What To Expect
Our Supercar passenger experience operates from Outlet City, Tawa and takes you on the main highway where we utilise the local on-ramp/off-ramps to accelerate to 100kph in 3.0 seconds multiple times whilst creating lots of awesome sound from the McLaren 12C exhaust and of course demonstrating that pure unadulterated F1 sound as we go under the over bridges and through tunnels all so you get that true feeling of Lamborghini performance while keeping within the bounds of what is permitted on New Zealand roads. XtremeX operates a fully compliant Transport Service licence.

5.00Darren 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!

5.00I booked the 30 minute super car experience for my brother for his birthday. My brother is a huge car enthusiast and Darren was brilliant!! Lots of education and good chat, my brother was smiling from ear to ear afterwards. Great experience and would 100% recommend for anyone who is very into cars.
A fun (legal) drive on the motorway

5.00The 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.

5.00If 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!
Awesome experience

5.00I bought this experience for the kids, and they have not stopped talking about it all day. The car is the star of the show, but the driver completes the experience. He is a fantastic host, and I would recommend this experience to everyone.
Full, all round package! A gift to remember!

5.00I cannot emphasise just how good Darren and our experience with XtremeX was. It far exceeded everything we hoped for and expected. Not only was the ride exhilarating but Darren goes above and beyond to make this the full experience. My kids are still buzzing! We can't recommend XtremeX enough!!
