The Roma Spider has been mentioned several times during the past year. That would make a desirable open top GT with pure lines without the mechanic of a retractable hard top.
First of today's updates 'Building on strong momentum, we are eager to seize the opportunities ahead and look forward to sharing our future plans on June 16 in Maranello at our Capital Markets Day' - put the date in your diaries - details should be available from about lunchtime in the US
Just found this in the earnings presentation. Daytona SP3 and Purosangue commencing production in 2022 with deliveries in 2023
any info on the hypercar? (not the lmh), it says 2 new models so I'm worried we won't see it this year
for the 75th anniversary of Ferrari that doesn't seem like much of a grand celebration, is the LMH car going to at least get a teaser later this year?
I think this is where we've landing (corrections encouraged) Portofino M F8 Tributo F8 Tributo Spider SF90 SF90 Spider Roma 812 GTS 812 Comp 812 CompA 296 SP3 296 spider Purosangue SP1 (I had thought these were before the 15 model announcement, but perhaps mistaken) SP2 (I had thought these were before the 15 model announcement, but perhaps mistaken)
It's interesting to me the co-existence of the Roma/Portofino - they seem to occupy the same market position, I can only assume they were be merged at some point? Kind regards
The saddest part of reading that report is that only 17% of their car production is V12. Considering "unobtainium" models and their annual production figures into the mix, one can guesstimate that probably somewhere around [or even less than] 10% of Ferrari's regular production model volume is now V12 powered. Coming from a company who's founder once is claimed to have said "I don't sell cars; I sell engines. The cars I throw in for free since something has to hold the engines in". It actually makes me feel quite sentimental, seeing it so clearly.
This is exactly my thinking as well. I heard many rumors that the Maserati Alfieri concept from years ago turned into the Roma. I like the Roma and have seen a few since it's launch on the road but not as many as the Portofino, albeit the Portofino has had a longer production time. I'm quite confused who the Roma is for because I assume most Portofino owners want to upgrade to the M/Spider/GTS if they are looking for a new car and have been buying that line of cars since the California. It also seems the Roma does everything the Portofino does but with slight distinctions. If I was in the market for a front engined Ferrari that wasn't a V12, I'd pick the Portofino because the roof comes off and to me it looks better than the Roma. Small Pee Pee, Big Heart
I guess the Roma is for people like me. lol. Have a Pista for my raw fun sports car needs and wanted a Ferrari where I can haul around the wife and my 8 year old. Portofino could of fit the bill, but didn't need a drop top as we already have a convertible. Never really even drop the top in that car anyways. So far, we have been very happy with the Roma. It's very comfortable and yet has enough kick to remind you it's a Ferrari. At the same time, the car is pretty unassuming and does not garner a whole lot of attention and we really like that part. Waiting to see if Ferrari continues the V12 line and announces a 812 successor. If not, will look to acquire an 812 to get my V12 kicks.
Just saw another thread. Someone wrote that its deseign was ready. And now they are working on the tech. I hope that's true. Maybe mr.Massini knows?
