The Setting and Location
The experience begins at a designated meeting point in Bucharest, where you’ll see the shiny Ferrari with a Supercar Experience flag fluttering in the wind. From there, the journey is all about feeling the raw power of this Italian masterpiece. Unlike racetrack rides, this adventure immerses you directly into the city’s vibrant atmosphere, allowing you to combine adrenaline with sight-seeing.
Bucharest’s broad boulevards and historic streets become your racecourse, and you’ll love the way the city’s architecture and lively streets add flavor to your high-speed ride. This contrast—luxury car on lively urban roads—is what makes the experience unique and memorable.
What You Can Expect During Your Drive
Once behind the wheel, you’ll notice how sensitive and responsive the Ferrari’s steering wheel and pedals are. This isn’t a heavy, detached control—it’s immediate, making you feel truly in command of the car. The advanced suspension and ceramic brakes give confidence whether you’re cruising down wide boulevards or navigating tighter turns.
The engine roars with 600 horses, and when you press the accelerator, you will experience fast acceleration that pushes you back into your seat, just as you’d hope from a supercar. Drivers have noted that the handling feels precise, even in an urban environment, thanks to the car’s engineering.
The Route and Scenic Highlights
While the exact route varies depending on your start time and traffic, the focus is on exploring the most beautiful parts of Bucharest. Expect to cruise past landmarks, busy streets, and leafy avenues that showcase the city’s charm. The views are a bonus—watching the city blur past as you accelerate is an experience in itself.
