LivTours is a fan of fast luxury cars, so we are very proud to offer you this unforgettable private Ferrari experience! This is the perfect, made in luxury car heaven, experience for car enthusiasts from around the world.

Driving a Ferrari in Italy, in the birthplace of Ferrari and Lamborghini, is an unparalleled experience and perfect for car lovers. Allow yourself the luxury of driving one of Ferrari’s most exciting sports cars, the sleek Ferrari California.  Your test drive can be a 10 minute city drive or a two hour drive through the Italian countryside – the choice is yours.   

The Ferrari California was first publicly showcased at the Paris Motor Show in 2008 with seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and a folding metal roof; it certainly caused a splash. The most recent model of the California family is the Ferrari California T Series, which was publicly unveiled in 2014.

Now it is your chance to feel that luxury firsthand. If you are a Ferrari lover, you will want to not only visit Maranello, but have an authentic Ferrari experience in the land where it all began.

Your LivTours Drive a Ferrari in Italy Experience starts in Maranello where you will meet your professional driver who will be your copilot during your test drive. Once you feel  comfortable in this powerful vehicle, you can throw some caution to the wind and let that foot sink into the ground.  Hold on to your hats as you soar from zero to sixty in approximately four seconds (yes, just 4!).

During your test drive an internal go-pro camera will be filming you taking those exciting turns and speeding along through the countryside.  Before you leave Maranello, you’ll receive a link to a recording of your drive as seen by an internal camera on the dashboard. Certainly an unrivaled souvenir to take home with you and share with friends!  There really is no better way to commemorate your visit and share this once in a lifetime experience.

After you have finished your Ferrari California test drive, you get up to 15 minutes in a Formula 1 Simulator, the same kind that is used by professional F1 drivers in training. This virtual reality experience will give you a great sense of how pro Ferrari drivers feel while roaring around race tracks.

Up to two other passengers can be booked in with you (see additional costs below) for your Drive a Ferrari in Italy Experience. The two available seats are in the back of the Ferrari California, making this a great option for those traveling with a family who have a serious need for speed.
