Ferrari SF90 Spider — Rome

Nearly a thousand horsepower in a car you can drive with the roof down. The 2024 Ferrari SF90 Spider delivers 986 hp through a plug-in hybrid powertrain that pairs a twin-turbo V8 with three electric motors — a technical statement that also happens to be one of the most visceral open-top driving experiences currently available. What makes the SF90 Spider compelling as a rental is the duality. In electric mode, it moves through city streets with surprising composure — useful when navigating Rome's tighter quarters or pulling up to a restaurant on Via Veneto without the theatrical exhaust note. Switch to full power and the car transforms entirely. The acceleration is immediate and relentless, the kind of force that makes the straight section of the A1 toward Orvieto feel very short. This is a two-seat convertible, purpose-built and low-slung. It suits a couple spending a long weekend between Rome and the coast, or anyone marking an occasion where the car itself is part of the event. It is not an SUV for winding through Castelli Romani with luggage in the back — it is the car you choose when the drive is the point. Handover works best at Fiumicino Airport or a hotel outside the ZTL-controlled historic centre, where restricted-access cameras make kerbside delivery impractical without permits. From Fiumicino, you are roughly 30 km from central Rome and well positioned for a southbound route toward Naples or the Amalfi approaches — though that 250+ km run deserves an overnight stay rather than an ambitious day trip. One variant is available in our Rome fleet, starting from €2,500 per day. Given the car's output and profile, expect a thorough briefing on deposit and insurance terms before collection. This is a serious machine with serious responsibilities attached — and that is exactly what makes driving it worth every euro.
