Ferrari ROMA

Very well observed Jerry. The acid test will come with the Purosangue and if Ferrari passes it with distinction it will show they can walk ,chew gum while doing a ball juggling at the same time.

 

Thanks Mario- those are all beautiful Ferraris!

When I see the Aston DBX, I have to admit I am worried. The DBX is a nice looking SUV, but its clearly Aston design just applied to a SUV shape- what else could they do? I don't know. Yet, I am not in any way excited by it. I am only speaking for myself here, but I would really like to see Ferrari do something much less banal. I would like to be somehow surprised...

 

For the general public the new Roma will officially be presented at the upcoming Geneva International Motor Show GIMS early March 2020 in Switzerland.
Ferrari had no presence/no stand at the IAA Frankfurt Motor Show in September 2019.
Instead they celebrated at their Universo Ferrari in Maranello and Fiorano.
This was so successful that Universo Ferrari will be repeated in 2020, probably in June (exact date not decided yet).

I agree. In real life, the car is just beautiful. Also the presentation in Rome was amazing.

 

So feminine and elegant next to the muscular and mighty 812. The Roma is girly...

 

I disagree. Frank Sinatra, George Clooney, Marcello Mastroianni or Sean Connery are the types of guys who I imagine driving the Roma. Not girly at all. Elegant and sophisticated.

 

Whereas a racing driver would drive the 812.

 

At least the DBX has its own distinct shape and platform. I get the feeling that its lines will be more pronounced when viewed in person. It is by far my favorite out of the current crop of super utility vehicles. The Bentley and the Lambo are just graphic updates pasted over Audi SUVs and the rolls looks like an actual tank. All three are disappointing in my opinion, but not the Aston.

While I don’t like the concept of a Ferrari SUV, I certainly am excited to see what they come up with.

Guys there is no such thing " A girli car and a masculine car", the only problem with la ROMA that it looks like a more elegant copy of the Aston Martin DB11, that's why people like me will find it pointless to even think to buy la ROMA, especially if you already own an Aston Martin, so...why should anyone think to own an Aston Martin carrying the badge of Ferrari!!!!!!!

I think the Ferrari ROMA is for those who want an Aston Martin but also they don't want to buy an Aston Martin !! hhhhaa !!! That's stupidly funny, I think Manzoni destroyed Ferrari's reputation by copping another manufacture's design, that was really silly, senseless, ridiculous, nonsensical and foolish !!

 

Guys: You see that tablet?
In personal, it looks very cheap, like if Ferrari was not able to adjust a proper full touch screen inside the beautiful interior in a proper way!!!!, also can't understand how they put the name of Ferrari on that cheap tablet, "made in china" type of tablet !!!

I like the Roma interior lines but I agree with you, the integration of the tablet in the console/dashboard could have been done in a much better way. The way it is done it looks the tablet is standing on a charger and personally I prefer better the full integration like the one Porsche has done.

Do you think it really makes sense to make this car bad in front of others?
You don't like the car. Then live with it! Or do you think your arguments could prevent other people from liking the car? This will certainly not work!
And the words silly, senseless, ridiculous, nonsensical and stupid are not the words that I associate with the design of this vehicle ...

 

the tablet looks rigid to me.. not cheap.. thats why it is fat..
and someone here sounds like a broken-radio.. turn off it please..

 

Or Alfa for that matter.

 

I found it funny how someone who doesn't own a ferrari , and is so young to remember the iconic ones from 60 or 70ties gave them self a right to talk the most on the topic of the car that is just introduced.
Older once can see some resemblance with those, younger for sure not.
And to argue that something is made in China...wonder if the same phone you are typing is made over there also
Not to mentioned that there was praising the car endlessly at the beginning, and then turn it for 180°.
No bad feelings, but learn when to get a back seat.
I follow chat for a year now, never said anything, because I haven't own one yet.
But Roma will be my first one, then I can participate actively.
Till then, will listen people who owed Ferraris for 20+ years, and advice you do that same.
All the best

 

@Astrid.Didier what do you really think of the new Roma? I think you don't like it, but I'm not sure.

 

Depends if you read his posts from last week or last month. (Although both are difficult as he types like a teenage girl texting. Apparently is as fickle as one too).

 

The whole idee od Roma is , as i understood, to lure new costumers to the brand.
I am one of them.
It is not easy to get me out of my SUV, and this is my third one,
but I am really in love, I really like Roma.
I wanted to like some others, recent models, but I didnt,
though I liked 458 Italia.
To tell you the truth, those back seats, no matter how small, made a huge difference for me.
I know that there is a Luso, and before it FF, and I went to see them with my son, they are imposing, but not for me...So I skipped.
And I loved Ferraris, ever from my youth days, the 355 , testarossa, and my favorite F40.
But when the time came that I can afford one... it just was not for me, I need a car that I can use every day, as a average, ordinary guy.
So , hopefully, this one is the ONE.
All the best,
see u in one year,(or so) when it arrives

 

I had my notification turned on, because I want to read about Roma, to see photos, hear impressions from experts, from experienced members...
Just to find out that most of the msg were written from people like me, who hadn't had a single Ferrari in their life.
Seems like a teenage chat room for a while.

 

I love being told who did not design the car I own and basically being referenced as too old as to not be relevant. So much knowledge coming from this generation who know so little or nothing of the truth. Almost everything posted about F12, 812 and LaF is revisionist history. Do a little research on FChat and take yourself back to the exact dates these were introduced and discussed in real time then write your learned opinions.

 

Making the car bad in front of the others, Sorry? would u plz follow my earlier messages, I'v said many times the car is so beautiful and so elegant, and after seeing it in person I still find it so beautiful and so elegant with just a few minor things, **** my only problem is that (the car is a typical Aston Martin carrying the badge of Ferrari), like if it was a very elegant copy of the Aston Martin DB11, some won't have any problem with that, some may have!, it's normal, but I repeat the car looks too elegant from outside and inside. I hope I'm clear!

However, some people in this forum have a different perception of what you said last. You assume that the Ferrari Centro Stile stole the design from Aston Martin, but I think that's exaggerated. The DB11 and the Roma compete in the same vehicle segment. Therefore there are similarities in design but in my opinion the design of the Roma is also very Italian in its own way. It's not just a simple copy of the Aston Martin.
