Ferrari engineering is usually superior and the difference frequently shows on track times, specific power output, power to weight ratio, chassis balance, aerodynamics, etc. In this case, the Roma is an entry level Ferrari, a GT car, more like a 911 Carrera while the 911 Turbo is one of the fastest cars we can get from the brand. Price tag they might be comparable, but Porsche never played in the same league as Ferrari, Aston Martin, Mclaren, Bentley, Lambo, etc.

Excellent presentation! If find it personally very hard to analyze the “beauty” of the 911 because I have loved them for so many decades. Its looks are “iconic.” And by that I mean I can’t analyze the curves, or shape objectively in any sense, it is just a “911,” and they have always been amazing to contemplate (especially the thrill of the mid-70’s turbo)…the looks are intertwined inexorably with the whole experience. The interior and the technology user interface on the Roma is garbage, just plain and simple…garbage. With regards to price you will never ever see a Roma at the price you quoted. Options are insanely expensive and just a modicum of options (ones most owners would consider essential and not flamboyant) will make it more expensive than the 911 Turbo S. I think it is curious you mention that perhaps it would have been more “fair” to compare the Roma to the 911 Turbo (rather than the S) when the price differential was essentially the same on either side of the Roma (+/- 10K pounds). Why? The comparison to the 911 Turbo S is perfectly appropriate, and in fact as mentioned the Porsche is still cheaper than the Ferrari. You ultimately chose the Ferrari for the same reason so many do…the emotional magic of the Ferrari brand is king, and has been for decades. Objectively their cars are not superior to many of their competitors, but none of their competitors have that magical prancing horse on the bonnet.

@@tobiasjtaule8867 When it comes to being “objective” the only true objective measure of a sports car is track time standardized by using same driver, same track, and same tires (preferably on same day testing). You can look up track times online easily, ie: Big Willow. Just recently there is a video containing lap times in France at Nevers Magny-Cours Club, same driver and tires listed (easily searchable on KZbin). You know which car consistently kicks Ferrari’s butt on track after track? The “lowly” Corvette Z06. Ferrari’s for many many years are not the top dogs performance wise at any track in the world. In addition, when it comes to reliable, usable, and exhilarating club racing events the cars that dominate are Porsche 911, Corvette, BMW, and of course the Mazda Miata.

@@Rob02138 I am not a fan of the infotainment screens either - particularly when they stick out like a tablet. I am afraid this is the trend of the days though and literally every manufacturer installs them on their cars nowadays. Obviously, these systems are going to be completely outdated in a few years, no matter how cleverly you have managed to incorporate it into your interior (like Bentley do with their rotating system). Moreover, I can appreciate the plushness and the rich materials in a Bentley or Rolls but I would not want something like that in a Ferrari (especially in mid engine models). It's just a different feeling and sensation. I believe that Ferrari have worked very hard to offer the driver EXACTLY the feeling and sensation needed for their cars - obviously this is not just a matter of materials and interior design but a combination of every single part, the noise, the stiffness, the dimensions etc. Congrats for owning those great cars btw :)

I don't get the Roma. It looks so tamed to be a Ferrari. If I wanted a GT car I would choose an Aston or Bentley. Ferrari is excitement and passion, Roma doesn't strike me as that in my opinion.

Waiting on the power between 3 & 6000, rpm in my old school book you call that lag, so when you're waiting to get going, the Porsche has already gone

First time I've seen a Roma in another other than Red and it looks 10x better in White. I'd take it over the Porsche.

Taking into consideration both have almost 650 HP Yet the Turbo S defeats every Lamborghini and almost all Ferraris, except for the SF90, LaFerrari, etc. It completed the 1/4 mile in 10.1 seconds as for Roma it does that in almost 11.3 seconds. Being having the same hp the performance have a great difference, so if u see the Porsche will be more value for money and can give u better performance. But the Roma is not bad either. If u want sheer performance go for the Porsche, if u want the strong exhaust sound, a good/decent performance and road presence then u can choose the Ferrari. Both have good presence on roads but Ferrari is still at top. So it depends on what u want, cuz both cost almost the same. Either way both fantastic cars u choose any one of them u won't regret.

I would have this porsche every time, now a second hand 488 might be a harder decision. I consider myself to pretty proficient behind the wheel on the road or track, but some monied talentless driver could get themselves in a lot of trouble with cars like this, maybe the manufactures should introduce a voluntary driving course for cars of a certain performance with insurance benefits to keep road users safer and teaching the drivers of these cars to enjoy them more😊

Roma is hands down astonishingly beautifull car and 911 cant compare, however for me, personally, interior wins over exterior, since as a driver, that's what I see. If you are seeking attention, Roma wins, if you are seeking comfort, 911 wins.

Great review. For close to £200,000, I’d want something that feels, looks and sounds special. The Turbo S is a fantastic car that is blisteringly quick - but it sounds, looks and feels similar inside to a Carrera. At the end of the day I’d be happier with a Roma + a base Carrera as a daily than a Turbo S + another sporty daily.

But you do realize that with a turbo s you wouldn't require a sport daily. The turbo s is supposed to be your sport daily.

@@prathamkamath8280 My point is that for £180k, the Turbo isn’t special enough to either be your only car or your weekend car
