Roma [Official] Ferrari Roma (2020 -


The Ferrari Roma (Type F169) is a grand touring car by Ferrari. Predecessor: Ferrari Portofino. Successor: Ferrari Amalfi. Production: 2020-2024 (coupé), 2023- (spider).
Yesterday I saw the Roma for the first time.
It was red. Had a gorgeous profile and a tear end that looks unmistakably Ferrari but progressive with thin tail lights.

I am torn about the front end. It's sleek but the body coloured grille makes it look odd.

First of all I cannot think of any other car with a body coloured mesh grille.

Secondly, most Ferraris with a grille, have it on a horizontal plane that's below the headlights.

It's not the body-coloured grille that I have a problem with. It's the black inserts between the headlights and the grille that make the front look fussy and unfinished. That's why I reckon, the best colour for a Roma is actually black or, at a push, dark grey.
 
An analogous "eyes to mouth" transition that is smoother and tidier and arguably with a more aggressive feel overall

bit of a strange question - was going to get a Mercedes GTS 63s - similar price in the UK - okay, the Mercedes has 360 camera, ambient lighting etc - but will be half the value after 3 years - the Roma on the other hand appears to have gone up in price on used car websites - My 2 car sales friends have always said stop buying Mercedes, they are all the same blah blah, get a Porsche or Ferrari and you'll sell it for what you paid - if this logic was true, everyone would buy a Ferrari - Mclaren I see depreciate just like a normal car - are they right, is buying a Ferrari or even Lamborghini actually a better idea?
 
WOW. Now that is going to be hot-hot. A Roma Vantage if you will.

It seems to me very unlikely that there would be a V12 Roma. For one, Ferrari has always made a big deal out of keeping the model lines separate (to the point of not calling the 296 GTB a successor to the F8, even though it is, because they see it as the "V8" line ending and the V6 line beginning), so I doubt they would water down their V12 line - the most sacred one of them all - by merging it with a lesser base model. And it certainly doesn't seem very likely that there would be a V12 Roma AND also a V12 812 successor being sold at the same time. For two, this mule car isn't just a Roma, but something that's longer and possibly wider - and they wouldn't re-engineer the car to this extent just to fit in a V12.

The car being a mule for the 812 successor is the most likely possibility, although it does seem a bit weird that it looks this close to the Roma. Also, I am not 100% sure it's a V12 engine there. If it is, then it's sadly very muted.
 
I hope this becomes a regular series production model. Perfect replacement for the 812 Superfast, not the GTS which is still being built.

The name will be the Cornetto.

Just getting that out there so that the real name doesn't sound so stupid when it comes out.
 
Do we know which new models will be presented this year? Is the 812 successor among them?
 
Is that Roma a V12?

No.

The V12 Roma car on youtube is a test mule of the 812 replacement, could be a hybrid also.
