    Ready to join the Ferrari XX Programme.

    The Ferrari XX Programme was launched in 2005 as a series of exclusive events for a small number of special and very wealthy customers of the brand. It allows them to drive specially prepared machines on tracks such as Barcelona, Mugello, Spa-Francorchamps, and Paul Ricard. The 2022 season of the program includes more than 20 different events around the world and we have an interesting proposition for a new addition to the vehicle lineup.

    Our friend Magnus Concepts from Germany – whose other projects can be seen on his Instagram page – sent us a batch of renderings, depicting a race version of the Ferrari Roma. Called the Roma XX, the supercar features an aggressive aerodynamic package, a lowered suspension, and other tweaks. It is finished in a very unusual blue color, though we have to admit it does look good.

    Starting with the front end, the stylish fascia of the factory Roma leaves room for a completely redesigned fascia with a wide and aggressive bumper diffuser. In the center, there’s no longer a body-colored grille and the headlights have gained new yellow LED elements.

    At the back, the changes are even more notable with a completely redesigned lower section of the fascia featuring two central exhaust pipes as opposed to the stock quad exhaust pipe arrangement. Also, there’s a giant fixed-wing and darkened taillights. The diffuser has two big slats and large air openings.

    An Alternative Take On The Rom
    In stock form, the Roma has a 3.9-liter twin-turbocharged V8 with an output of 612 horsepower (456 kilowatts). This is probably enough power for a race version of the car, especially if it is combined with a significantly reduced weight. The future of the model doesn’t seem to include a hybrid version, however. Just recently, a V12-powered prototype was caught testing, though it’s too early to tell what Ferrari is currently working on.

    When I was initially looking at the Roma last month, my SA told me that the Roma will be at the end of its run in about 24 months and that the next iteration will be a more aggressive model. I’m assuming the above rendering is what he was talking about. He also said that if I liked the more aggressive model better, that they will just roll my deposit over to that model.

    I personally think the Roma is a more elegant vehicle, but appreciate those that do wish to track the next iteration which will benefit from the added aerodynamic components.

    this is a non-factory rendering by Magnus Concepts, but it is really cool looking and a good inspiration if Ferrari is trying to make it more aggressive.

    Roma is an absolutely fantastic car and one of the greatest modern grand tourers - but IMO there are much more suitable ones in the Ferrari lineup to be used as basis for a track toy.

    I agree with you, the Roma is more on the comfort luxury end of the models, not going for the best track performance. You can turn it into that, but takes more effort than the models that are closer to start.
