Rent a sports car in Nuremberg: why Performance Rentals?
Nuremberg is the heart of Franconia, the Imperial Castle towering over the old town, sandstone walls along the Pegnitz, Christmas markets that draw the whole world, and a metro area packed with expats, tourists, and folks stationed nearby. It's a great city to spend a day in. It's an even better city to leave in something with 600 horsepower.
Here's the thing: for a city this size, Nuremberg doesn't really have a true high-performance rental shop. The airport and Hauptbahnhof are lined with the usual chains renting beige sedans. Nobody local hands you the keys to an actual RS6 or an AMG. That's the gap we fill, a real, owned fleet about 75 minutes east in Weiden, off the A6 and A93. Not a broker shuffling somebody else's car across the country. Our cars, our keys, our handshake.
And we're built for people from out of town. US military and SOFA-status personnel are welcome: same terms as anyone else, no hoops. We take US driver's licenses. Full insurance (Vollkasko) is always included: none of that €30–€100/day "do you want coverage?" routine at the counter. And you can book your dates online in about 2 minutes, any hour of the day.
We're a small, specialized crew in Bavaria, not a call center, not a faceless portal. Message us on WhatsApp and a real human answers in minutes. We've got 5.0 stars on Google from 49 real reviews. Transparent prices from €229/day. That's it. No fine print designed to trip you up.

Rent an Audi, BMW or AMG in Nuremberg.
Got a specific badge in mind? You can pick exactly the Audi, BMW, or Mercedes-AMG you want, all with full insurance, ready to pick up in Weiden or delivered to Nuremberg for a surcharge by arrangement.
Rent an Audi in Nuremberg
Audi is practically a local, built right next door in Ingolstadt. The RS6 Avant (600 hp) turns every autobahn pass into a non-event, and the RS3 with its unmistakable five-cylinder howl is the pocket rocket for those twisty Franconian roads. Both rent with no insurance upsell. And the open-top R8 Spyder brings a naturally aspirated V10.
Rent a BMW in Nuremberg
Sun out over the Imperial Castle? Only one right answer: top down. The BMW M440d convertible packs 340 hp and a 48-volt mild hybrid, so it glides smooth and efficient through the old town and wakes right up on the open road. The easy cruiser for long summer days.
Rent a Mercedes-AMG in Nuremberg
The Mercedes-AMG E53 is the quiet one that's quick: 435 hp under a sharp sedan suit. Perfect for the business meeting in the city, the ride to a wedding, or just rolling up looking like you've got it together without shouting about it. Inline-six with EQ Boost, power that whispers.
Looking for a Mustang or a V8?
Straight answer: we don't have an American muscle car in the lot. What we do have is the all-weather, all-wheel-drive German answer to it, the 600-hp RS6 and the AMG E53. On a German autobahn, in any weather, honestly the better tool for the job. Tell us on WhatsApp what you're after and we'll point you to the right car.
