Rent a Ferrari 296 GTS Spider in Florence

The 296 GTS closes into a spider with the same unhurried mechanism every time — roof folding flat in seconds, the plug-in hybrid V6 settling back into near-silence once the electric motor takes over at low speed. It's a different kind of drama from the marque's larger V8 cars: 830 hp arrives in a tighter, more immediate package, and the low centre of gravity makes the short climb up to Fiesole feel like a warm-up rather than a challenge. With the top down, the sound changes register as the turbos spool in, then drops away entirely on electric power through quieter stretches — a car that rewards attention rather than demanding it. We hold two examples of the 296 GTS in the collection, both recent-series cars kept in daily-ready condition rather than shown once and retired. Rates start from €1,900 per day, with the usual security deposit and insurance terms explained in full before signing, so there's no ambiguity at handover. Collection is arranged away from the historic centre — at Florence Peretola, on arrival at Pisa, or kerbside at a Lungarno-area hotel — which avoids the ZTL cameras and the absence of centro parking altogether. For anyone flying in for a wedding, a private event, or simply a weekend built around driving rather than sightseeing, this is the version of the 296 that asks the least and gives back the most: a spider suited to slow evening laps through Fiesole as much as a full day out on the SS222 toward Chianti, roof down for as much of it as the weather allows. Booking for a single day or stringing together a longer route through Tuscany works the same way — mileage terms and return conditions are set out clearly ahead of pickup, so the only real decision left is which road to take first.
