roma

is all about elegance and refinement and will appeal to a completely new crowd.

Ferrari already had a car that fulfilled that mandate, of course, it's called the Portofino, but the Roma will sit alongside it, representing a classier, less racy coupe option that will appeal to an even wider variety of people, Even the name has great appeal. They chose the name Rome. because they want people to fantasize about driving in one of the most beautiful cities in the world, rome, ciao bella grazie, when you think about getting into a normal

ferrari

hypercar, there is so much pressure when you think about jumping into the a

roma

that you think about showing up. to your favorite casino, the movie premiere, the cinema looking new, turning heads and on the way there, what you will find is a car that is quiet, has a smooth eight-speed dual-clutch transmission, carbon brakes which are easy to modulate, comfortable steering, light and easy to use. park either in your hands or in the hands of the valet of your favorite five-star hotel, but the roma is not just for special occasions, it is not built according to the principles of the nine dolce vita, which is Italian for living your The best Ferrari life wants you to drive, wear and enjoy your scent every day and in every way you see with the Roma, you can do anything, you can pop down to the local high street shop, you can go on a romantic trip and sunbathing. and views with a loved one reminiscing about old times while thinking about the future, you can frolic together in a beautiful meadow in the Italian Alps, get lost in the moment, fall deeper into each other's spell or enjoy a picnic, perhaps challenge yourself each other to a game. of whatever this is before taking the next step getting to know each other's families to show how committed you are to each other before taking things where your feelings and emotions take you yes this is the car with The one you'll want to spend time with and who could blame you when it looks like this, it's one of the most beautiful Ferraris we've seen in a long time, certainly the one with the potential for the most appeal.

Its design is cohesive, muscular, eye-catching in a way that doesn't look too flashy. The front grille is reminiscent of the classics updated with a protruding shark nose effect, the headlights feature modern Matrix LED technology with a discreet DRL, the sides are simple, taut and muscular and the rear sports brake lights. newly designed, a large diffuser and a three-position active spoiler. Practical with the two plus two layout, these rear seats are for kids or if you're feeling less cruel, bags and enough space in the boot for a couple of small suitcases, the interior is lovely too, I'll be honest, many Ferraris are quite Similar.

Up to this point they have been good but not spectacular, but the Roma is sensational inside. I especially like what they have done with this double cabin design which makes it look like you are in two separate individual seats placed side by side on top of which you have lovely materials, excellent Italian craftsmanship and this is amazing the way it is metal gate shifter is designed to look like an old school manual gearbox, plus check out the key which is absolutely beautiful, the technology is really good too. This is actually quite similar to what you find in the new SF90 Stradali hypercar, so you get two screens.

The main screen is this 8.4-inch vertical screen on the center console and here you'll find all the access to audio, navigation, climate and then behind the wheel is a huge, beautiful curved 16-inch screen. Now it can show you all your usual information, like your rev counter, your maps and your driving data, but if you use this touch-sensitive section on the steering wheel, you can enter a view maximum mode and basically exploit any individual element you want to zoom in on, too. The steering wheel is worth talking about, almost all the buttons apart from the gauges and wipers are now capacitive, it's like a touch screen, but it's located on the steering wheel, even the engine.

The home button is no longer physical and the manatino looks how cute the beautiful little delicate manatino is. The final screen I want to talk about is located on the passenger side. This now gives your passenger access to settings, navigation, audio controls and performance. Show them how fast you're going very smart but probably a little useless because let's face it, they don't have to look at the screen to know how fast you're going, they'll feel like the power is coming from an old favorite. It is a 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 that here generates 620 horsepower and 780 Nm of torque.

It is a suitably powerful engine. This is zero to 62, 3.4 seconds, not 124 miles per hour, 9.3. It's not supercar territory, but trust me, this thing is fast. the power delivery in this car is really linear, it's not pointy at all, you can trust this car almost at all times and many Ferraris generate such big and explosive power that when you put the pedal to the metal, even in a straight line, the part rear end wants to trade extremes with you, but in this it's super linear, you could put your mother in this car, ask you to step on it and there wouldn't be any drama.

The Roma uses a new eight-speed dual-clutch transmission based on the one in the SF90. It is tuned to be more enjoyable in dynamic driving, more comfortable in the city and more economical with gear ratios that are deliberately longer in the higher gears. high to improve the economy. My only problem with the gearbox is that the shift is too long apparently the gearing is now four percent shorter than the portofino, but in this it still feels long. I'll show you what I mean. Now I'm in sixth gear doing 1000 rpm, fifth thousand and a little bit of rpm, fourth two thousand. third rpm three thousand rpm is only until you get to second gear when the car is really ready to accelerate everywhere else you floor it and have to wait.

I've never been in a Ferrari where I could push the throttle for so long and I don't die, having said that it can be rewarding to keep the engine revs high to extract maximum performance from this car. The twin-turbo V8 generates 760 Nm of torque from 3,000 rpm to just 6,000, with maximum power arriving at 7,500 rpm. so it's worth using all the revs and letting the v8 sing the exhaust not so loud or so aggressive, it sounds good, maybe it's part of the discreet nature of this car, but the roma uses a gpf, a particulate filter of gas to help you Clean up your emissions, but the byproduct of that is that the car doesn't sound as aggressive as you might expect.

Now Ferrari has been smart, trying to recapture some of that sound by removing the rear muffler and installing an active exhaust flap. It works to a point, but this is definitely a car for people who like an understated look and understated sound. They use optional magneto-rheological adaptive dampers on this car; In other words, when you're going straight, it's soft and supple, but when you're cornering hard, it essentially uses an electromagnetic reaction to firm up the shock fluid and reduce body roll and it works brilliantly, being a Ferrari. , the romas have the famous

ferrari

manentino and this one is super nice, it also has it for the first time in a ferrari gt five configurations, wet and off comfort sport race, the first two modes are the ones you want to be in if you are relatively new to high performance cars or if you drive in bad weather but want to have some fun.

Put him in the race and suddenly Roma transforms. Handling is the Roma's strongest asset for a car that isn't aimed at people who like to drive fast. It's really wonderful to drive fast. The car generates 95 kilograms of downforce thanks to underbody vortex generators and a rear wing with low, medium and high downforce settings that are chosen depending on speed and degree of camber,

ultimate

ly the The car has a tendency to understeer, which can be tricky on these slippery Italian roads, but the steering has plenty of feedback to allow it to detect and mitigate that loss of grip and with so much power available, oversteer is just a boot's acceleration away if so.

You want it in race mode and especially with the traction control off the car becomes incredibly fun and will throw all kinds of shapes and it's not pointy. In the slightest, this is a car that is progressive, it is easy to control, it could be the most accessible Ferrari of all time, the Roma is a departure for Ferrari, this is not your typical high-strung prancing horse designed to decimate the competition in motorsports, has more nuances. tramps to go to the theater make a splash on the red carpet go to your favorite casino have a nice romantic picnic it's basically to do what you want to do when you want to do it what do they say la nine dolce vita, yes, Rome is about living Your best life, checkmate, look at me like that.
