The car
About this car in Florence
Hotel garages inside the Florentine viali are often tight ramps cut into old palazzi, and that is exactly where a compact hot hatch earns its place. The A45 S is barely longer than an ordinary family hatchback, so it slips into spaces where a G-Class or an SL would not, yet it carries 421 hp from a 2.0-litre twin-turbo four and sends it to all four wheels. The whole centre is a camera-controlled ZTL: ask your hotel to register the plate before you arrive, or take the car outside the zone.
Its natural road starts north of the city. The SS65 climbs over the Futa and Raticosa passes towards Bologna, the route of the old Mille Miglia, with long sequences of bends where 4MATIC+ traction and a 3.9-second sprint to 100 km/h let you leave each corner cleanly. The limit on roads like this is 90 km/h, so the pleasure lies in the grip and the quick-shifting gearbox rather than the 270 km/h top speed. For a short evening outing, climb through San Domenico to Fiesole and watch the sun set over the domes below.
Signed Apennine roads require winter tyres from 15 November to 15 April, and this car wears them in the cold season. Three medium cases and a small one fit in the boot. We meet you at Firenze Peretola, Pisa Galileo Galilei, Santa Maria Novella station or your hotel, as arranged when you book, with insurance included and 24/7 assistance.
- 421 hp and 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive in a compact five-seater
- Small enough for the narrow hotel garages inside the ZTL
- At its best on the SS65 over the Futa and Raticosa passes

Drives from Florence, the best months and when to book
Suited to this car
- The Val d'Orcia (about 110 km from Florence): Pienza, Montalcino and San Quirico among UNESCO-listed hills; some estates are reached on gravel roads.
- Siena and San Gimignano (about 70 km from Florence): The motorway link to Siena and Piazza del Campo, then the medieval towers of San Gimignano among the Vernaccia vineyards; both old towns are limited traffic zones, so you park outside the walls.
- Volterra (about 75 km from Florence): From Colle di Val d'Elsa the SR68 winds up to the Etruscan town of alabaster, perched above the eroded cliffs and the Pisan countryside.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I drive the A45 S to my hotel in central Florence?
Only if the hotel registers your plate for access to its own garage inside the ZTL; otherwise the cameras record the entry and a fine arrives weeks later. Send us the address and we will confirm where the car can be handed over.
Is the A45 S a good choice for the Futa pass in winter?
Yes. It has all-wheel drive and winter tyres in the cold season, which signed Apennine roads require between 15 November and 15 April. On ice or snow, keep the pace gentle all the same.
Can I take delivery of the Mercedes-AMG A45 S at Firenze Peretola (FLR)?
Yes: at Firenze Peretola (FLR), about 5 km from the centre; at Pisa Galileo Galilei (PSA); or at your hotel or villa in Florence. You set the place and the time when you book.
