Test Drive

Lone Star Exotics is an exclusive club that gives our members access to some of the world’s most amazing cars. But if you aren’t a member that doesn’t mean that you can’t have a little fun. Take our 520hp Lamborghini Gallardo for a test drive that you won’t soon forget!

How It Works
After going through an orientation, you can choose one of two routes in the Austin area, a 15 mile drive with a variety of road conditions including some straights and turns or a more aggressive 25 mile high-speed route. With an instructor sitting in the passenger seat, grab the keys and begin an experience you won’t soon forget.

Details
- $250 for the 15 mile route, $325 for the 25 mile route
- Passengers not allowed
- 15 minutes of orientation and driving instruction
- 45 minutes or 15/25 miles of driving, whichever comes first
- Includes an instructor for route guidance and vehicle coaching
- 15% instructor gratuity required ($37.50)
- Must be 25+ to drive
- $1,000 damage deposit required to drive
- $100k Minimum property damage liability insurance and valid driver’s license required
- All drives begin and end at our office

Scheduling
Due to changing insurance requirements, we will no longer be offering this service after April 30, 2013. If you have pre-purchased this experience from us, please contact us for a refund.

 


“I want to send my greatest thanks and appreciation for my F430 drive yesterday. The opportunity to get behind the wheel of such an amazing machine with an informative, professional, and equally enthusiastic guide was truly an experience I will remember for the rest of my life. I had an amazing time and truly can’t imagine how the experience could have been better. Thank you for the opportunity to fulfill a life-long dream, and I can’t wait for the next chance I get to come by Lone Star Exotics and make more memories.”
Elliott

    So bummed to miss this!! Hubby’s b’day is coming up in and he would have loved this. WIll you do this again?

  • beccalf75

    Just saw this on Travel Zoo.  My husband’s birthday is in September.  He would love this!  Are you accepting reservations that far in advance?

    • Jacob

      We book reservations for the 1-hour drives up to 90 days in advance. Hopefully, we’ll drive with your husband!

    • Jacob

      We make reservations up to 90 days in advance. Give us a call at the end of June and we can get you set up!

  • Thomas Nguyen

    Which transmission is in the ariel atom?

    • Jacob

      The Atom has a 6-speed manual gearbox.

    • Justin

      6 speed tremac

  • Sterling

    I hate to say this, but the 45 minutes or 15 miles (whichever comes first) is kind of like paying to rent a speedboat for an hour or to the end of the pier (whichever comes first). The 15 mile max means you can’t take the vehicle more than 7.5 miles away from the office? I know that driving at reasonable speed through traffic you would cover much more ground than 15 miles in 45 minutes. Can one of you guys address this issue for me?

    • Jacob

      Sterling, thanks for the question! Most of our cars require some driver instruction before just hopping behind the wheel and taking off, so that obviously eats into the time. Our routes are pre-set and designed to maximize the short amount of time in the car. We do offer an additional mileage package during these experiences, which usually ends up taking the entire 45 minutes of driving. We always strive to stay on time as we book up to 8 drivers per day.

      The bottom line is that our 1-hour experiences are designed to put our customers behind the wheel of some amazing cars at a very low price. Obviously, those looking for a longer experience can always sign up for the Dream Drive or rent one of our vehicles for an entire 24 hour period or longer.

      Thanks again for the question, and please don’t ever hesitate to call or email us if we can do anything else for you! ~ Jacob

    Do y’all have caps and/or shirts available for sale?

    • Jacob

      T-shirts are being designed right now and will soon be available for purchase!

  • 8ClMX2peaxly

    how much does extra mileage cost?

    • Justin

      For which car?

  • bozack

    Do you all do any other options over an hour less than 24?
    We have done a few 4, 6 and 8 hours in Vegas so was wondering

    • Justin

      Hello, no we do not offer shorter time periods. This is an insurance requirement, and although we would if we could, we are restricted from it.

  • Jordan Nelson

    Do you still offer the Ariel Atom?

    • Justin

      Jordan, No, we are sorry we do not. We are leaving the Atom for track only use as the streets are a little to dangerous for the car to be enjoyed properly.

  • Ela Buck

    Well, I bought the groupon back in the spring for my husbands bday. Couldn’t find an available time slot in May , then forgot about it over the summer..just checking your calendar and it seems incredible that every single timeslot for the test dirve is booked for til beg of Feb. Can you confirm that there is ABSOLUTELY NO TIME SLOT at all ?

    That would be a huge disappointment. Hope you can help me make this work.We might even pay for the upgrade for the longer drive :-)
    Thanks, Ela

    • http://www.facebook.com/White25 Jacob White

        • Jacob

          Staton, we were able to get a few more days open in January, so you might double check the calendar. It also makes a new day available every day, so it is constantly updating to include 60 days. As always, call us if you have any issues or if we can do anything further for you.

    I purchased a living social Lamborghini 1 hour drive for my fiancé and it expires 2/20/2013. Is there any availability between tomorrow and the 20th? We would’ve scheduled sooner but we recently had a new baby and didn’t know what our availability would be. Your assistance is greatly appreciated!
