Ferrari Portofino - Test Drive in Maranello

Experiência Top! Vale muito a pena para quem gosta de carros e sonha em dirigir uma Ferrari! Com atendimento em português.

Une heure sur les routes de montagne... Exceptionnel puisque le moniteur nous laisse conduire avec la philosophie italienne...Que du bonheur. A faire et à refaire. Ne pas hésiter et prenez le circuit Mountain. Après vous pouvez dire que vous avez conduit une Ferrari et pas seulement essayé.

As someone who knows for sure he will never own a Ferrari I wanted to at least have the opportunity to get behind the wheel of one. Very good email communication with Samantha, she provided all the info I requested and responded to all my questions. In the end I opted for a 20 minutes tour with a Portofino (because it had a back seat so that my wife could also participate). For my peace of mind I also bought a 50€ insurance (in order to eliminate any excess), but you can also opt for 20€ which reduces the excess to 3000€ or 30€ which would reduce the excess to 2000€. We arrived on our scheduled day, took some photos and after a short briefing we were on our way. My instructor was really nice, excellent English skills, provided clear instructions and additional info when required. Even though I normally drive a car with manual gearbox, I adapted quite quickly to the automated gearbox (which can also be switched to a semi-manual mode where you can shift gears using the paddles). The 20 minutes came and went in a heartbeat. The weather was foggy and rainy and, due to this and heavy traffic, I only had two or three opportunities to floor it, but that's when you actually get a feel for what the car can do. Nevertheless, I wasn't disappointed at all, walked off with a great feeling (and bragging rights for driving a Ferrari ;). As thrilled as I was, I also ended up buying the 360 video as well (which you can post-process, cut the way you want using the dedicated GoPro app). But they also let you film and take photos in the cars where a passenger is allowed. Would I recommend PushStart? Definitely! Would I do it again? Not this exact ride, I would try to shell out more and go to a race track. But, for a first experience, I'm positive you won't regret it.
