The car
About this car in Florence
The SS65 over the Futa Pass was one of the Mille Miglia's great stages, and a front-engined British GT climbing out of Florence towards Bologna fits that history better than most cars. The DB12 S puts 700 hp through the rear wheels from its twin-turbo V8, so the long sweepers above San Piero a Sieve suit it more than the tight hairpins: think of it as a car for flowing roads and long distances, not for nibbling at bends.
On the other side of Tuscany, the Viale dei Cipressi runs five kilometres from San Guido to Bolgheri. It is an easy two-hour drive from Florence, and the 206-litre boot takes soft bags for two plus a couple of bottles from the wineries along the coast. Italian motorways stop at 130 km/h, so the 325 km/h top speed is irrelevant; the 3.5-second sprint is what makes overtaking on the Aurelia effortless.
As a rear-wheel-drive car it is happiest from spring to autumn, although winter tyres are fitted in the cold season. In January and June, during Pitti Uomo, demand in Florence peaks, so book early. The historic centre is a ZTL: the car waits in your hotel's garage if the hotel registers the plate, or we hand it over at Firenze Peretola, Pisa Galileo Galilei or Santa Maria Novella station, as arranged when you book.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I drive the DB12 S to my hotel in central Florence?
Only if your hotel has its own garage inside the ZTL and registers the plate before you arrive. Otherwise we hand the car over outside the zone, at Peretola airport or Santa Maria Novella.
Is the DB12 S a good choice for a winter trip from Florence?
Winter tyres are fitted in the cold season, but it is a 700 hp rear-wheel-drive two-seater. For Apennine roads in snow, an all-wheel-drive SUV is the better pick.
