    No problem! Everyone of us makes little mistakes everyday... very good article from one of the best car magazines. Thank you! I think we should believe Franco Cimatti when he says that it was pininfarina who invented the (famous) aero bridges, which are the best detail of this car. Why should he tell us lies... i see no reason.
    And Pininfarina had already presented a similar solution with the C-pillar of the 599 GTB Fiorano years before. Andrea Militello probably picked up this idea of the aero bridges in his first design sketches.

    Good comment! Thanks a lot! But in my opinion almost every Ferrari looks better in reality than in pics. The proportions of such a car have to be seen in real life! And this is especially true for the brand's elegant GT vehicles.

    I'd love to see a photo showing a Roma parked next to an 812 Superfast, just for comparison.

    That is simply gorgeous. A mature and sophisticated expression of Ferraris design language, as opposed to whats been coming out the past ~10 years which look like high school teenagers designed them.

    It's very elegant and very beautiful but it lacks personality, a typical Aston Martin!

    The ROMA may look more elegant, especially from the front, but the 812 looks like a real Ferrari, you will probably feel like that, an Aston parking next to una Ferrari :).

    You will provide that photo, surely it won't take long for you to see both cars together. And/or with an F12 would be equally interesting.

    We know that YOU have a problem with the look of this car. YOU expected something that is more unique and looks more like a „true“ Ferrari. I have not the same problem like you but a big problem with the new Porsche Taycan: I liked the concept so much and was very disappointed when I saw the production car, although I think it is not ugly. But I must accept that many people like the Taycan! For me the exterior of this Porsche has been done without any courage and they killed the beautiful concept. But for many people this is in fact no argument not to like and to buy it. Well, it seems for me that the Roma is your personal “Taycan Moment“...

    Would love to see one side-by-side with a 456. This design seems like a more modern version of that car... and that is a very good thing to my eyes.

    Come on that car is gorgeous and the proportions particularly look good on this angle. Only thing that would make it look better is me in the front seat.....

    Does a 330gtc or 250 look like a Ferrari?

    I hope the Portofino stays w the hardtop. Softops are terrible in South Florida. Rain leaks and easy breakin.

    The next MB SL is rumoured to be a soft top. Portofino here I come.

    I like the Taycan, in fact it looks a lot better than the Panemra! and I love electric cars, I have no problem with electric cars but I hate the cheap interior of the Tesla ! hhha
    I think the Porsche Taycan is a must have as my first future electric car! maybe in another 5 or 7 years.

    I know what u mean, the truth is the Ferrari ROMA is lacking personalty, it's very beautiful, also looks very elegant especially from the front, but It belong to Another manufacturer, probably it's Aston Martin,

    One thing and the ROMA can look 100% perfect, give it the {ASTON-MARTIN} badge on its rear glass instead of {F E R R A R I} and it will be my fav car ;)

    well, after seeing the side comparison by MDEL (thank you very much, well done), I have to say that this car is very nice: a real "Granturismo". One hundred times better looking than the FF/Lusso. Ten times better looking than the 812S (but the new VS will be much better looking than the S, this is not a very difficult goal to achieve...). Looks like a modern and better looking 456GT.

    Still looks at my eyes like an Aston, I still think this one should have been the new Maserati Alfieri, but it's a great looking elegant and classy car indeed

    ciao

    Roma is clearly trying to open a new niche for Ferrari, so it has a bit of a different styling language. It definitely has similarities to Aston, but I think it just looks more Italian. I also think they successfully took some of the Monza styling and brought it to a more attainable vehicle.

    I would like to see the Roma in person before making a decision, but I think overall Roma is good looking! Whats amazing to me is Ferrari is showing they can "walk and chew gum" at the same time (meaning doing two different things).
