Following its first global reveal during an exclusive event held in Italy’s capital last November, the Ferrari Roma made its first appearance in Qatar at an exclusive customer event held at the Alfardan Sports Motors showroom.

“With its distinctive flair and style, the car is a contemporary representation of the carefree, pleasurable way of life that characterized 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,” a press statement notes.

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 620cv at 7,500rpm and is coupled with the new 8-speed DCT gearbox that was first introduced on the SF90 Stradale.

The Ferrari Roma’s chassis benefits from the technology developed by Ferrari for its new-generation models.
Bodyshell and chassis have been redesigned to incorporate the latest weight reduction and advanced production technologies. In fact, 70% of its components are entirely new.

“To guarantee best-in-class aerodynamic performance while still retaining the Ferrari Roma’s stylistic purity, Maranello engineers developed several leading-edge technologies, most notably a mobile rear spoiler integrated into the rear screen designed to retain the car’s formal elegance when retracted and guarantee the downforce essential for the car’s extraordinary performance by automatically deploying at high speeds,” it continues.

The Ferrari Roma shares many of these characteristics and embodies an extremely modern design language;
its pure, refined styling and perfect proportions cleverly conceal the car’s power and sportiness.

A new architectural concept for volumes and forms was developed for the Ferrari Roma’s cabin. The idea was to create two separate spaces or cells, one each for driver and passenger, in an evolution of the Dual Cockpit concept introduced on other cars in the range.

“Ferrari’s unparalleled quality standards and increasing focus on client service underpin the extended seven-year maintenance programme offered with the Ferrari Roma,” the statement adds.
