Ferrari Roma Review — An Italian Super GT With The Soul Of A Supercar

The Ferrari Roma is a new chapter in Ferrari’s legacy, blending timeless elegance with cutting-edge technology and exhilarating performance. Positioned as a grand tourer, the Roma is Ferrari’s attempt to offer a car that not only thrills but also oozes sophistication, making it accessible to a wider audience of luxury car enthusiasts. 

With a striking design and the heart of a true Ferrari, the Roma is aimed at those seeking a balance between daily usability and thrilling performance. It’s a perfect embodiment of “La Nuova Dolce Vita,” Ferrari’s interpretation of modern luxury living. We have reviewed the Ferrari Roma and you can find one for sale on DubiCars.

The Ferrari Roma’s exterior design showcases minimalism and elegance. The long, sculpted hood and fastback roofline create an exciting silhouette. Ferrari has done away with aggressive design cues seen in their other models, opting instead for clean lines and subtle curves.

At the front, the wide grille gives the Roma a distinctive look, flanked by sharp, narrow LED headlights that enhance its sleek profile. From the side, flush door handles and smooth bodywork emphasize aerodynamics, while the short rear overhang keeps the proportions balanced. 

The rear of the Roma is equally stunning, with slim, horizontal taillights and a neatly integrated active spoiler that only deploys at high speeds. The coupe super-GT rides on 20-inch dual-tone alloy wheels.

Inside, the Ferrari Roma offers a driver-focused cabin that merges luxury with cutting-edge technology. The dual-cockpit layout divides the space between the driver and passenger, creating distinct zones that enhance the experience for both. This review car’s red and black interior adds a sporty yet refined feel, with high-quality materials like leather, Alcantara, and carbon fibre everywhere you look.

The 16-inch curved digital instrument cluster gives the driver all the necessary information in a sleek, futuristic format. The vertically mounted 8.4-inch infotainment touchscreen provides control over media, climate, and navigation, all presented in an intuitive, user-friendly interface. Additionally, the optional passenger display allows the co-pilot to feel part of the driving experience, with controls for entertainment and real-time driving data.

The Roma’s seats are comfortable yet sporty, perfect for long drives, and the cabin is well-insulated, providing a quieter experience compared to Ferrari’s more track-focused models. Although the Roma is officially classified as a 2+2 coupe, the rear seats are very small and not intended for long journeys with adults.

At the heart of the Ferrari Roma is a 3.9-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine, delivering an exhilarating 612hp and 760Nm of torque. This allows the Roma to sprint from 0 to 100km/h in just 3.2 seconds and achieve a top speed of 320 km/h.

The engine is paired with an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, which offers quicker and smoother shifts than its predecessor. The gearbox is designed to be both fast and refined, making it ideal for spirited driving as well as comfortable cruising.

The Roma’s twin-turbo V8 offers immediate power delivery with minimal turbo lag. The engine’s responsiveness is perfectly complemented by the 8-speed gearbox, which shifts seamlessly when driving in comfort mode. In Race mode, the gearbox sharpens, delivering crisp and fast gear changes, perfect for spirited driving.

Despite its grand tourer status, the Ferrari Roma handles like a true sports car. Its 50:50 weight distribution ensures balanced cornering, while the Side Slip Control 6.0 system allows for controlled oversteer, giving the driver confidence at the limit. The suspension system provides a perfect balance between comfort and sportiness, soaking up bumps while offering precise handling.

Ferrari’s carbon-ceramic brakes provide exceptional stopping power. Even after prolonged use, they remain fade-free, delivering consistent and confident braking performance, whether you’re driving at high speeds or in city traffic.

The Ferrari Roma offers an ideal balance of performance, comfort, and elegance, making it a versatile supercar that you can comfortably drive daily or take on a spirited weekend adventure. The Roma carries every bit of Ferrari’s legacy of speed and power but is taken into a different timeless direction.
