This driving experience is all about one of the very best Ferrari ever made - the 458 Italia. To look at, it's obviously a Ferrari but ultimately looks ultra modern. As you would expect from Ferrari, the 458 Italia is a technical tour de force that results in a driving experience that rewrites the supercar rule book.
No words can properly describe the feeling you get when driving the Ferrari 458. It is quite simply unbelievable.
Out on track the car just gets better. Hit the throttle in any gear and the car takes off immediately. Once up to speed the car has so much grip.
As part of the Ferrari 458 Spider driving experience, guest will have a chance to learn the race circuit with an ARDS qualified race instructor initially as a passenger and then driving the Alpine A110S. It's a fantastic sports car that out performs other more expensive machinery. A great car that gives the driver lots confidence behind the wheel.

The Ferrari 458 Spider is a technical marvel. The mid-engined V8 produces an astonishing 462bhp and 398 lb/ft of torque. Put simply this means it accelerates very quickly and has a top speed of over 200mph! The 458 also has Ferrari's latest dual clutch system which is simply brilliant.
The Alpine A110S adds some subtle changes to the already brilliant A110. An extra 39bhp and taking power to 288bhp. The anti-roll bars are 100 per cent stiffer than the standard car, and the springs 50% firmer with the dampers re-tuned to match. The car sits 4mm lower and the tyres are wider. The result is an already brilliant car, turned up to 11!
