Forget the Jet. These New Luxe Road Trips Let You Explore Europe in Porsches, Lambos, Ferraris and More.
It’s no secret that Americans love road trips. In fact, a recent study conducted by OnePoll revealed that three in four (73 percent) travelers in the US prefer to drive rather than fly. The hard part is finding new routes to explore. That’s where Ultimate Driving Tours (UDT) comes in.
The international outfit, which has been crafting luxe road trips and motorsport experiences for the past decade, has just rolled out five European itineraries for 2023. The specially curated adventures will allow petrolheads to drive prized supercars through the Old Continent’s breathtaking landscapes, with pit stops at top-notch local restaurants, hotels and bars. On top of that, you’ll partake in exclusive experiences geared toward auto enthusiasts.

Similarly, the six-day Taste of Tuscany Supercar Tour lets you explore the historic wine region and includes stops at vineyards, Michelin-star eateries and five-star hotels.
As its moniker implies, the seven-day World Champions F1 Tour is designed for motorsport fans. You’ll have the chance to drive some of the fastest four-wheelers on some of the most famous race circuits in Monte Carlo, Maranello, Monza and Imola.
Speaking of cars, UDT has quite the fleet. For each adventure, you are able to helm an Aston Martin DB11, Bentley Continental GT, Ferrari 812 Superfast, Ferrari Portofino, Lamborghini Aventador S, Lamborghini Huracán Performante, McLaren 720S, Mercedes AMG GT, Porsche 911 Turbo or a Corvette C8.
