The car
About this car in Rome
On the narrow roads that ring Rome — the Castelli, the Monti Lucretili, the Tuscia — a light mid-engined roadster is not obviously the slower choice. The Boxster weighs far less than anything else in this fleet, and 300 hp is more than these roads let you use in a car twice its size.
It is also the easiest sports car here to live with in the city: short, narrow, and with two boots front and rear totalling 300 litres, which is more usable luggage space than most of the supercars offer.
Delivery is organised around your arrival and quoted at booking. It is the least expensive way to rent a genuinely good sports car.
