Luxury automaker Porsche has staged its debut and test drive of its all-new Boxster S in Western Sicily with the debut headquarters seated in the resplendent Kempinski Hotel Giardino di Costanza in Mazara del Vallo.
As wih the new Ferrari "California" model some months ago, journalists from all over the world had the chance to test drive the Boxster S as well along the spectacular routes that lead from Palermo to Mazara and Trapani.
"We are proud to have been chosen for two such most prestigious events like the presentation of the latest models of Porsche and Ferrari,” said Paolo Sanavia, General Manager of the Kempinski Hotel Giardino di Costanza.
"Western Sicily–which has gone unrecognized until now–has all the right ingredients for this type of event: mild climate, magnificent scenery and panoramic roads, all of which are perfectly complemented by the Kempinski Giardino di Costanza with its luxury, its architecture, its wide range of services and ample, recently refurbished convention facilities, on a par with those offered by the biggest international hotels. Not to mention our warm Sicilian hospitality, and the many rich flavours typical of this land."
The backdrop to the test drives is stunning featuring long stretches of highway, demanding mixed-high speed runs and roads that twist and turn all the way up to Erice, then the evocative salt flats with their windmills silhouetted against the blue sky and the Greek temples of Segesta.
The Kempinski hotel is the first 5-star luxury resort and congress centre in Western Sicily. After Ferrari’s event, the Porsche Boxster S launch further boosts its credibility as one of the places to celebrate significant events.
