European adventure

One of the challenges of owning a supercar in Hong Kong is being able to control it in crowded places.

Most luxury car dealers offer their customers basic training in handling potentially volatile vehicles.

Usually at tracks, such courses allow devotees to legally rev-up cars without endangering other road users, and emerge a more confident driver.

The Audi Driving Experience Programme is another form of testing or learning about a luxury car.

The Bavarian marque has offered such courses for more than 30 years and last year ran 700 events for about 20,000 people in 40 countries.

Hong Kong Audi dealers Premium Motors offers a fascinating six-day, five-night Audi R8 Spyder Tuscany Tour, at HK$89,000 per pair, room and car.
