The car
About this car in Florence
The RS Q8 is the car for a group that wants to drive the Apennines properly without leaving anyone behind. Its 600 hp mild-hybrid V8, quattro drive and tiptronic gearbox carry five people up the SS65 towards the Futa Pass with the same ease as a sports car, while the 605-litre boot holds everyone's bags. It reaches 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds, a number you feel even with the cabin full.
In the opposite direction, the road to Volterra is just as rewarding. From Colle di Val d'Elsa the SR68 climbs steadily to the Etruscan town above its eroded cliffs, with long views over the Pisan countryside. The car stays composed through the curves, and the drive back in the evening light, through Casole d'Elsa or via San Gimignano, makes a complete day.
Winter tyres are fitted in the cold season, so a December crossing of the Apennines is realistic. In late November the Florence Marathon closes the centre and the Arno embankments for the morning, worth knowing if you are collecting the car that day. The rest of the year the ZTL applies: we deliver to your hotel garage if registered, or to Firenze Peretola, Pisa Galileo Galilei or Santa Maria Novella.
