We are going from Bologna to Ortisei on Saturday 2nd of August with car. We would like to stop by Ferrari museum, Lamborghini museum and factory and Pagani. I could understand there are two Lamborghini and Ferrari museums. My question is:
which Lamborghini and Ferrari should we visit
How long time do we need in each place
And how to plan the drive between them starting from Bologna
Is it possible to finish 4 places by 2pm as we have to head toward Ortisei.
Thanks in advance

You can search in the forum for a lot of these answers. I do not think you can do all 4 places by 2 pm.... check the opening hours and even though the distances may seem short it takes time to get from the small town outside of Bologna where Lamborghini is to the other places. I believe there are two Ferrari museums... Enzo's house in Modena and where the factory is in Maranello. My husband has visited all that you mentioned but I only went to Lamborghini museum and factory (fabulous tour) and the Enzo Ferrari museum (also enjoyed it). You can't rush the factory tour at Lamborghini.... it is an organized tour. Our visits were on different days but see what others say. Too whirlwind for me.

My two cents: the Brenner highway is a zoo in August weekends, and it is easy to develop bumper to bumper queues tenths of kilometers long. I would consider leaving as early as possible and try to get to Ortisei before too many queues develop. Alternatively you could try to take things leisurely and wait for queues to dissolve, but it is a risky bet and you risk arriving in Ortisei very late. In a case, several years ago, I could not even complete an Innsbruck to Milan itinerary on the last August Saturday; at 2pm we were just past Bolzano and we gave up, spending a night in Cavalese.

If you have a full day you can do 4 stops, but only half a day is too short.
Try to connect the different places on Google Map and you will se that Bologna-Lamborghini-Pagani-Maranello-Modena means almost 2 hours of driving time only. On top of that you must calculate the time for the visits.
Usually I calculate 1 hour in each museum (a little less in Lamborghini that is smaller, a little more in Maranello). Pagani factory tour last about one hour and half. Of course: if you want to do everything in a much shorter time is up to you.
Check the Pagani factory tour timetable and build the other visits according to that.
From 1st to 23rd of August Lamborghini factory is closed for the Summer holidays, so that visit cannot be done.
