This carefully curated route takes advantage of Victoria’s diverse terrain and showcases why Melbourne is the perfect starting point for one of the world’s most spectacular road trips. For those seeking the perfect vehicle to complement this adventure, our exclusive fleet of luxury supercars awaits your selection at our Chadstone showroom.
Day 1: Chadstone to Torquay – Setting the Stage for Adventure
Morning: The Perfect Start at CORSA SUPERCARS HIRE
Your supercar weekend begins at our flagship showroom in Chadstone, where the anticipation builds as you’re introduced to your chosen masterpiece. Whether you’ve selected the raw power of a Ferrari 812 Superfast , the precision engineering of a McLaren 720S , or the versatile performance of a Lamborghini Urus Performante , our team ensures you’re fully comfortable with all vehicle controls before departure.
Unlike traditional car rental companies, CORSA SUPERCARS HIRE provides a personalized orientation session that includes:
- Comprehensive walkthrough of all vehicle features and performance capabilities
- Recommended route guidance based on your driving experience
- Safety briefing specific to high-performance vehicles on Victorian roads
- Customized itinerary suggestions based on weather conditions and road closures
Before you depart, our team captures professional photos of you with your supercar against the backdrop of our Chadstone showroom – the perfect memory to share on your social media channels .
Mid-Morning: Chadstone to Geelong – Urban to Coastal Transition
As you navigate out of Melbourne’s metropolitan area, the urban landscape gradually gives way to lush farmland and rolling hills. We recommend taking the Princes Freeway (M1) for the first leg of your journey, allowing you to experience your supercar’s effortless highway cruising capabilities.
Just before reaching Geelong, detour through the charming town of Werribee. This provides an excellent opportunity to experience your supercar’s handling on more technical roads while avoiding peak traffic times in Geelong. The Werribee Gorge offers dramatic scenery and winding roads perfect for testing the responsive steering and chassis balance of your chosen supercar.
Lunch Stop: The Carousel Restaurant, Geelong Waterfront
Arrive at Geelong’s vibrant waterfront around midday, where The Carousel Restaurant provides the perfect lunch setting. Request a table on the terrace to showcase your supercar to fellow diners while enjoying fresh local seafood with panoramic views of Corio Bay. The restaurant staff are accustomed to luxury vehicles and will ensure you’re seated where you can keep an eye on your prized possession.
While enjoying lunch, take a moment to explore the nearby Eastern Beach precinct – a restored art deco swimming enclosure that provides a striking backdrop for supercar photography. This is also an ideal location to switch drivers if you’re sharing the driving experience with a partner or friend.
Afternoon: Geelong to Torquay – The First Taste of Coastal Driving
The stretch from Geelong to Torquay along the Bellarine Peninsula offers your first glimpse of the coastal paradise that awaits. This 45-minute drive takes you through rolling hills, vineyards, and charming coastal towns, providing the perfect opportunity to experience your supercar’s versatility.
As you approach Torquay – the birthplace of Australian surfing culture – the landscape transforms dramatically. The road begins to hug the coastline, offering tantalizing glimpses of Bass Strait’s turquoise waters. This section is particularly rewarding in open-top supercars like the Lamborghini Huracan Spider or Ferrari 812 GTS , where the ocean breeze and sound of waves complement the engine’s symphony.
Late Afternoon: Torquay Exploration and Photography
Upon arrival in Torquay, check into your accommodation early (we recommend advance arrangements for supercar parking). Torquay offers several luxury options, but for the ultimate supercar weekend experience, consider Jan Juc Beach House – a private luxury residence with secure garage facilities and direct beach access.
After settling in, dedicate the late afternoon to exploring Torquay’s most photogenic locations with your supercar:
- Bells Beach Lookout: The iconic surf location provides a dramatic backdrop for performance supercars
- Point Addis Marine National Park: The winding access road tests handling while the cliff-top views create stunning photography opportunities
- Torquay Foreshore: The palm-lined esplanade in late afternoon light creates an elegant setting for luxury grand tourers
For professional-quality images, our photoshoot packages include a local photographer who knows the best locations and lighting conditions throughout the day.
Evening: Dinner at Stokehouse
As sunset approaches, drive to Stokehouse on the St Kilda foreshore (approximately 1.5 hours from Torquay) for an unforgettable dining experience. This iconic restaurant’s floor-to-ceiling windows offer panoramic views of Port Phillip Bay, creating the perfect setting to reflect on your first day of the supercar adventure.
Reservations are essential, and we recommend mentioning you’ll be arriving in a supercar when booking. Stokehouse staff are experienced in accommodating high-end vehicles and can arrange preferential parking with a view of the bay. The restaurant’s sommelier can recommend Victorian wines that perfectly complement your multi-course meal, celebrating the end of your first day behind the wheel.
Day 2: Torquay to Apollo Bay – The Great Ocean Road’s Most Spectacular Section
Morning: Early Departure for Maximum Road Enjoyment
Rise early to make the most of Day 2 – the crown jewel of your supercar weekend itinerary. The Great Ocean Road between Torquay and Apollo Bay offers some of the most breathtaking coastal driving in the world, with approximately 180 kilometers of perfectly engineered asphalt hugging dramatic cliff faces and pristine beaches.
