The Dream Car Tour™ is an alternative to our daily exotic car rentals and is a unique and exciting opportunity to experience world-class driving - and the thrill and passion of six different exotic sports cars - all in a single day - for less than the cost of one standard rental.
The Dream Car Tour puts you and up to twelve of your friends, family members and associates behind the wheel of some of the world's most exhilarating automobiles - for as little as $595!
- Drive six different vehicles from among our stunning collection of the world's greatest automobiles, including the Ferrari F430, F430 Spider, and 360 Spider, the Lamborghini Gallardo, Gallardo Spyder, Murcielago and Murcielago Roadster, the luxurious Bentley Continental GTC, the stunning Aston Martin DB9, the monster Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG, and the brand new Ferrari-powered 400hp Maserati GranTurismo.
- Compare and contrast the performance and handling characteristics of each vehicle as you experience them for 20 - 30 minutes each on the open roadway. You'll drive a total of nearly 150 miles through some of the best roads in the area (we've driven them all!). Afterwards, you'll have an opportunity to share your experience with the other drivers and decide which is your favorite.
- Learn about the specifics of each vehicle before you drive. Our trained professional staff will give you a complete overview of each vehicle - including full instruction on the operation of certain vehicles' electronic "F1-style" transmission. You'll be driving like a pro in no time!
- Remember your experience with our complementary gift package that includes a certificate of completion, t-shirt, DVD and other mementos of your day.
Your day starts as you step into the GDC clubhouse and sit down for breakfast or lunch and register for your Tour -- yes, we know you probably didn't sleep much last night, but ya gotta eat! You'll then have an opportunity to meet the other participants on your session; The wonderful thing about the Dream Car Tour is that we've had 100s of participants from age 21 to age 81 coming from all walks of life (and all parts of the world). But one thing's for sure -- everyone shares a passion for exotic & luxury cars.
We then gather for a short safety presentation during which we introduce the GDC staff, outline the Rules of the Road, give an overview of the vehicles you'll be driving, and answer any pre-Tour questions.
Then it's time for an overview of the cars -- we step you through each of the vehicles you'll be driving and make sure you're fully comfortable with their safe operation - how to shift gears, where the parking break is, how to avoid collapsing from excitement, etc.
Of course then it's time to hit the road - you'll get behind the wheel and embark on a heart-stopping 150-mile trek through the area's best highways, byways, and local roads. We've been running these Tours for over 3 years now and we're confident that we've found the absolute best roads the area has to offer - you won't be disappointed!
Every 20 - 30 minutes, we'll pull over at designated checkpoints and participants will switch cars round-robin. Then it's off for another romp behind the wheel.
And you'll do that six times.
Finally, we'll return to the clubhouse - exhausted and exhilirated - and wrap-up the day. You'll share stories with your fellow drivers, swap email addresses to stay in touch, and receive your Certificate of Completion and Dream Car Tour T-Shirt (wear it with pride!). It's been a day of driving you won't ever forget.
But don't take our word for it... -->"One week ago today, my husband and I had the driving experience of a lifetime! I just want to thank you all so much for everything that was done to make this day so special. It was so much fun and unique to have this opportunity to drive all of those incredible cars. Hopefully you will keep this going so we can come back to celebrate my husband's 60th birthday. We've shared our experience with a couple of our 'car crazy' friends who intend to take the ride!" --Sherri C.
"I want to thank you for an outstanding and unforgettable experience this past Wednesday on your Dream Car Tour. I could tell that everyone on your team was not just an employee, but a fellow car lover like me. I felt more like part of the team rather than just a driver, and I truly appreciate that. From showing me how to interact with the car like a pro to finding great roads to flex some super-car muscle made for an adrenaline rich experience. The cars were insane! I don't know how else to put it. Ferrari exhaust notes and sleek Lambo lines. You guys have the king of all car collections. I will be back for more." --Justin N.
"First of all, I wanted to thank you for the amazing experience last Wednesday. Nathan cannot stop talking about it…he loved every minute! I knew it was going to be great, but never imagined just how incredible it was going to be! You and your staff really do a spectacular job!" --Marie R.
