If Ferrari is the ultimate in driving style, then the Battery Operated Ferrari 360 Spider from Berchet is the ultimate gift for any aspiring driver.
If Ferrari is the ultimate in driving style, then the Battery Operated Ferrari 360 Spider from Berchet is the ultimate gift for any aspiring driver.
Measuring 1.4m (just over 4.5 feet) in length, and weighing in at 22 kg (10lbs) this is no lightweight. The car arrives boxed and the only assembly required is to fit the steering wheel, back spoiler and wing mirrors--all of which screw in easily and safely (full instructions are included). Once the battery is in place (NB: the battery requires 24 hours charging time before use) your youngster is ready for the off.
The accelerator pedal is responsive but controlled, and even at full tilt (though your children will find it very exciting) you can rest assured that it isn't so fast as to prove dangerous. Even the youngest of testers who drove this car (aged three) soon got the hang of the gears and brake, and the optimum age for this model is therefore around three to four years.
The only downside of this car and the others in the same range is the time required to charge the battery--24 hours for each use. In this test the car still had power after 90 minutes of more or less continuous use, though the manufacturer recommends it's usually around one hour. That said, children will need constant supervision whilst driving, and an hour or two before raising the chequered flag is probably enough to keep it a special treat.
The Ferrari 360 Spider was tested on carpet, in a room with other similar cars and sustained the odd knock and bump; however, the superlative quality of the plastic and trimmings meant it was completely unnoticeable and finished the test drive without one pit stop. Traction was good with only the odd enthusiastic start causing a wheel spin and even the younger testers, who were a little intimidated by its sister car, the Ferrari Formula 1 Grand Prix, took to this like a dream.
As an ultimate gift for a three to six-year-old who's into cars you need not look any further. The car is of the highest quality and is stylish, but durable, and exciting, but safe. The size and scope of the car means it will probably last at least two to three years in terms of play value and quality. --Lucie Naylor
