it not a worthy successor to the seminal 355. The 360 Modena's harshest critics (including Clarkson) hated the new design. Gone were the pop-up headlights. Gone was the large front grille. In came a raised nose (to avoid those Ferrari on speed humps and car park entry ramp scrapes) and in came a new more simple design. These changes were not without reason. The new curvier design was all about aerodynamics with the 360 Modena boasting superb downforce helped by the fact that this Ferrari had the first all-aluminium body. It was also the first to have continuous damper control making i...

Let's get straight to the point - this experience gives you the chance to take a Ferrari on a test drive. Now there are many different Ferraris out there but the one you'll be driving is an F430. This is the car that re-launched Ferrari after the 360 and marks a whole new design period for the iconic Italian marque.Indeed the 430 has a completely new power plant; a 4308cc that gives it's numbers to the name. This is because Ferrari realised they needed more power so this Maserati-derived engine was the answer resulting in a very pleasing 483bhp at a wincingly high 8500rpm - hence the impressive noise from the exhaust!With the power sorted Ferrari's American designer Frank Stephenson concentrated on the style of the 430 looking in particular at the detailing. And that's what makes this car a true delight. Try and make time before or after your test drive to take in a couple of these little touches such as appreciating the nod to the Le Mans-winning Ferraris of the 1960s with the front bumper air intakes the retro Enzo-style rear lights and even the little twist of the car's name being engraved in the door mirrors.We think this car oozes discretion and class and controversially we think it looks even better when it's not in Ferrari red (although we hear dealers always make sure the 430s leave the showroom with a red Ferrari key fob!). You'll love the lower sleeker lines of this car and the overall more curvaceous and appealing form.So what's it like to drive? We won't spoil the fun for you as you'll be testing out this impressive Ferrari for yourself. Needless to say we don't think you'll be disappointed. And if you bring any friends and family along to the venues to watch there'll be no chance there'll miss this car out on the test track with that incredible engine noise all helped by that rather neat little flap on the exhaust that opens at high revs resulting in a proper sound-fest petrol heads will love! Enjoy your Ferrari test drive...
Anyone fancy driving a Ferrari F430? Yes we thought you would. In fact who wouldn't like to get their hands on one of these gorgeous Italian supercars? Each and every model is iconic and just oozes glitz and glamour and this is your chance to drive one of these head-turning F430s around a track.We must highlight that this operator's fleet includes a F430 Spider. No that doesn't mean it's got lots of legs that's the Ferrari name for a convertible version making this already lovely motor just that little bit more cool.So if it just happens to be a non-rainy day on the day of your test drive you'll be itching to press the button to automatically get the roof folded down into its little compartment above the engine bay. Not only do you get to seriously pose with your sunglasses on and the wind in your hair you also get a frontline spot for listening to that jaw-dropping burbling from the mid-mounted 4.3l V8 engine. Superb.In fact it's the engine that made this the replacement to the 360 stand out. It was a whole new power plant for Ferrari and with the six speed paddle shift style transmission fancy brakes and sleeker styling it was an instant hit when launched at the Paris Motor Show in 2004.Little wonder then that car fans can't wait to get their hands on the F430. What we like about this experience is that it's straight down to business with no lengthy classroom briefing it's all about getting you in the car and comfy whilst the instructor gives you the lowdown on what's about to happen and then just going for it!As you power off along the track make the most of your six miles driving this beast of a Ferrari. When you get the signal to turn back into the pit lane it's time to slow down the pace. As you come to stop just take a moment to listen to that lovely idling engine noise before it's ignition off.That's not the end of your Ferrari F430 experience though as you get to have another little look around the track albeit from the passenger seat this time as a highly experienced pro driver take you for a spin in a fully prepared saloon car.
