$182 for a Lambo ride?

Experience the adrenaline rush of driving a supercar or riding a Harley-Davidson at a lower price tag

It is not the destination but the journey that matters, as the famous saying goes. And two companies here are taking it to heart by providing luxury rides in supercars and on Harley-Davidson motorbikes at relatively easy-on-the-pocket prices.

Ultimate Drive is one such company that gives fans of luxury sportscars a chance to play pretend. It offers customers either a Ferrari F430 F1 Spider or a Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder and they can opt to drive the car themselves or be driven in it. The fully automatic cars come with an F1-style, paddle gearbox, which is semiautomatic.

Frenchman Marc Griot, 49, who owns the company, says it costs about $4,000 a day to rent a Lamborghini from regular car rental shops.

But at Ultimate Drive, which started offering rides in December last year, customers can opt for a 15-minute ride, with a driver, for $182.40. And some happily shell out $588 to self-drive around the Formula One circuit and expressway for one hour.

$182.40 for a 15-minute chauffeured ride or a $588 1-hour self drive around Marina Bay Circuit and the expressway. Worth it? For a moment of thrill, I'd say GO FOR IT~!
