Now anyone can drive a supercar, as long as you’re 4 feet 10 inches tall!
Now this is quite an interesting idea and I can guarantee there are some young extreme motorheads who will be dumping their summer odd job earnings into a couple of sessions at this joint.
The 6thGear Experience allows anyone to drive a choice of their 4 models of supercars, as long as you are over 4 feet and 10 inches tall and can reach the pedals! The ultimate amusement park, it seems, and with the advent of clutchless transmissions even in the world of pure hardcore supercars, it’s easier than ever for anyone to just go fast in a straight line in one. All of 6thGear Experience’s cars are automatic.
The four cars available are the Aston Martin DB9, the Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder, the Ferrari F360 Spider, and the Audi R8. They have a mix of the 4 models but 15 in total. The drop top Gallardo is the most expensive one on the list with a price tag of £140,000 to purchase but there’s no better way to experience the raging bull V10 than with the top down.
Every drive is supervised by a fully trained and experienced instructor who is skilled at drving and have been checked by the CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) to certify them for working with youngers. You don’t want any dodgy person in a car alone with your youngster would you? 6thGear Experience reports that most kids reach an average speed of about 56km/h while driving the cars – must be too intimidating to go further, but some with practice and confidence have reached higher speeds.
Each ride starts from £89 for 10 – 15 minutes driving in one of the four cars above on a specially coned circuit. Hot laps are also available for £20 where you are taken for a ride (you don’t drive) in the Lamborghini as a passenger while a qualified driver/instructor drives the car around the track.

reminds me when i had a couple of rounds in a race-prepped M3 in Monza several years back…unforgettable experience
July 9, 2009 @ 9:21 pm
Over here, those cars cost easily RM1mil each. Not a worthy business.
July 9, 2009 @ 9:24 pm
where is the pic of the aston martin?
July 9, 2009 @ 9:47 pm
OMG!!!!Where is the place!!!I wanna go!!!If I can’t buy it,at least I can drive it happily for a while!!89 pounds,eh??for it’s worth it…
July 9, 2009 @ 10:33 pm
it’s just a business….
hell, someone could come up with another similar proposition..like driving a 20 wheeler truck program. Or drive a WW2 tank…Just make sure they pay the money at the end of the session
July 9, 2009 @ 11:53 pm
4 feet and 10 inches tall. Yeah, I’m taller than that! I’ll definitely pay the 80 pound for a ride. Imagine you can drive your whole life dream car for only around RM400, or just be a passenger with RM100 +/-… It is totally worth!
July 10, 2009 @ 12:41 am
LOL i would wanna experience myself wit these supercars!
July 10, 2009 @ 1:49 am
I think Malaysia government also can make offer like this like offer some-one to drive the new PT91M tank, SCORPENE submarine and SUKHOI SU30MKM..
or maybe some experience driving the PROTON SATRIA NEO WRC car, PETRONAS TOM’S SC430 TOYOTA SUPER GT 2008 CHAMPION car, BMW SAUBER F1 car, POLIS DIRAJA MALAYSIA MITSUBISHI LANCER EVOLUTION X car,

RM400 to drive the car of your dreams that might not be yours even after 3 lifetimes is worth it.

Naza should have this as well. with a lot of choice!
July 10, 2009 @ 11:27 am
Wow. The company must have a huge insurance premium eh
July 10, 2009 @ 11:51 am
shite I paid a stinking GBP170 for a 30 min ride in a C63AMG down in a Merc dealership in Surrey. This one looks like a better deal! But then there’s tonnes of this kind of stuff around in the UK.

July 10, 2009 @ 3:16 pm
