Aston Martin Driving Thrill

£149.99

About the experience

Aston Martin represents pure power and finesse. Some venues offer the V8 Vantage - a beautifully crafted modern classic with V8 power that demands long straights and high-speed corners. Other venues provide the DB9 - an uncompromising six litre, 186 mph speed machine, with V12 power and handling to satisfy any driving enthusiast. Begin with a briefing from a qualified instructor who'll talk through racing lines, driving techniques and how to best handle the car, before hopping behind the wheel of either the 4.3 litre, 380 bhp Aston Martin V8 Vantage or the splendid DB9 for six miles of driving. Some venues conclude with a certificate presentation or driving analysis.

In a Nutshell

  • Try the DB9; an uncompromising six litre, 186 mph speed machine
  • V8 Vantage with V8 power demands long straights and speedy corners
  • Train with a fully qualified instructor first
  • Stay behind the wheel for four and a half miles or ten minutes
