Supercar Experience Days: Driving experiences are great ways to try luxury cars without forking out for the hefty price tag, and are a sure fire way to get the blood pumping! Whether you've always wanted to drive an Aston Martin or you're looking to buy one and want to test it out first, this experience is guaranteed to put a smile on your face.

Much like the classic Aston Martins that James Bond himself drives, this sleek V8 Vantage is powerful and aesthetically beautiful. On arrival at your chosen track you'll first get registered and greet the ground crew, before stepping into the plush leather interior and receiving a briefing on the controls of the car and rules of the circuit. Then you're off! Unfortunately the V8 Vantage doesn't come complete with lasers and flamethrowers, but it does have a 4.7 litre 420 hp V8 engine, doing 0-60mph in 4.7 seconds. You'll get to drive this incredible vehicle for three miles of your chosen track, which is plenty of time to get a feel for the superb handling and the power of the acceleration.

The Aston Martin V8 Vantage Driving Experience at your choice of track is an incredible gift for luxury car lovers, and is sure to be a day to remember. The professional instructors will guarantee an experience like no other, so make this year the year you channel your inner speed demon!
