See Tokyo Like Never Before: Behind the Wheel of a Supercar

Visiting Tokyo? You can slurp up Michelin-star ramen and walk the world’s busiest pedestrian crossing, but only a handful of savvy travelers will drive through the neon-lit city in the Tokyo Supercar Night Drive.

We hate to call this a “tourist attraction” since the Night Drive is too cool for that classification, but this tourist attraction is a million times better than visiting Tokyo Disneyland.

During the Tokyo Supercar Night Drive, you get to play out your Fast & Furious fantasy by driving two ultra-luxurious rides through the buzzing metropolis.

Inside Japan Tours schedules the adventure through Tokyo Supercars in Ebisu. Once you’ve gone through a detailed technical presentation on all the cars, including specs and safety features, you can choose two sexy sports cars to take out for a night on the town. Pick between Aston Martin, McLaren, Porsche, Ferrari, and Lamborghini.

“After a quick lesson and safety briefing you’ll head out into to the Tokyo night,” says the official website listing the excursion. The drive will take you across a bridge to Odaiba Island in Tokyo Bay. From there, you’ll head back north to Ginza and along Nakadori, “one of Tokyo’s most beautifully lit streets,” says Inside Japan Tours. “You’ll also see the famous street lights of Omotesando, then visit Roppongi Hills to see Keyakizaka Street before returning to Ebisu.”

Don’t worry about getting lost on the foreign streets since you’ll be sandwiched between a lead car and back car in a convoy format. You can switch vehicles along the way at one of the many pit stops, because why not try a second supercar on for size?

Meet at 6 p.m. for the safety briefing and be on the road by 7 p.m. for two hours of coasting. You’ll be back at Ebisu by 9 p.m. with plenty of time and energy to hit a karaoke bar before heading back to your capsule hotel.

The Tokyo Supercar Night Drive requires you be 26 years or older to participate.

What happens when you take a Ford Ranger Raptor through a winter driving course
I learned about a week before the trip that the loaner was a Ranger Raptor

A Raptor caught me by surprise - in a good way.

When Ford invited me to Winter Safe School with Team O'Neil in Dalton, New Hampshire, reps said Ford would loan me a vehicle for the 225-mile trip north.

It wasn't long ago that we reported that beloved comedian Jerry Seinfeld set the autoverse ablaze this past fall when the comedian announced his decision to part ways with the legendary race car, chassis 022 of the 917K, famously driven by the charismatic Steve McQueen in the 1971 classic film *Le Mans*, during Mecum Auction’s prestigious Kissimmee 2025 sale.

Enthusiasts were not only caught off guard by the prospect of the renowned Porsche aficionado relinquishing one of the brand's most iconic models, but they were also curious about his choice of Mecum Auctions for the sale. Unlike the more traditional avenues of RM Sotheby’s or Gooding & Company—known for handling high-end European sports and classic cars—Mecum is predominantly recognized for its strong ties to American muscle cars, which made it a somewhat unusual choice of venue for an iconic European car like this.

2025 F1 pre-season testing in Bahrain: data for the teams and exposure for fans
Gamesmanship among F1 teams is widespread and perfectly acceptable within FIA rules.

Following the 2025 F1 season's first-ever launch at the O2 Arena in London, the next event on the Formula 1 calendar was pre-season testing in Bahrain. The testing was held in unseasonably cold weather in the desert from February 26 to 28.

The data analyzed from the three days of testing can be invaluable to the teams and drivers. Because of the competitive nature of F1, however, teams don't make all of the data public. While fans have limited access to the data, those in attendance or viewing the video stream can see the drivers and cars in action, essentially as a prelude to racing season. Hearing the team members' and commentators' comments and discussions is also interesting.
Why you shouldn't draw too many conclusions from F1 pre-season testing
