Ferrari 488 Experience

What Can I Expect

Say 'B uongiorno' to the Ferrari 488 experience coming to a race track near you! We are offering three and six-mile drives in the 488 GTB at a large selection of tracks around the UK. Get ready on the paddle shifts, you're going 488 driving!

This is a stunning car. And if just looking at the 488 gives you goosebumps, imagine what the experience of driving one will do to you. It has a roaring 3.9l twin turbo mid-mounted engine that red-lines at 8000 rpm, giving a whopping 660 bhp. But bear in mind this 488 does about 24 miles to the gallon…

Of course, that figure depends on how you drive the 488. In our experience, wheel screeching around a track in this Ferrari will make that figure drop even more. Owning a car like this requires deep pockets. But on these sessions you're there purely to enjoy the sensations of driving this epic car, rather than worrying about service costs, thankfully!

Inside it's a veritable racing cockpit, designed with that F1 heritage in mind. Most of the controls are actually on the steering wheel - from the engine start button, to the lights and indicators. And there's no gearbox to worry about, it's a flick of the right paddle to shift up and the left paddle to shift down to move quickly and efficiently through those seven gears.

Described by the organisers of these track days as ‘beautiful beyond belief' and with car journalists hailing that twin-turbo V8 engine a veritable ‘masterpiece', this is one of the most coveted models from Ferrari's stable.

With a choice of three or six-mile Ferrari 488 experiences, operating at race circuits around the UK, something tells us you're going to enjoy your drive. So much so that you'll have trouble saying 'Ciao' to the 488 at the end of your experience.
