The car
About this car in Florence
Buyers and press arriving for Pitti Uomo in January or June need a car that does the airport, the Fortezza da Basso and the hotel without fuss, and that will not tire them on the drive back to Milan or Bologna afterwards. The Q8 S line Edition is built for that brief: a 286 hp 3.0 V6 TDI, quattro drive and an automatic gearbox, with a boot that swallows four medium suitcases and a small one, samples included.
When the fair is over, the same car turns into a weekend companion. Lucca is under an hour along the A11; walk the Renaissance walls in the morning, then continue to the Versilia coast for lunch with the Apuan Alps behind. The V6 diesel is quiet at 130 km/h and efficient enough that you will rarely stop for fuel, while 0–100 km/h in 6.3 seconds keeps motorway merging easy.
In the cold season winter tyres are fitted, so January Pitti and a detour over the Apennines are covered. The centre inside the viali is a ZTL with cameras; hotels there can register the plate for their own garage. Handover at Firenze Peretola, Pisa Galileo Galilei or Santa Maria Novella is arranged when you book, with insurance included.
- 286 hp V6 TDI quattro for Pitti Uomo week and beyond
- Boot for four medium suitcases plus one small

Best months for this car
It hardly ever snows in Florence and lows stay above freezing: here you choose an SUV for space, luggage and comfort, not for traction.
