Those who love cars should try these 7 things at least once.

Drive on the unrestricted sections of the Autobahn

The only highways in the world where enthusiasts can legally drive at unlimited speeds are the unrestricted lanes of Germany’s Autobahn. Seeing a sign that says your destination is 200 kilometers away and knowing how quickly you get there is entirely up to you and your automobile is a different thrill.

You will never forget the experience of driving a vehicle at or near its maximum speed. MOVE FAST: In an effort to reduce CO2 emissions, the German government has proposed imposing speed restrictions on the entire Autobahn network.

Drive a V12-powered cars

As a cars fan, one of the most amazing experiences is being behind the wheel of a powerful V12-powered vehicle. From the growl of the 12 pistons to the engine’s response when flooring the throttle, the V8 seems quite mild.

For the most realistic feel, we suggest the naturally aspirated Lamborghini V12, but a twin-turbocharged engine like the 6.6-liter in the BMW M760i is also excellent. Because the V12 is a dying breed, get your chance.

Drive a rear-engined Volkswagen Beetle

A masterpiece of simplicity, the original Volkswagen Beetle with rear engine is driven by millions around the world. It is without a doubt one of the most important devices in automotive history.

It’s also an automobile that survived long past its on-sale date, thanks in part to subtle but significant improvements, and offers the opportunity to experience several automotive design periods simultaneously. Mechanically and culturally, spending an hour behind the wheel of a Beetle is interesting.

Go off-roading

Every automobile enthusiast should drive down a rough road at least once, and we’re not just talking about a gravel road in the backcountry. Exploring a whole other side of driving—where snorkel size and differential lock are more important than Apple CarPlay and Bluetooth connectivity—is taking a 4×4 like a Jeep Wrangler or Land Rover Defender into its native environment. Admiring the breathtaking landscape is the cherry on top.

Spend a day at the track

Legally, it is challenging to drive a cars on public roads at speeds exceeding 75% of its capacity. The racecourse must be used to push the car and driver to the maximum. Along with important life skills like maintaining good driving posture and keeping an eye on the road, you’ll learn what both the car and you are capable of in this enlightening setting.

Chasing tenths of a second on the track is exciting and being good at it can improve your driving in regular conditions.

Attend the Goodwood Festival of Speed

Every year, it takes place on the south coast of England and runs for four days, featuring a world-famous hill climb and a car show honoring all things rare, fast and cool.

Where else can you see a Peugeot 208 Pikes Peak Racer, a Porsche 917 and a Red Bull Formula One vehicle all in action within minutes of each other? Moreover, the parking lot itself is a spectacle. It takes place between 4-7 July 2019.

Attend a major race
