For youngsters who remain glued to Top Gear every Sunday night and who know every stage of Colin McRae Rally on PS2, here’s their chance to stop dreaming and get behind the wheel for real.
6th Gear Experience offers any young person – boy or girl – the opportunity to get behind the wheel of a legendary supercar. The only criteria is that you need to be 4 foot 10 inches tall. Cool…
Ideal as a holiday treat, Christmas or birthday present, or even as an exam pass or other incentive, a TeenTrackAttack supercar drive is exactly that – a thrill-a-minute driving experience.
All cars feature an automatic gearbox and are very straightforward to drive, so no previous driving experience is necessary, although more confident drivers can opt to change gears using the ‘paddle shift’. Cars are also fitted with dual controls, and an experienced instructor sits alongside in the passenger seat to ensure each driver gets the maximum enjoyment in complete safety.
The cars you actually drive:
Aston Martin DB9 – Aston Martin, James Bond’s car of choice.
5.9 litre, V12. 0 – 60mph in 4.6 seconds, top speed 190mph. It’ll set you back an eye-watering £111,500 to buy, but your driving experience costs just £89.
Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder – the uber cool Italian supercar – just listen to that engine!
5.2 litre V10 with a blistering 0 – 60mph acceleration of 3.7 seconds, and a top speed of 191mph. £140,000 worth of head turning automotive brilliance and 500bhp’s worth of power!
Ferrari F360 Spider – a truly legendary Ferrari created by Italian design specialist Pininfarina, in collaboration with Ferrari’s own Head of Design.
3.6 litre 400bhp at 8,000 rpm and 275 lb ft at 4,750 rpm. Top speed over 180mph, and 0 – 60mph in 4.4 seconds. And guess what? It’s red!
Audi R8 – Audi also owns Lamborghini and the R8 uses the same chassis as the Gallardo, but is built in Germany.
4.2 litre FSI Quattro gives a 0 – 60mph performance of 4.6 seconds, and a top speed of 187mph from 414bhp. £80,000 ‘fresh-out-of-the-box, and a classic already in the making.
