SCR Supercar Hire Blog

Ferrari are the ultimate automotive brand in modern day culture - with the prestige and history of the cars they make along with the motorsport pedigree from Formula One, the modern day Ferrari has everything. And if you want to experience all of that, then Ferrari hire is for you! SCR Supercar Hire offer three Ferrari’s for hire, the F430 Coupe in red, the F430 Coupe in black, and the F430 Spider in red. All three are fantastic variations of the F430, the car which has evolved from the 355 through the 360 Modena into the technological masterpiece it is today.

Ferrari’s have the best exhaust noise around (to my ears anyway, followed closely by the Aston Martin V8 Vantage!), so the opportunity to drive any of these is special. If you want to hear that noise even more intensely, then the F430 Spider is the car for you, with the soft top down and the sun (sometimes!) shining on you. If you would rather the coupe version of the F430 we can also cater for that, and in one of two colours. The traditional Ferrari red F430 is always popular as you can imagine, but sometimes you want something which looks different, and for those occasions we can offer an F430 in black.

The F430 looks very menacing in black, also quite “stealth”, and it is perfect to make a more discreet initial arrival before people hear the fantastic engine again. With these cars costing upwards of £135k new they are out of the reach of many of us to purchase, but hiring them for a weekend or a week is affordable. Take a week off work and hire one of these and have more fun than a week in a cheap Spanish hotel! Or maybe you have a wedding to go to and want to make a real impression - then any Ferrari you take is the right choice!

Get in touch with us today for Ferrari Hire and see what we can do for you to make your supercar hire experience the best one possible for you.

Listing every new supercar coming out in 2008 would be a difficult job, but we can try to pick out some of the key things happening and give them to you in bitesize chunks!

Aston Martin DBS

Ok, so this was actually released in 2007, but this year will probably be the first chance that you get to see these cars on the road. Meaner and edgier looking than the DB9, the waiting list for one of these is unsurprisingly a couple of years long, but keep an eye out as they do look special!

Audi R8 V10

A R8 was huge success when it was launched last year, Audi hope to improve on the R8 abilities by slotting in an engine similar to that in the ’sister’ Gallardo. This should help its pure speed, and improve on giving the car the real feel of a supercar. Supercars should either make you feel ten years old again (Murcielago), or really special (DB9), and the R8 does neither in our opinion. However, give a car real speed and proper handling and it will still give you the feel you need. Also, they have excellent reviews from most of the press and there is no doubt that it is an unbelievable first effort of a supercar by Audi.

Koenigsegg CCXR

This car is a real monster, and one I fully expect to beat the record on the TopGear track with the stig at the helm! 1018 bhp, and a lightweight body improve what was already a mightily impressive ‘hypercar’, although not something you will see everyday. I don’t think I’ve even seen a ‘normal’ CCR on the roads, such is the exclusivity of them. One for the super rich to enjoy and stand out in!

Ferrari

You can’t have a year go by without something impressive coming out of the Fiorano factory, and this year will be no different. They should release the new Ferrari Dino, of which there aren’t any images of at the moment. The ‘base’ Ferrari has got slowly more expensive since the days of the 355, through the 360 to the Ferrari 430, and this should help redress the balance a little bit. It will go head to head with the Aston Martin V8 Vantage which is a tough ask, but we have little doubt that this will be an absolute scream of a car!

The very best of these new cars will of course be available to hire from SCR Supercar Hire!