Before departing, ensure your supercar is fueled and ready for the day ahead. We recommend filling up in Torquay rather than waiting until the smaller towns along the route, where fuel stations may have longer queues during peak season.
The first section of the Great Ocean Road (Torquay to Lorne) is particularly rewarding in high-performance vehicles like the Lamborghini Huracan STO or McLaren 570S . The road features numerous sweeping bends and elevation changes that showcase the exceptional chassis dynamics and power delivery of modern supercars.
Must-Stop Locations Along the Route
Memorial Arch, Eastern View
Approximately 15 minutes from Torquay, you’ll encounter the iconic Memorial Arch at Eastern View – the official starting point of the Great Ocean Road. This historic site provides an excellent opportunity for photography, with the arch framing the ocean vista beyond. For a unique perspective, position your supercar in the foreground with the arch and ocean in the background.
Bells Beach and Winkipop Lookout
While Bells Beach is famous for its world-class surfing conditions, the Winkipop Lookout offers a more accessible viewpoint for supercar enthusiasts. This elevated position provides panoramic views of the coastline and creates an ideal setting for showcasing the dramatic lines of your chosen vehicle.
Anglesea
The charming town of Anglesea makes for a perfect morning coffee stop. Park your supercar on the main street (Coogoorah Park offers secure parking) and enjoy a flat white at one of the local cafés. The contrast between the relaxed coastal town and your high-performance machine creates interesting photographic opportunities.
Lorne – Morning Stretch and Exploration
Arrive in Lorne around mid-morning, where the wider streets and beachfront parking provide more comfortable supercar accommodation. Take a short walk along Lorne Beach to stretch your legs and appreciate the journey so far.
For the ultimate luxury experience, book a private beachside breakfast at Qdos Gallery & Restaurant, where floor-to-ceiling windows frame the ocean views and create an elegant setting to showcase your supercar parked nearby.
Afternoon: Lorne to Apollo Bay – The Road Intensifies
The stretch between Lorne and Apollo Bay represents the most challenging and rewarding section of the Great Ocean Road for performance driving. As you leave Lorne, the road narrows and begins a series of technical bends that test the capabilities of even the most advanced supercars.
Teddy’s Lookout
This spectacular viewpoint provides a panoramic vista of the coastline and is particularly dramatic when approached in a high-performance vehicle. The winding road leading to the lookout showcases the exceptional handling capabilities of supercars like the Audi R8 V10 Plus , which combines all-wheel-drive security with mid-engine precision.
Kennett River Koala Walk
Around the halfway point between Lorne and Apollo Bay, Kennett River offers a unique opportunity to spot wild koalas in the eucalyptus trees along the roadside. This natural attraction provides a welcome break from driving and a chance to share your supercar experience with fellow travelers.
Johanna Beach
For the more adventurous drivers, a detour to Johanna Beach rewards with one of Victoria’s most pristine and powerful surf beaches. The unsealed access road requires careful navigation in low-clearance supercars, but the dramatic contrast between your exotic vehicle and the wild beachscape creates unforgettable photographic opportunities.
Late Afternoon: Arrival in Apollo Bay
As you approach Apollo Bay in the late afternoon, the road opens up to reveal the charming coastal town nestled against the Otway Ranges. The main street provides ample opportunities to showcase your supercar while exploring local shops and cafés.
For the ultimate luxury experience, check into the luxurious Apollo Bay Waterfront Hotel or Chris’s Beacon Point Restaurant & Accommodation – both properties are accustomed to hosting guests with high-end vehicles and offer secure parking facilities.
Evening: Sunset and Dining at Chris’s Beacon Point
Position yourself at Maits Rest or the Apollo Bay Lookout approximately one hour before sunset. This timing allows you to capture your supercar against the backdrop of golden hour lighting as the sun descends toward the ocean horizon.
For dinner, Chris’s Beacon Point Restaurant offers an exceptional dining experience with panoramic views of Apollo Bay. The restaurant’s head chef creates seasonal menus featuring locally sourced ingredients from the Otway region. Request a window table when booking and mention your supercar arrival – the staff will ensure optimal parking arrangements with ocean views.
Day 3: Apollo Bay to Chadstone – The Return Journey
Morning: Otway Fly Treetop Adventures
Begin your final day with an early morning visit to the Otway Fly Treetop Walk – a series of elevated steel walkways and a cantilever extending 30 meters above the forest floor. This unique experience provides a different perspective on the natural beauty of the Otways and creates an interesting contrast with the mechanical precision of your supercar.
The Otway Fly is located approximately 30 minutes inland from Apollo Bay, requiring a detour from the Great Ocean Road. This inland journey showcases the versatility of all-wheel-drive supercars like the Audi RS Q8 or Lamborghini Urus , which handle the sometimes challenging road surfaces with confidence.
