Travelling in Turin with a Car Rental

Turin is famous for its sleek sports cars, so much so that proud Italians will often call the city the "Automobile Capital." The winding hills around the city make for an incredible driving experience; furthermore, Turin is home to famed auto manufacturers Fiat and Lancia.

Fiat's history dates back to the late 19th century, and Lancia began production only a few years later. The legacies of both companies are well represented in Turin's Museo dell' Automobile. Among its various antiques, the museum houses the Lancia Lambda, winner of the 1907 Peking to Paris Rally. The highlight of the museum however, may be its collection of 1950's Formula One racecars. The Museo dell' Automobile is home to over 170 classic cars that will inspire you to do some touring of your own, and you can do just that in a discount car hire from Auto Europe.
