Feel like a star with a Ferrari car

More Information

It may come as a surprise to some that the rich and famous do not take luxury supercars for granted after all. Whilst they may have a garage full of luxury motors, there remain those cars which capture the hearts of film and music stars just as much as they do to us.

Take Eric Clapton for example. He is so enamoured of the 512BB that he has owned three over the years. In order to still show his adoration that he recently commissioned a very special one-off 458 in order to pay homage to his favourite Ferrari car. Photographs and details were recently released. The car, called the SP12 EC, is powered by a 4.5 litre V8. It was designed by the Centro Stile Ferrai in collaboration with Pninfarina and engineers from Maranello and is a quite amazing visual piece of work.

As there is only one of these cars however, it is unlikely that unless you are on first-name terms with Eric, you will be able to drive it. Instead, opt for the much more accessible Ferrari car hire option. Our new car, the Ferrari 458 Italia Coupe gives you just as much thrill and feeling of what it means to drive the 458.

An incredible example of Ferrari’s unique style, the 458 Italia Coupe is dramatic, bold and superbly well-orchestrated; altogether everything that an artist or connoisseur of the finer things would indeed appreciate.

This two-seater mid-engined Berlinetta displays a striking silhouette. Sweeping lines presented this watershed of Ferrari cars. Pninfarina also assisted in the design and finishing of this motoring sculpture, as did Michael Schumacher. No other sports car hire could’ve been infused with quite so much music and legend.

Of course its performance credentials also pushed the boundaries. Taking this car for a brief self-drive hire, this Ferrari rental will excite with its V8 engine letting you feel the acceleration up to 450 Nm of toque, reaching 60 mph in just 3.4 seconds. All of this is possible thanks to the seven-speed F1 dual-clutch gearbox for razor sharp gear changes, as smooth as silk. Performance car hire is completed with carbon-ceramic brakes and Ferrari’s Pre-Fill logic braking technology to ensure that all components fuse into a perfect synergy of motion and force.

Luxury cars for hire also plays a role in your 458 Italia experience. All the main controls are centred on the kid leather-gloved steering wheel for utter ease of driving. The dashboard and interior are finished in yet more super-soft carbon leather with scarlet stitching for that race-bred look and feel. Your ivory leather seats are however just as comfortable to your repose as they are fetching to the Formula One excitement. Take a Ferrari hire London for your next foray.
