Select participants and date
The CruiserCar eases away from Porta Nuova and Palermo rearranges itself in the rearview—stone facades soften, cathedrals sharpen, and the sea seems to wink from below. The city sits open like a map folded along centuries: a Norman basilica here, a Baroque square there, and alleys where markets still trade in loud, bright negotiation. Riding in the world's first 9-seater cabriolet feels theatrical without being fussy: wind in your hair, a local Cicerone marking where empires met and left their marks.