Mid-Morning: Cape Otway and the Shipwreck Coast
Return to the Great Ocean Road and continue westward toward Cape Otway. This section of the journey takes you through dense rainforest before emerging at the Cape Otway Lighthouse – mainland Australia’s oldest working lighthouse.
The road approaching Cape Otway features numerous tight bends and elevation changes that showcase the exceptional chassis dynamics of mid-engine supercars like the Lamborghini Huracan Tecnica orMcLaren GT . These vehicles combine track-focused performance with grand touring comfort – the perfect attributes for this challenging road section.
Lunch: The Twelve Apostles Lodge
Continuing westward, you’ll encounter the iconic Twelve Apostles – towering limestone stacks rising majestically from the Southern Ocean. While the main viewing platform can become crowded, we recommend proceeding to The Twelve Apostles Lodge for lunch.
This exclusive property offers private viewing areas away from the tourist crowds and a fine dining experience featuring local seafood and produce. The lodge staff are accustomed to hosting guests with high-end vehicles and will ensure your supercar is prominently displayed for fellow diners to admire.
Afternoon: Return Journey via Inland Route
For the return journey to Chadstone, we recommend taking the inland route via the Princes Highway (A1) and Western Freeway (M8). This wider, less congested highway allows you to appreciate the comfortable cruising capabilities of your supercar while making good time back to Melbourne.
The inland route also provides an opportunity to experience your supercar’s long-distance comfort attributes – particularly important in grand tourers like the Mercedes-Benz Maybach GLS 600 or Rolls-Royce Ghost , which excel at covering vast distances in supreme comfort.
Late Afternoon: Scenic Detour through the You Yangs
Approximately 45 minutes from Melbourne, consider a scenic detour through the You Yangs Regional Park. This granite mountain range offers dramatic elevation changes and technical driving roads that provide a final opportunity to experience your supercar’s performance capabilities before returning to the city.
The You Yangs also features numerous picnic areas and lookout points where you can capture final photographs of your supercar against the backdrop of Melbourne’s skyline in the distance.
Evening: Return to CORSA SUPERCARS HIRE and Farewell Dinner
Arrive back at our Chadstone showroom in the early evening, where our team conducts a thorough vehicle inspection and handles the return process efficiently. This is also an opportunity to discuss your experience and share your favorite moments from the weekend journey.
For your farewell dinner, we recommend Gimlet at Cavendish House in Melbourne’s CBD – a sophisticated restaurant with Art Deco interiors that perfectly complement the elegance of supercars. This award-winning establishment offers exceptional service and an innovative menu that celebrates Australian ingredients.
Reserve a table on the mezzanine level for the best views of Collins Street below, and arrange for your supercar to be parked prominently in front of the restaurant for one final showcase before returning it to us the following morning.

- Twelve Apostles at sunrise – The dramatic limestone stacks create a breathtaking backdrop for exotic supercars

For clients seeking professional results, our professional photoshoot packages include a dedicated photographer with experience in automotive photography who can accompany your journey or meet you at specific locations.
Seasonal Considerations for Your Weekend Itinerary
Victoria’s weather can be unpredictable, so we recommend tailoring your supercar weekend based on seasonal conditions:
Summer (December-February) – Longer daylight hours and warm temperatures make this the ideal season for convertible supercars. However, increased tourist traffic along the Great Ocean Road requires early morning departures to avoid congestion. Coastal roads can become hot, so we recommend high-performance vehicles with excellent cooling systems.
Autumn (March-May) – Often considered the perfect season for Victorian road trips, with mild temperatures, reduced crowds, and spectacular foliage along inland routes. This season showcases the versatility of all-wheel-drive supercars like the Mercedes G63 AMG or Audi RS Q8 .
Winter (June-August) – While coastal weather can be unpredictable, the inland routes through the Victorian Alps offer dramatic snow-capped mountain scenery. We recommend luxury SUVs with winter tire options and heated seats for comfort during colder months.
Spring (September-November) – Wildflowers and comfortable temperatures make this an excellent season for coastal driving. The increased daylight hours provide ample time for exploration, while road conditions are generally optimal after winter maintenance.
Creating Memories That Last
During our years of providing luxury supercar experiences, we’ve observed that the most memorable weekends involve more than just the vehicle itself. The combination of spectacular scenery, exceptional dining, and personal connections creates stories that clients cherish long after returning their supercar to us.
Many clients choose to commemorate their weekend with professional photography packages or commission custom artwork featuring their chosen supercar against their favorite Great Ocean Road backdrop. Others create personalized videos documenting their journey – content that frequently garners significant attention on social media platforms.
For special occasions like anniversaries or milestone celebrations, we can arrange surprise elements throughout your itinerary – from champagne at scenic viewpoints to personalized messages displayed on digital screens at partner restaurants.
The true magic of a supercar weekend along the Great Ocean Road lies in the freedom it provides – the ability to explore at your own pace, to stop where inspiration strikes, and to experience Australia’s natural beauty from behind the wheel of an extraordinary machine.
