Believe it or not but prospective Aston Martin DB11 owners are actually paying for the test drive, albeit in Tuscany.
Also, Turkish daredevil breaks Land Speed Record on brand new Izmit Bay Bridge. Shirtless flip flop drivers in Spain should watch out. Luxembourg on look-out registration-dodging foreign resident. Jams up big time in the Netherlands. Early opening for Iceland mountain roads.

The two night, three day ‘At Home with Aston Martin: Drive DB11’ trip is based at the 15th century Villa Collalto, 45 minutes south west of Florence and not far from Siena.
On the morning or afternoon of the second day, drivers take the wheel through a landscape described as a ‘rural idyll of olive groves, castles and vineyards’ with a chance to ‘explore the winding routes, hilltop villages and stunning views of Tuscany.’
