Ferrari's new mid-front-engined coupe /

Ferrari Roma

The Ferrari Roma was revealed during a dedicated client event held in Italy's iconic capital. The new mid-front-engined 2+ coupé features refined proportions and timeless design combined with unparalleled performance and handling.

Not only is the Ferrari Roma an icon of Italian design, but it also represents the pinnacle of performance in this category, thanks to its turbo-charged V8 from the family of engines that has won the overall International Engine of the Year award four years running. In this version, the engine reaches 620 cv at 7500 rpm and is coupled with the new 8-speed DCT gearbox that was introduced on the SF90 Stradale.

With its distinctive flair and style, the car is a contemporary representation of the carefree, pleasurable way of life that characterised Rome in the 1950s and '60s. The Ferrari Roma offers discerning clients the finesse and refinement that brings the concept of "la Dolce Vita" right up to date.

New Ferrari Roma is 200mph+ front-engined coupe

New front-engined machine, which produces 602bhp from Ferrari's V8 turbo motor, is claimed to offer "unparalleled performance"

Ferrari has revealed a new 602bhp mid-front-engined coupé called the Roma; it's effectively a fixed roof version of the Portofino with substantially reworked styling.

The Italian firm described the machine as a "2+" coupé featuring “refined proportions and timeless design”, with the Italian firm also promising “unparalleled performance and handling.” The Roma gains a bold grille at the end of its elongated front, and sharp lines over the bold wheel arches.

The Roma is powered by a revamped version of the 3.9-litre turbocharged V8 unit as in the Portofino drop-top, albeit using the eight-speed DCT gearbox that was introduced on the SF90 Stradale.

In the Roma, the unit delivers 602bhp between 5750 and 7500rpm, with 591lb ft of torque between 3000 and 5750rpm.

That output is up from 592bhp and 561lb ft in the Portofino. Ferrari claims a 0-62mph time of 3.4secs, and a top speed of more than 199mph. The version of this powerplant used in the recently launched F8 Tributo produces 710bhp.

Notably, the Roma has a dry weight of just 1472kg with lightweight options fitted; that's a little less than 200kg lighter than the Portofino. It measures 4656mm long and is 1974mm wide, with a wheelbase of 2670mm.

So far, Ferrari has only released limited details of the Roma, along with a small number of images. The only interior shot so far shows a dramatically sculpted cockpit featuring a digital instrument display and a touchscreen mounted at the front of a large centre console.

 
Ferrari Roma Revealed With 611 HP (456 KW) Turbo V8

Ferrari has revealed a new mid-front-engined coupé called the Roma which as expected it effectively a fixed-roof version of the Portofino with substantially reworked styling.

They describe it as a “2+” coupé featuring “refined proportions and timeless design”, with the Italian firm also promising “unparalleled performance and handling.” The Roma gains a bold grille at the end of its elongated front, and sharp lines over the bold wheel arches. There’s no confirmation of rear seats yet, although the ‘2+’ designation and a headrest silhouette in one of the photos do suggest their presence.

Under the hood sits a reworked version of the 3.9-litre turbocharged V8 as found in the Portofino but it is connected to the eight-speed DCT gearbox that was introduced on the SF90 Stradale.

It produces 611 hp (456 kW) and 760 Nm of torque which is good enough to get it to 100 km/h in just 3.4 seconds. Zero to 200 km/h takes just 9.3 seconds and it will go all the way to a little over 320 km/h if you keep your foot buried.

 
Is Ferrari ditching its round taillights completely?
 
Ferrari Roma revealed! Meet Maranello’s new front-engined V8 coupé

Ferrari has pulled back the covers from the Roma, a fresh-faced newcomer arriving as a front-engined V8 coupé.

The Roma is the Maranello-based firm’s fifth new model of 2019, slotting in just above the Portofino to take on the likes of Aston Martin’s Vantage and Mercedes-AMG’s hottest GT coupé.

Drawing its urge from a version of Ferrari’s twin-turbo 3,9-litre V8 engine (mated with an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission that debuted on the SF90 Stradale), the Roma offers 456 kW between 5 750 and 7 500 r/min, along with 760 N.m from 3 000 to 5 750 r/min.

That’s enough, says Ferrari, for a sprint from zero to 100 km/h in a claimed 3,4 seconds, with the 200 km/h mark reached in a claimed 9,3 seconds. Top speed, meanwhile, is listed as "more than" 320 km/h. The firm claims a dry weight (with unspecified lightweight options fitted) of 1 472 kg.

 
The back is meh...the front looks like a McLaren 720s with the Aston Martin "sad-face" grill.

New two-seater, which produces 612bhp from Ferrari's V8 turbo motor, is claimed to offer "unparalleled performance"

Ferrari has revealed a new 612bhp V8 front-engined coupé called the Roma. While it shares some underpinnings with the Portofino drop-top, the new machine features bold new styling and is described by the Italian firm as an all-new model.

The two-door Roma, which is set to rival the Aston Martin Vantage and Mercedes-AMG GT, features a bold grille at the end of its elongated front bonnet, with sharp lines over the bold wheel arches. The back features a sloping rear window, distinctive narrow lights and quad exhausts. An active rear spoiler, integrated into the rear screen, deploys automatically at high speeds for optimal downforce.

Ferrari Roma built for drivers who ‘might be afraid of’ sportscars

A high-ranking Ferrari executive says the new front-engined Roma coupé was designed to appeal to drivers who “might be a bit afraid” of sportscars.

Speaking to Autocar at the reveal of the newest addition to Maranello’s stable, Enrico Galliera, Ferrari’s chief marketing and commercial officer, said the V8-powered Roma would appeal to those who had “never driven a sportscar”.

 
Looks more like an Aston or Maserati. A bit too flowy for Ferrari.
 
New Ferrari Roma Key Will Make Sure People Know You Drive A Ferrari

Some people like to be discreet about what they are driving and some like to put it out there. If you happen to be the latter then buy yourself the new Ferrari Roma and “forget” your key on the table.

As you can see in the images included, the key is an in-your-face palm-sized Ferrari badge on one side and leather on the other.
