An extraordinary event recently took place in the picturesque countryside of southern Tuscany, making the hearts of car enthusiasts beat faster. The organizers of the renowned FuoriConcorso hosted an exclusive rally in which only hypercars with a top speed of over 350 km/h were permitted. This event brought together some of the rarest and most powerful vehicles in the world and offered participants an unforgettable experience in one of Italy's most beautiful regions.
Arrival in the heart of Tuscany
On March 27, the invited guests arrived at the luxurious 5-star Precise Tale Poggio alla Sala hotel, located on the outskirts of the historic town of Montepulciano. This exquisite resort, surrounded by unspoiled Tuscan nature, served as the perfect base for the rides ahead. The atmosphere was one of anticipation and excitement as the participants presented their impressive vehicles and got in the mood for the days ahead.
An impressive line-up of hypercars
The vehicles assembled were a true feast for the senses and represented the best the automotive world has to offer. Among the participants were several Bugatti models, including a Veyron Super Sport, a Veyron Vitesse and the breathtaking Chiron Super Sport, which, with a top speed of 440 km/h, was the fastest vehicle at the rally. A special highlight was a metallic blue Ferrari Testarossa Koenig Evolution. This rare model, which was modified by the German tuner Koenig Specials in 1987, has an impressive 1,000 hp and reaches a top speed of over 370 km/h - a remarkable performance for a vehicle from this era.
In addition to these icons, a Porsche 918 Spyder, a Koenigsegg CCX and the rare Pagani Utopia were also represented. Each of these vehicles stands for the highest art of engineering and embodies the pinnacle of automotive performance and design.
Exploring historical treasures and culinary delights
The first day of the rally took the participants through the breathtaking Tuscan countryside to some of the region's cultural and culinary highlights. A first stop was made at the 12th century Abbey of Sant'Antimo, an impressive example of Romanesque architecture that provided a perfect backdrop for the assembled supercars. The historic walls of the abbey stood in fascinating contrast to the modern vehicles and offered numerous photo opportunities.
The tour then continued to Tenuta Castelgiocondo, a renowned winery owned by the Frescobaldi family. Here, the participants had the opportunity to visit the traditional wine cellars and learn more about the art of winemaking. An exquisitely prepared lunch in the historic castle rounded off the visit and gave the drivers the opportunity to chat and reflect on the day's experiences.
Drive through the Crete Senesi and visit healing springs
The second day began early in the morning with the engines starting as the participants set off on further explorations. The route first led to Asciano, where the riders experienced the unique landscape of the Crete Senesi. This eroded region is characterized by its distinctive white hills and deep furrows and provided a spectacular backdrop for the passing hypercars.
A particular highlight was the visit to Bagno Vignoni, a charming village known for its natural thermal springs. Here, participants were able to enjoy the healing properties of the water and unwind in the relaxed atmosphere of the village.
Another stop was made at the Chapel of the Madonna di Vitaleta, a picturesque place known for its idyllic beauty. The peaceful surroundings and the historical significance of the chapel offered a quiet moment of reflection before the journey continued.
