Of course, some of us have been lucky enough to be picked up in big Jags and Audis through Uber, but how would you like to get to your destination in, say… a Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder or a Maserati GranTurismo? You’d make quite an entrance, wouldn’t you?
Well, Uber has done just that in Singapore – with exotic car rental company Dream Drive as its partner, it’s added supercars to its service as part of a trial programme. Lion City dwellers can now request either a Gallardo Spyder or a GranTurismo to pick them up, through the Supercar tab on the app.
Limited free rides were offered last weekend, but now the charging starts. For the first 15 minutes of travel, you pay S$165 (RM442) for the Maser and S$200 (RM536) for the Lambo, and S$7 (RM18.75) per minute thereafter. The cars are available from 10 am to 9 pm daily until May 20, 2015.

Malaysia also not bad lah at least not need to take the smelly taxi
If Same Lorrr was running the Uber service in Malaysia, he will give only Camry and Altis to passengers. To his small mind, Camry and Altis are better than Lambo or Maserati.
Poor Same Lorrr and Sam Loo (ori1), they are now crying in their showrooms because Toyota sales are so bad.
You can talkok whatever you want, but Toyota still best seller in Malaysia 2014.
Camry or Altis? is still better than pathetic Iswara/Waja/Wira/Persona/Exora taxi in Malaysia.
You think these minions got airbags/VSC/ABS? YOU WISH.
best passenger car seller is Honda not Toyota anymore, bring your Hilux to pick up passengers, more cargo space to store luggage too.
So you think your altis got that?I mean the pre 2000 model?Fat hope,Beside the engine everything else for model above 2004 is crap big times
even if the lambo driver nvr clean up also smelly la bro..
$165/$200 for a 15-minute ride in a car with speed not exceeding 60km/h no matter where i go. no thanks.
Paying so much only to sit in a supercar with a stiff ride and going at the (low) speed limit. Not exactly worth it. If I wanted to be in a slow taxi, I would prefer to waft in the decadence of a Rolls Royce.
Won’t be long before Uber offers helicopter rides. That will really take off, pun intended. Actually, that might be a pretty good idea, provided you live near a helipad and your destination has one too.
Or you can just parachute out of the helicopter at your preferred landing spot, anywhere.
Jokes aside, we want such ride here too. Longer roads, faster taxi. Singapore too small to go fast.
Makes no sense to be driven in those cars at those prices.
…. unless it’s a fifteen minute ride from KL to Penang on a Lambo.
I honestly don’t see the point in this. When one gets into a supercar, it only makes sense that he/she would want to be driving it instead of being chauffeured around, worse still at low speeds. I would rather be chauffeured around in a Benz S-Class, Roll Royce or Bentley for that amount of money.
