The Ferrari Roma was previewed in November 2019 during an event organized in the capital. Designed by Ferrari Style Center under the direction of Flavio Manzoni, it has a grand touring coupé setting with references to historic Maranello cars, such as the 250 GT Berlinetta and 250 GTL.
Thanks to its typically Italian style, the Ferrari Roma was conceived to reinterpret in a contemporary key the lifestyle of the Eternal City typical of the 50s and 60s, characterized by lightheartedness and the pleasure of living. The interior of the passenger compartment, characterized by a two-seater setting plus two behind, presents well tre display: one acts as a dashboard, another has been positioned in the center console in a vertical position while the third is horizontally in front of the passenger seat.
A unique and inimitable style is combined with an equally exceptional engine: a 3855 cm3 Ferrari F154 twin-turbo V8. The engine is arranged longitudinally in the front-center position and provides a power of 620 horsepower with a maximum torque of 769 Nm.
The Roma is equipped with an 8-speed F1 double clutch transmission, the same as the Ferrari SF90 Stradale, the first hybrid of the Prancing Horse. The numbers are mind-boggling: the maximum speed is 320 km / h, while acceleration allows it to go from 0 to 100 km / h in 3.4 seconds flat.
