pushstart

Good option. This company is a great deal who never have driven a Ferrari. They are very professional and location is very good.

I travelled from Australia to attend the Italian GP and I went to Maranello as an excursion. Drove 458 Italia for 10 mins but it was the best 10 minutes I've ever had. The co-driver was fantastic. Nice, understanding and very good at giving directions.The only down side was for a period of time, the company can't drive the Ferrari's around the town due to noise. Before you book, find out when that time is as you will taken to another area by car and allowed to drive it else where. Not pass the famous Ferrari gates

Sure, its not cheap, but worth the cost to spend some time behind the wheel of a Ferrari. Took the Panoramic tour and both my husband and I got the chance to drive. Fun and friendly driver came with us. Great experience.

It was through Pushstart that my son-in-law was able to drive a 570 hp Ferrari. Friendly company. Outstanding experience.

Efficient stuff, good service. But cannot really put into words. It is a must try! The stuff was very helpful, I have ordered the test drive for 14, All my requests were fulfilled. Just great!

What an experience to drive a Ferrari around the Enzo-inspired town! Guide was helpful, and encouraged spirited (within reason) driving. They're not the cheapest of the competitive Ferrari test-drive market in Maranello, but they were a well run operation.

Why not test drive a Ferrari or drive around a race track while in Bologna!? By car rental, it's only less than an hour from Bologna (Maranello) aka Ferrari town.It's a once in a lifetime while in Italy; so I booked my boyfriend this 458 Italia test drive but he upgraded to the race track. He told me it was the best birthday present ever!!!

Despite a tight schedule we specially went down to maranello for this.No nonsense we went to Juan and he showed us the pricelist.We paid for 20min of the 458 Italia for 200 euro.Unfortunately it was a rainy day.Was asked by co-driver to keep to the speed limit of 70km/h so could not go much further. DVD was offered but I did not take it. Didn't think driving a sedan at home faster than a ferrari was worth remembering. A bit disappointed coz I wanted to check it off my bucket list.Car was indeed smooth and a quiet drive. Definitely a wonderful car to have :)Cons:Car was dirty. TipsWas only given 15min plus (inclusive of instructions) instead of more time. Make sure you keep track and not be over exuberant like me. If you have a rainy day like me, save your money and come back another day, else just drive a simpler or more economical like the California. You won't miss much unless you truly want to try out certain models.Also ask if you can drive certain areas or speeds slightly higher.

Staff were professional and whilst there was a unexpected delay on my booking, we were given complimentary drinks in adjoining restaurant and complimentary DVD of experience. The small things really do matter.... Well done.

Booked a 20 minute ride in one of their Ferraris and Im rather disappointed. I thought Id done some research, checking clips on youtube but it was nothing like that. At all. The instructor wasnt really interested, he kept texting during my drive. I only got to give the car some throttle on one occasion, wich was over in a jiffy. If you wanna drive Ferrari a bit cause you wanna say youve driven a Ferrari. Go ahead. Dont expect a thrilling driving experience cause you wont. I was stuck behind slow lorrys 95% of the time. Get the 10 minute ride. An extra 10 for double the price isnt worth it. Ive had tons more fun in other, much cheaper rides. And much faster too. For example. Rent a fast jetski and get a proper thrill

excellent but very pricey, dvd offered of the drive after at a cost of 20 euro, photo too at another cost

I just finished a 25-day European road trip through 9 countries. This was the most incredible thing I did during the whole trip. Push Start has a variety of Ferraris and Lambos for rent. Most customers do their own driving. I couldn't, as I'm disabled and cannot use my feet. They gave me a professional driver, who knew the car very well, as well as the streets of Maranello. I chose the 430 Scuderia, with a 0-60 time of 3.4 seconds. Thrilling does not come close to describing this experience. We were driving at speeds up to 160 mph and whipping through roundabouts like they weren't there. It's the best money I've spent on anything, anywhere, anytime.

It is wrong, no, blasphemous to travel to Maranello, the heart of beautiful cars and fast driving and not drive a Ferrari! When you arrive at this small town you will be circled in red. You will hear the roaring shrieking screaming of large engines in gorgeous cars coming around every corner. If you can resist the temptation, you are in the wrong place. Pushstart is a shop that offers all kinds of memorabilia and collectibles but the main attraction is the Ferrari test drives. A nice selection of 360 Modena, 458 Italia, 420's, California, and the monster 599GTB are all available for short and long duration drives, ranging from 15 minutes up to an hour on a track, starting from roughly €80 and increasing with duration and car pedigree. I'll say this now, as a passionate Ferrari lover, no amount of time is enough time in a Ferrari. We spent a short time in a Ferrari California with my girlfriend driving around the town and it was an incredible experience, and definitely not something to miss. Please do this for yourself! There is no experience similar. And don't rent a Lamborghini, Enzo himself would be turning in his grave if he knew one of those shared a garage with one of his own masterpieces. Also make sure you get the video option to remind your friends that you have experienced greatness in what are the greatest cars on Earth.

We just returned from a Spring Break trip to Italy with our 17 year-old son. I found PushStart on the Web and my wife agreed to a Guys Day side trip. We took the high-speed train from Florence to Bologna and back This became the once-in-a-lifetime highlight of our vacation. Push Start offers the opportunity to drive Ferraris and a Lamborghini around the local streets and mountain roads, but we picked the 'track option' -- to experience the unleashed power of a Ferrari 430 Scuderia. This turned out to be a great choice. I drove the 430 on the local roads to Autodromo di Modena, which was fun. This did not compare, however, to blasting down the straightaway at Modena, and paddle shifting through the turns on the track. All of that horsepower can be uncorked and you really feel the handling of a Ferrari.Their expert driver was great. We took an initial lap and he pointed out the line through the curves and shift points, etc. His guidance when I got behind the wheel was also very helpful, and my second lap was much better than my first. They also agreed to let their driver take my son out for a couple of hair-raising laps. He was grinning from ear to ear as they buckled in, and his eyes were like saucers when he stepped out. This was definitely a day that will be remembered until he is my age!I highly recommend the expert guide who introduced us to PushStart: Francesco Bini at Motorstars.org. Before we arrived at the track, Francesco walked us through the Ferrari museum, the new Lamborghini family museum (where he arranged a private tour with Fabio Lamborghini), and a private tour of the Pagani assembly line. Francesco worked at Ferrari, Lamborghini and Pagani; he appears to know everyone, every car, every part, etc. This really made our day. See: www.Motorstars.org (A few photos are attached.)In summary, blasting around the track in a 430 Scuderia isn't cheap -- but it was worth every penny. Book your laps today; you will be glad you did! Let me know if you have any questions.Mark Hays

The bloke wanted to do this, so the lady decided to tag along. We did a hot lap in the California, and the lady sat in the back dicky seat. Awesome! Sitting in the back the lady was high up above the wind shield so was great she had on her sun glasses and wrapped a pashmina shawl around her head. It was soooo thrilling. Of course the bloke loved it, but so did the lady!!! We would both go again.
