- Andy R0 contributionsParide Has PassionWow quite simply the most amazing experience ever imaginable. Many thanks to our brilliant host, Paride, his knowledge of the Ferrari GTC4 Lusso was fantastic. He really helped us get the most out of this beast of a car with his great personality along the way. You must book the mountain drive the twisting roads are made for Ferrari with breath taking views. The reception area is all about Ferrari with a fabulous theme. If you are thinking at booking a drive then look no further than the guys at Pit Lane Red Passion. Paride, thank you again for helping us fill our dreams.Written 8 November 2024
- dragonmed0 contributionsHighly recommended !!!!5/5 Brought my son who recently graduated from college and his roommate to Italy as a post graduation celebration trip. Contemplated what might be fun for a 22-year-old recent college graduate who had an affinity for cars to do in the Maranello area, and came up with test driving a Ferrari. My son‘s roommate is this company and we were exceptionally pleased with their professionalism and assuring that everything was in order prior to showing up for the test drive. The drive was as advertised 60 Minutes with a professional test driver to help coach the driver through the circuit. Once in a lifetime experience. I would highly recommend this company if you’re considering a driving experience when in the area.Written 14 June 2024

- 170philiph0 contributionsDONT DREAM IT, DO IT!I came here for the thrill of a lifetime, to drive a Ferrari in Italy! I'd carefully read all the reviews and the compared the competition before choosing pitlane red passion....and I'm so glad I did! From the moment you arrive ist a sea of Red. The passion is everywhere., The team were very accommodating and I got the 488 mid-engine spider I wanted…in red of course! I chose the 30 min trip which took in “the surrounding mountain roads” which was a bit of an exaggeration, but was ideal to get the noise, power and thrill of driving a Ferrari. Your "co-pilot" really pushes you and allows you to use the power at every opportunity. He knows the roads so you don’t have to worry about the bends etc and can really enjoy the car. Its not high speed, as its on public roads, mostly around the industrial area of Modena, passing the Ferrari factories, but it gives you feeling of what’s it’s like to drive, with the wind in your hair and that gorgeous noise in your ears! If I was to do it again I’d add on the track option. Buy the video so you relive the bumpy Italian roads and scenery! This was a Fabulous experience of a lifetime, so don't dream it, do it!Written 14 August 2023
- Robb H0 contributions5 laps on the Modena track will change your life.Our entire 18-day trip to Italy was centered around this opportunity to drive on the Modena Autodromo track in a Ferrari 458. What I didn’t realize was that this would not be a 458 like you might buy from a dealer; this was a 458 Challenger which is race modified: slick tires, roll bars, flame control device, 4-point seat belts, etc. The first lap is driven by the professional race car driver. It was like all the most extreme rollercoaster rides combined. Then I got to do 5 laps with the driver at my side advising: “gas, gas,” “brake . . . hard,” “gas, gas, gas,” “hold to the right,” and so on. That advice made the experience much better than I would have done on my own. I paid for the photographer to record the experience. This was so worth it.Written 14 February 2023
- SweetPiment00 contributionsIncredible experienceWe booked a drive at Pit Lane. Upon arrival ladies at the reception were incredibly friendly. When test driving a driver comes with you to give you directions to drive on the road. The driver who came with me was Maurizio. He was excellent and truly contributed to my driving experience. Driving the Ferrari felt absolutely fantastic and was such a wonderful experience. This made our stay at maranello. Highly recommend this driving experience at pit lane. My husband and father also did the driving simulator What a wonderful day!Written 23 September 2022

- HilaryHopper0 contributionsTest driving the 488 SpiderThis was an amazing adventure. From the start of my 30 min test drive, my co-driver made driving the 488 a dream! Here’s a tip!! When they tell you to slowdown, it’s for a reason! Just listen, they want the cars in front of you to move out of your way because when you hit the gas, this car moves! If you can show that you are good with driving, they will just sit back and let you drive. Such a fun time!Written 17 June 2021

The test drive was part of a package whilst staying at the Hotel Maranello Village, and what an experience! A warm welcome awaited and the formalities and paperwork quickly completed. I was introduced to Maurizio who would be sitting alongside making sure I didn't get in to any trouble, before a quick photo session and explanation of the controls etc. It was nice being offered the option of auto or paddle shift. After a bit if sedate driving through the back streets of Maranello, passing the Fiorino circuit we joined the main road interspersed with traffic lights and roundabouts, but with long enough straights to be able to experience the phenomenal acceleration. There are a number of cars to choose from, but can highly recommend the California T convertible, and although this car looks like a tourer, underneath it's a beast!! The 10 minutes was over to soon, but was a great way of being able to experience driving such an iconic car around it's hometown.

Back in October 2024, I did the road and track driving experience with Pitlane Maranello and I have been a previous customer of pitlane in the past and recommend Pitlane to anyone looking to drive a Ferrari. I drove the California T on the road and 458 challenge GT car on the track. It was great and an experience that is unforgettable.

Fantastic experience to do absolutely, even as a couple as in our case! After visiting the museum of Maranello, to complete the work there is nothing better than driving one of the redheads. The ideal is to treat yourself to a ride of AT LEAST 30 minutes, because once on board then it becomes a shame to get off. Although we are talking about very performing cars, on the passenger side there will be an experienced Guide who will make this experience safe and at the same time great fun. In our case we were greeted by the great Leslie, who guided us in the beautiful streets of the area aboard one of the artworks available. Undoubtedly to try again!

Booked a drive after walking by. Myv10 yo daughter wanted to come and I have to say the stuff we're excellent. The girl on the desk was incredibly helpful and spoke fluent English, the guy who took me out was brilliant and if he was a 10/10 for me, he was an 11/10 for my daughter. She loved it and he made her feel more important than any of us. Cant rate them enough

Very competent and friendly team. They cater to personal requests, very quick response time when contacting us by email. The ride in the Portofino with space for 1-2 people in the back seat was an absolutely fantastic experience. Thanks to the guide's perfect instructions, we knew where to accelerate - a big thank you for that! All in all, a unique experience!!!! Would happily do it again anytime, especially with Pit Lane Red Passion. Absolutely recommended!!

Was very fun, I drove with my sister in the back seat for half an hour around the hills of Maranello. Very scenic. Our instructor was awesome and knew the good spots to feel the power of the Ferrari. The experience was well worth the money for me!

Amazing experience! The staff were very accommodating and Maurizio was an amazing copilot. He makes sure you drive the car the way it’s meant to be driven, I’m not sure who had more fun, him or me. You can tell he loves his job and wants you to love every minute behind the wheel. The fun factor is off the charts.

ASK FOR MAURIZIO!
This was an amazing experience, wasn’t cheap but 100% worth it! I was lucky as the day I attended was a sunny day with very little traffic, I booked a 30min drive, although i did the allocated km’s I finished in 25min because i was able to drive fast thanks to my navigator Maurizio, he was always encouraging me to get on the gas. I couldn’t recommend this place enough, i loved it!

My wife really wanted to test drive a Ferrari in Maranello, our tour bus stopped here and she was able to test drive a nearly new red Ferrari California Turbo. We had a member of staff join us who sat in the front passenger seat and I climbed into the back. The car is simply amazing, absolutely stunning and very fast. My wife got around 15 minutes in the car for about 200 EUR which is not great value for money but at-least she gets to say she drove a Ferrari in Maranello! I would highly recommend this experience. The staff are not pushy at all, very professional, clean cars, safe drivers, excellent service.
