Road Trip to Wolfsburg - Best place to hire a sports car?

[cartertronic]

Hey all,

I'm heading to Europe tomorrow, first stop is Berlin (staying in Kreuzberg) for a week and I am planning to take a day trip to Wolfsburg.

I could probably take the train out there, but that kind of goes against the spirit of the place!

Anyway, I'm looking to hire a car, preferably something with a bit of balls.

Does anyone have any experience with hiring sports cars in Germany? Any leads on good places to hire?

Cheers

Simon

EDIT: I should add, that by "something with a bit balls" I mean something above standard rental - unfortunately I have a budget :(

So far best I can find is this ERENTO (http://www.erento.net/rent/vehicles-boats-aircraft/special-cars/sports-car/?formSend=SearchList&land=3&was=)

911 S for €199Euro is looking pretty good value...
283kW
0-60 in 4.9secs
Top speed of 302 km/h

Coupe or Cabriolet? Hmm...

Can you imagine the wind noise at 150+ on the Autobahn in a ragtop?

Ouch.. just got an email back.

"For the requested time we can offer you a Porsche 911 or a Porsche Panamera for 199,00 € per day with 200 free kilometres.

Every additional kilometre would be charged with 1,00 €.

The deductable with these cars would be 1500,00 € in case of damage and/or theft...except you have other insurance-conditions combined with your credit-cards. "
Round trip from Berlin to Wolfsburg is about 500km :(

The search continues.

I had no problems getting my jollies in an S40 diesel volvo last time I was there. I had a MKIII Golf 1.6 before that (which made me want to buy a VW - it took a while but i got there evenually).

Unfamiliar roads, driving on the right, hire car, big excess - how hard do you drive with all that against you? (OK, we sat on 190kmh for many kilometres when going to Switzerland & was following the rellos doing 160kmh in a bucketing down rainstorm - all good fun).

We hired a Seat Leon TDI.

Was great, went hard and used at the Ring.

We drove it for 2 weeks and didnt have any problems.


All the best.
