Default Good Price or Not?

I am looking to hire an exotic car in Europe later on this fall, and have been looking at these guys who do luxury car rental in France - does anyone know if 1300 Euros for a day for a Ferrari 458 Italia is a good price or a rip-off? I am looking for a good reliable company, so I don't mind paying what I need to pay, I just want to make sure this is reasonable. Or does anyone have any contacts with any suppliers who will rent directly?

about 1 usd to .70 eu.

so it would be around $1800 usd to rent a Ferrari 458 Italia for the day.
IMHO if that also includes a ride on the ring then yeah, if no then not.

Doesn't seem that bad. A day with a Ferrari/Lambo is going to run you ~1200-1300 in say, Las Vegas. You're in France so you can always expect a little premium. I'd search for some 'deal' websites where you might be able to get a break but that doesn't seem that crazy.
