Redline Through LA: A One-Hour Ferrari Sprint from Hollywood to Beverly Hills
A one-hour, private drive through LA’s iconic boulevards—drive it yourself or be chauffeur-driven
There’s a moment when the city seems to pull itself taut—glass facades flash, palm fronds salute the sun, and traffic lights blink like a metronome—but then a Ferrari arrives and the rhythm changes. The car’s engine announces itself like a literal exhale; asphalt seems to lean in. For one hour you’re not just traveling through Los Angeles, you’re sliding through its best-known scenes with the sort of cinematic punctuation the city was built on. Whether you take the wheel or simply ride shotgun, the iRide 1 Hour Ferrari Beverly Hills Experience turns familiar routes into something immediate and slightly dangerous in the best possible way. Book the Ferrari Beverly Hills experience and expect a curated loop that threads the Sunset Strip, parts of Hollywood, Rodeo Drive, and the manicured boulevards of Beverly Hills. It’s not a museum piece—this is a precision instrument behaving as intended. The car’s low profile reorients your senses: the city’s soundtrack becomes engine growl, the sun glints off chrome instead of glass, and even the air smells like citrus and car polish.
