Great experience, thrilling ride and good chat Darren was a very knowledgeable guy. He explained the McLaren's construction and engine, then demonstrated the performance and roadhandling. Would really recommend this for any car enthusiast. A true supercar experience!

What a blast! What a fantastic passenger experience! The power of the McLaren MP4 was even greater than I expected, and Darren was able to demonstrate the incredible acceleration and handling while keeping within the law. The booking process was easy, Darren's communication was faultless and I enjoyed talking with him throughout the experience. I would have no hesitation in recommending this adrenaline blast to others.

A fun (legal) drive on the motorway The car has phenomenal acceleration. Three seconds to 100km/hr pushes you back into your seat. It doesn't get boring doing that several times. With the rear window open you get a fantastic soundtrack from the engine. Darren has a passion for exotic cars and shares it well. He winds the windows down when going through a tunnel and revs! Thanks for bringing the fun, Darren.

621 reasons to return! If you are in Wellington for a bit, I highly recommend putting XtremeX on your must do list. We just had another excellent experience with Darren - we did the Lambo last time, and this time the McLaren. The 3.8-litre twin-turbo V8 engine sounds awesome and 621 BHP taking you from 0–100KPH in just 3.0 seconds is unreal! Darren shares so much - time, knowledge and experience, it is so much more than a ride in a supercar. Sometimes the world gets weird and you just need to take a moment and do something that makes you happy...this is a fantastic way to do it. The recipient is still smiling! Love your work XtremeX, can't wait to see the next steps, we will definitely be back!

Incredible experience What an incredible experience! Gave as a gift to my 7 year old son for his birthday and he absolutely LOVED it! Hasn't stopped talking about it all day, was a memory that will stay with him for life I think. Darren is great, communication was top notch both before and during the experience. Can't recommend XtremeX enough!
