Seen this road before, twice I think, either here or on youtube (probably both):

1. hill climb race with the starting line being where you were at about 38 seconds (leaving village)
2. definitely a French video comparing a 959 against some Italian car (OK it was an F40)

What a popular spot.

Nice drive! You never know if there will be livestock lurking around a corner. Beautiful country! How far is Ticino from Arzo?

Ticino is a canton. Arzo is a village in the canton of Ticino. Ticino is the only Italian-speaking canton of Switzerland.

The region of Lugano leads the world in the density of Porsches sold per inhabitants. More than even California... Population of 60,000. Walk along the Quai and time of the day, and you will see an impressive array of Ferraris, Aston Martins, Porsches, Lamborghinis, etc. At least one every 2-3 minutes...

Was in Lugano fro 3 months last year Amazing array of cars driven around the lake side for shopping runs. And another favorite of mine is a regular car there. The Audi RS6 Avant, the one with the twin turbo V10 with quattro drive. And station wagon to boot.Used as a family car for ever mom that is getting her groceries.
What a way to run up the hills with that engine. Unfortunately it is not sold in the USA. But certainly a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Great driving around Lago Lugano, Maggiore etc.

Lucky man you are
