Are the Ferrari and Lamborghini museums any good?
Discussion
Thanks for the comments. We have just come back from our trip.
The Ferrari museum in Maranello was good. They seem to change what they show there perodically so there is an element of luck as to what you see. Currently the theme is Ferrari in America which misses out some good cars but the flipside is that you see some more quirky cars.
The Lamborghini museum at St Agata was also good. As pointed out above, you can look round it all on line to save a trip, or to help you decide whether a trip is worthwhile. Also saw a Huracan outside.
We went to the Pagani factory which was very hard to find so we arrived half way through the tour. It is in an industrial estate in the middle of nowhere! Still worth going to though to see Huayra's being built and Zondas being worked on. (My wife isn't into cars but she loved the Huayra. Shame it is slightly out of our budget.)
I'm not into bikes but I still found the Ducati factory and museum interesting.
The one let down was the Ferrari museum in Modena. There was an F40 and an Enzo but you can see those at a Sunday Service! (Perhaps I've become spoilt.) There wasn't much explanation of the history behind them either.
We stayed at the Planet hotel in Maranello which I would recommend. From our balcony, we could watch the Ferraris go by, including several La Ferraris. The Duke was good for dinner, and there are several pizza places nearby.
If you want a break from cars, Bologna was great to explore.
Tomorrow I'm off to Marbella so looking forward to more car spotting around Puerto Banus and the drive up to Ronda.
