Ferrari 458 Spider Road Test Drive

A huge thank you to the entire Pitlane Maranello team for their wonderful welcome!!! I had booked two tours in the hills ("Hills"), one for my son and a second for my husband, simultaneously. An F8 Tributo Spider and a 458 Spider. After 15 minutes, my son and my husband were able to swap their Ferraris to test out these two speed machines. The two co-pilots were super nice to my two men, who were thrilled with their little ride (too short, ha ha!!). The organization was handled efficiently; we showed up 10 minutes before the scheduled time for the little briefing and off we went! The entire Pitlane team was wonderful from start to finish. A very beautiful experience, to be repeated if we pass through Maranello again ;-)! It was a birthday gift for my son's 30th, a great way to mark the occasion! Thank you Pitlane, you are wonderful!!

Great ride. The driver that rode with me was courteous and helpful. He made it a fun experience.

Such a great experience , ticked the bucket list. Went for the 458 spider and for 30min. Paying the extra money was worth it as we got lots of open road with opportunities to let the 458 do its work. Francesco was such a great guide, he ensured I had lots opportunities to unwind and experience the best of the car. He was friendly and helpful and aimed to ensure I had fun. He explained the area and building especially around the Ferrari factory, track etc. I initially was planning to do the 20min but 30 was great, there’s was only a little local traffic and sitting behind cars until we got to the longer roads outside the city where I had the chance to go flat out . The shorter 20min would not have given me this chance I’m sure. Bought the video too and was worth it , got a mini clip and then the full 30min which is worth it as I can relive the whole experience. Thanks to my wife for this great early Father’s Day gift if you love cars , driving and Ferraris , this is a must do. Tip: I got there early 10:30am , didn’t have a booking, no one around so I got the car I wanted and had time to do a little photo shoot before leaving for the drive : there was no rush. Worth it . Then went to the museum next door.

MUST BOOK! Massive thank you to Gian Marco and the whole Pit Lane Red Passion team. I was visiting Maranello for the day. Coming from Australia. From the very first interaction, from booking online to handing back the car, it was brilliant. The team made us feel very welcome. Gian my co-driver was incredible - allowed me to push the car as hard as I wanted to through the beautiful italian hills. Felt like a chase scene from a movie. The car ran perfectly and left me with a desire to buy one, or at the very least, return to Pit Lane to drive it again. A day I will never forget. Thank you so much.

Fantastic experience with Italo! Highly recommended.

Unique experience and formidable team!

Fun time and nice group. I came about 10 minutes early and that wasn't a problem, we got going after final payment I took the 20 minute ride, you basically stay in town as 10 minutes each way isn't too far and they are down the street from the Ferrari museum so it's an urban environment for the first 5 plus minutes. Got on a 2 lane road just outside of town, instructor had me go slow to build a gap then hammered the throttle from 30 mph to about 86 mph (140 plus km). did that about 4 times, 2 each way. If I did it again I'd opt for 30 minutes or more to get out of the urban area. Nice instructor, staff was friendly. Not sure the 30 euro picture package is worth it, get you spouse or friend to snap some free pictures!!

I was given this wonderful experience as a birthday present by my girlfriend. It was pure adrenaline. Thanks to Italo who knew every little detail of the car perfectly and it was a perfect ride for all 30 minutes.

This was an amazing experience and would highly recommend. Especially here. The staff was amazing and super friendly and driving a ferrari through town is on another level. Definently would recommend and i will be coming back. Their store front is great with a many options and they have simulators as well.

My husband had a great time driving this Ferrari around the country roads of Maranello. He got to push the car pretty hard and see what it could do! The driver who rode along with him was professional and let my husband drive without intervening. My husband enjoyed talking with him during the drive. The car performed just as expected and the full 30 minutes plus a little extra was given. Only minor negative - we thought the staged photography at the beginning of the drive was a little hokey when you are paying $400 to drive a car.
