Porsche 992 Carrera 4 GTS Cabrio — Rome

The 992 Carrera 4 GTS Cabrio is Porsche's argument that a convertible can be genuinely athletic. All-wheel drive, the sharper GTS chassis tune, and a flat-six that sounds like it means every word — drop the top on the Via Appia Nuova heading south toward Castelli Romani and the car makes its case within the first few hundred metres. It rewards a firm hand on corner entry and settles into long, confident arcs where lesser open-tops would fidget. Our 2024 example is the only variant we carry, and it starts from €750 per day. Four usable seats and a folding soft-top that stows in seconds make it more versatile than most sports cars in the fleet: useful if a morning meeting at EUR gives way to an afternoon drive through Frascati's volcanic hills, or a longer run toward Tivoli before the light drops. The all-wheel-drive system earns its keep on damp spring mornings around lake Albano, adding traction without dulling the steering. Handover is straightforward at Fiumicino, Ciampino, or a pre-arranged hotel outside Rome's ZTL-restricted centro — we'll walk you through the camera zones and parking options near Termini or Vatican-side so you avoid fines. For anyone considering an early-start push toward the Amalfi Coast or an overnight in Orvieto, the GTS Cabrio covers motorway kilometres with genuine composure; the adaptive dampers and sport exhaust give you two very different personalities depending on the mode you choose. This is a car that photographs well outside a candlelit restaurant on a quiet Prati side street, but it's better experienced from behind the wheel, top down, somewhere between the city and the coast.
