What is it?
The Roma is Ferrari's front-mid-engined 2 plus 2 GT, the gateway to the V8 range and a modern interpretation of the classic Ferrari grand tourer. The 3.9L F154 twin-turbo V8 makes 456 kW and 760 Nm, drives the rear wheels through an 8-speed dual-clutch shared with the SF90, and pushes the car to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds. Two bodies for Australia: the original Roma Coupe and the 2023 Roma Spider with its 13.5 second folding fabric roof.
The lineup runs from Roma Coupe at $462,000 drive-away, through to Roma Spider at $508,000 drive-away. Warranty cover sits at 3 years, unlimited km.
Interior and Technology
Cleanest-looking modern Ferrari, with a 456 kW twin-turbo V8 still capable of sounding like a Ferrari at full throttle. Spider folding roof drops in 13.5 seconds at speeds up to 60 km/h.
Capacitive steering-wheel controls divide opinion and are easy to brush by accident. RWD only, no all-weather option in the lineup. Amalfi successor is confirmed, residuals will pivot at launch.
Should you buy the Roma?
