Lamborghini Gallardo | Cars
Lamborghini. That's a name that should send shivers down your spine....in a good way!
For me, I have always thought of Lamborghini as the craziest supercars on the plant, built in a shed by a crazy Italian. Ferruccio Lamborghini was that man and the first of the crazy cars was the unforgettable Miura with it's fantastic looks and it's insanely sounding V12 engine. The world of bullfighting is a key part of Lamborghini's identity, as it was Ferruccio's interest that would give you the iconic emblem for this historic company. A Lamborghini has at some point been the pin up on everyone’s wall and thanks to the design tastes of Marcello Gandini of Bertone who gave us not only the Miura, but the Countach and Diablo to name a few!
Gallardo, a famous breed of fighting bull and Lamborghini's bestselling car to date. Lamborghini's are designed mainly to make a lot of noise and cause excitement. So, while the Ferrari howls and a McLaren hums, the Lambo bellows. And while the racers were styled by aerodynamicists, the Lambo was designed to make people say “wow”. Which it does. In a Ferrari or a McLaren, you concentrate when you are driving quickly. In the Gallardo, you can’t. You’re too busy laughing.
Who the hell gets to drive one of these pure Italian (half a breath) super cars? This is defiantly a once in a life time opportunity to go wild and feel young again!

An experience purchased for our 12yr old son, he had a fantastic time! The whole process from start to finish was very well organised and no real major waiting times. Our original car had technical issues and therefore we were given alternative options with an extra lap. We did also purchase the high speed experience in the Ariel Atom, this was 2 laps, our son thoroughly enjoyed this but we didn’t feel he had the full experience due to other cars being on the track and getting in the way, which was a bit of a shame. The £29 “optional” charge is confusing, we were told that they have a no blame policy so even if it wasn’t the fault of our son if something would happen to his car we would still be liable for any damages. However, our son had a great time!!
TheresaA great driving experience and very well organised. Upon arrival, my chosen car was being repaired so I was given the choice of cars. I chose the Lamborghini Gallardo and wasn't disappointed, however the expert tutorship of Mark Powell enhanced the experience.

Michael SwiftGreat day. Really enjoyed it. Its like organised chaos at first but it is organised. Had no problems with my 3 drives and the instructors were very helpful and knew their stuff. Only downside is the waiting for videos and pictures afterwards, would have thought it was easier to email people with downloadable links online rather than queing for a while at the truck. My driving video in the Gallardo didnt work either. Other than that, very very good.
RichardI rarely leave reviews on anything but I just wanted to say all the staff working at Three Sisters today were an absolute credit, extremely friendly and helpful and it made for a very memorable day. Please pass on my thanks.
James BaileyGreat driving 3 cars at Tockwith (R8 V8, Ferrari California and the Gallardo). Sighter lap to give me an idea of the circuit and finished the day with a high speed experience as a passenger. Great advice from the staff, and good videos and photos (unfortunately the video failed in the Ferrari, but the Gallardo was always my focus anyway.) Really well organised, and will definitely be returning.
Steve HudsonFantastic day! Booked this and the Nissan GTR for my sons 7th birthday present. We were not able to book the drives close together so would have had to wait approx 3hrs in between but the ladies couldn't do enough to get them much closer together. The whole event was so well organised! He has already decided what cars he wants next year!
Alfie BeynonThank you so much for making my daughters prom day extra special with the Lamborghini provided. Jamie was absolutely fantastic from start to finish, very professional, polite, accommodating to last minute timings that had to be changed. My daughter enjoyed her photo shoot with the car and as a family absolutely enjoyed the whole experience of having such a powerful vehicle at your door, it’s was perfect for her entrance to the prom at Rougemont School. Thank you again highly recommend and will be using in the future.
Tazeam BashirMy 12 year old son drove 3 cars and loved every minute. The staff were great, giving him advice and putting him at ease. I felt the drivers had patience and a great rapport with him. They made sure he got the most out of every drive and he loved the high speed ride at the end. It was the perfect way to end the day. I’d certainly recommend this for any kid who loves cars.

Allison CartwrightMy 16yr old son had a great day. It was wet and chilly but he had the widest smiles all afternoon. He drove the Gallardo and Aston Vantage V8. He also had a passenger lap in the Scooby. It was busy, so there was a bit of waiting around but that gave us the chance to watch all the other cars coming and going. Thank you so much for a fun afternoon for me and my 'big' boy!
TashaGreat organisation during the difficult COVID19 restrictions. I had a terrific time driving the Lambo at Castle Combe, with a super instructor. Many thanks.
