Ferrari & Lamborghini Driving Experience in Athens: Real Roads, Real Supercars

Drive a Ferrari F430 Scuderia Spider or a Lamborghini Gallardo on real roads around Athens, with a professional co-driver beside you the whole way. The experience lasts about an hour, starts with a full vehicle briefing, and follows selected scenic routes and highways rather than a closed track. Prices start from €98, and adult drivers need a valid driving licence.

What is the supercar driving experience?

It is a chance to take the wheel of an Italian supercar yourself, not just ride in one. After a briefing from professional racing instructors on the controls, the car’s performance and the safety rules, you drive on carefully chosen highways and scenic roads around Athens. A professional co-driver sits next to you throughout, guiding you and keeping things safe.

Driving on open roads gives you something a track cannot: the sound of a V8 or V10 echoing off the hills, real bends and real scenery, and the feeling of a supercar in everyday traffic.

Which cars can I drive?

• Ferrari F430 Scuderia Spider: 4.3 litre V8 with 490 PS at 8,500 rpm and 465 Nm of torque. 0 to 97 km/h in 3.6 seconds and a top speed of more than 315 km/h. The open roof lets you hear every gear change.
• Lamborghini Gallardo: V10 of 5.0 or 5.2 litres with up to 560 PS and all-wheel drive. 0 to 97 km/h in 3.7 seconds and a top speed of more than 325 km/h.

You choose your car when you book, subject to availability on your date. We confirm the car with your booking.

What happens on the day?

You meet the team at the starting point in Athens. The instructors walk you around the car and explain the controls, the gearbox, the brakes and the safety procedures. Once you are settled in the driver’s seat with the co-driver beside you, you set off along the selected route, building up confidence on the way. The whole session, including the briefing, lasts about an hour.

Family and friends are welcome to come along to the start and take photos of you with the car.

What are the requirements?

• Driving licence: adult drivers need a valid driving licence. Bring it with you on the day.
• Height: under 2 metres (6.5 feet).
• Weight: under 120 kg (270 pounds).

Insurance cover is included. An excess may apply if the car is damaged, and the co-driver will explain this before you start.

Is there an option for children?

Yes. The Kids Test Drive is for young people aged 7 to 18 and takes place on a go-kart circuit, with 5 laps. It is a good way for a younger family member to share the day while an adult drives on the road. Ask us for the details and price when you book.

Is it right for me?

If you have a licence and enjoy driving, yes. You do not need any racing or track experience: the briefing covers what you need, and the co-driver is with you every kilometre. It makes a strong birthday, anniversary or bachelor party gift, and suits car lovers visiting Athens who want more than a photo next to a supercar.

How does it compare with a track day?

• This experience: real roads, highways and scenic routes, a co-driver beside you, about an hour in total.
• Track day: closed circuit, lap times and higher speeds, usually far from the city.

If you want to feel a supercar on the kind of road you know, the road drive is the better choice.

When is the best time to go?

The drive runs throughout the year. Weekday mornings usually mean lighter traffic on the highways, and spring and autumn give the most comfortable weather for the open-top Ferrari. If we have to cancel for safety, such as heavy rain, you choose a new date or a full refund of your deposit.

How to get there from central Athens

The experience starts in the Athens area. We send the exact meeting point and directions when your booking is confirmed. Allow extra time to reach it in city traffic, and arrive a few minutes early for the briefing.
