What hot rod fun Bucharest means
Hot rod fun Bucharest transforms a city stroll into a real automotive adventure, giving you the chance to drive a unique Wenckstern car through the capital's most important streets. This experience combines urban tourism with a passion for unusual vehicles, creating unforgettable memories.
The Wenckstern cars are true technical gems: 170cc engines with 15 HP, fiberglass body weighing only 150 kg, automatic transmission and a top speed of 90 km/h. The low consumption of just 3 liters per 100 kilometers and the 4.5-liter tank make these vehicles ideal for urban exploration.
Route and tourist attractions
The approximately 60-minute tour takes you through Bucharest's most photographed areas. You'll pass in front of the imposing Parliament Palace, cross Victory Square and discover other iconic landmarks of the capital. The route is designed to offer you a new perspective on the city, seen from the low height of a hot rod car.
Driving is done in an organized convoy, following the guide throughout the entire experience. Speed is adapted to urban traffic conditions, with priority given to safety and the joy of discovery, not speed.
The Wenckstern cars story
The concept was born from an idea developed over a barbecue and a few beers by the Wenckstern brothers. Following a two-year collaboration with TÜV Nord, the first vehicle made its appearance on a Hamburg road in 2010. Since then, over 400 vehicles have left the factory, and the concept has spread throughout Europe.
Romania embraced this innovation in 2019, and today you can experience hot rod fun Bucharest as part of a unique tourist experience. It's perfect for a memorable individual outing, a romantic surprise or a mini team building after work.