"I just completed the Dream Car Tour on Wednesday Morning and I must say...I thought you guys did an excellent job putting the event together and making sure it was fun and safe for all of us (including the other drivers on the roads). Thanks again and I think that I'll be sending some family members and friends out to NY to check out this amazing experience!" --Jon P.
"My Goodness. That was one of the best $800+ I have ever spent in my life. The first 30 minutes with the Aston Martin was worth $1000 alone. My Goodness. The soul of Enzo was with me as I flew through New Jersey in the F430 and I could not believe the screaming roar of the Lambo Gallardo Spyder as we zipped by ... What a day ... what an experience ... PS I also want to thank you for being so damn cool about this entire biz. You don't act like a bunch of control freaks or restrictive with these exotics. This was more like getting together with friends and their exotic cars for a great afternoon together. That is how it should be." --Stephen R.
"THANK YOU AND WOW! That experience was everything I had hoped it could be. I would do this again in a heart beat and HIGHLY recommend to anyone who likes cars to do this. The staff were great, the cars well prepped and the route easily documented. It was all very professional. I will definitely pass your information along. I wish I could have spent all day in anyone of these cars." --William S.
"My husband Antonio and I had an UNBELIEVABLE time on Sunday!! He is still talking about it. The weather held up, the routes were great. SO MUCH FUN! ! ! The staff was amazing. You were all so professional, so helpful and friendly. We would definitely do it again!" --Lucia O.
"I wanted to thank you and everyone who participated in yesterday's Dream Car Tour. Your organization, energy, and fun, down to earth personalities made the experience very enjoyable. We will definitely look forward to doing it again...perhaps I will even be a driver next time! Please extend my gratitude to everyone. Kudos to Gotham Dream Cars." --David J.
"We had a wonderful time on Monday. My husband could not stop talking about all the fun he had driving all the dream cars. He called it 'the best birthday gift ever'. He was so excited that night after looking at all the picture and videos I took. By far, he loved the Ferrari and the Lamborghini even though he went in there wanting to drive the Aston the most. Well he is now in the save gear mode to get one of those cars. I want to thank the staff at Gotham for the wonderful time we had. The staff was AMAZING--- so professional, friendly, just wonderful. They made sure that every detail was taken care of which makes the difference in providing OUTSTANDING service. Everything ran so smoothly. I would highly recommend your company to all my friends. Thank you so much for this wonderful experience." --Nancy K.

Presenting a Once-in-a-Lifetime Opportunity - The GDC Legends Dream Car Tour™
Now THIS we're excited about.
The Legends Dream Car Tour is Gotham Dream Cars' new series, built around its award-winning Dream Car Tour events, that puts enthusiasts directly alongside some of the automotive world's most famous driving legends in a fleet of exotic sports cars.
The first Legends Tour will feature famed Lamborghini test driver Valentino Balboni and a fleet of the latest, greatest, fastest, baddest Lamborghinis out there.
Yes, Valentino is coming to New York City, and you can have the chance to drive with him.
This innagural event will be taking place on June 9 - 10, 2009 in the New York City area. We're made some special arrangements and the lucky few participants will be driving a very special fleet of Lamborghinis, including:
- The brand-new Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Spyder
- The monstrous, neck-snapping Lamborghini LP640 Roadster
- The evil, powerful, and mighty Lamborghini Murciélago Coupe
- The sun-soaked, ear-bleeding Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder
Just like our normal Tours, you'll get 20 - 30 minutes to drive each of 5 different Lamborghinis as Valentino leads you through New York and New Jersey's best highways, backroads, and twisty mountain passes. And as a special bonus, you'll also get to sit shotgun with Valentino as he pilots one of the very cars he helped develop.
You'll also be invited to a cocktail reception where you'll be able to chat with Valentino and other local Lamborghini enthusiasts and share stories and adventures from behind the wheel.
As you might guess, space on this special event is going to be extremely limited. If you're interested in participating, be sure to give us a call and book your seat now.
Cost for the innaugural Legends Dream Car Tour will be $1495.00 / driver. As with all of our Tours, non-driving passengers are 100% free of charge.
