Herbie VW Beetle with Hotlap & Movie Car Options

What Can I Expect

Meet Herbie the movie car! Drive a faithful replica of the famous ‘Love Bug’ VW Beetle - with the possibility of throwing in drives in another couple of instantly recognisable motors from the big screen too!

Herbie. What a car. This amazing Volkswagen Beetle was born in 1963. He wasn’t like the other Beetles. Herbie could drive himself. The little VW was full of energy, cheerful and cheeky, as he loved to play practical jokes on people. Ok, he couldn’t actually speak, but he certainly knew how to communicate and make himself heard.

Starring in movies from the original ‘The Love Bug’ to ‘Herbie Rides Again’, ‘Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo’, ‘Herbie Goes Bananas’ and the modern ‘Herbie: Fully Loaded’, this characterful car appeals to generations of film fans.

This is your chance to drive a faithful facsimile of the loveable little Herbie. Right down to those bug eyes, the red and blue racing stripes and the number 53 roundels, this Herbie looks the business.

We won’t bother giving you the stats of this car, because how fast Herbie goes from 0-60mph isn’t the point. It’s all about taking this unique car for an entertaining spin around the track. The original VW Beetles are true classics and really quite different from anything else you’ll have driven.

If you want to add a bit more movie magic to your experience, you can add a drive in a ‘General Lee’ Challenger and/or a ‘Bumblebee’ Camaro. The 6.1l V8 Dodge Challenger is a superb modern version of Bo and Luke Dukes’ 1968 Charger. And the Chevrolet Camaro is giving off those very cool (and bright yellow!) Transformer vibes.

All experiences also include a hot lap in a rear-wheel drive MX5 (enormous fun!). A great way to round off the day you drove a Herbie movie car!
