Gold Coast is a historic Chicago neighborhood bounded on the east by Lake Shore Drive and beautiful Lake Michigan. As a neighborhood, Gold Coast rose from the ashes of the Great Chicago Fire, and has since become one of the city’s most iconic neighborhoods. Filled with mansions, high rises, and plenty of historic architecture, the area offers plenty to see along its picture-perfect streets, and it’s all made that much better when you’re observing from the seat of a world-class supercar. Of course, the indisputable highlight of driving a Ferrari along the Gold Coast is the stunning view from Lake Shore Drive.
Gold Coast ends where Lake Michigan begins, and Lake Shore Drive seems like it was built to offer a taste of the finer views the city has to offer from a world-class sports car — and so much better if you can feel the wind in your hair from a convertible like the Ferrari Portofino.
If you drive south to north along Lake Shore Drive, you’ll be closer to the lake and you’ll be able to experience the grandeur of it and the city in the best way possible: with a clear view of both. You can take in much of the city this way, winding your way by through Gold Coast, by Lincoln Park, Boystown, and Uptown, and finally into Edgewater, at which point you can turn toward Ravenswood or simply turn around and enjoy the coastal ride from the other direction.
One of the more appealing attractions in the area is the West Loop, which is a prime destination for Foodies. Dining options in the area are diverse, with options running the gamut. A few highlights include:
The area is also rife with nightlife destinations and music venues. And with Continental AutoSports Ferrari hosting regular events in the area, the idea of heading to West Loop during your time out on the road is that much more appealing.

This Ferrari race car’s design picks up where the 296 GTB leaves off—but the GT3 achieves a lower center of gravity with a unique 120-degree V6 configuration, which houses the turbochargers within the mid-rear-mounted V.
