F430 Designer Analyzes The Ferrari Roma!

[@stephmaccormick3195]

Next gen of cars will have "full analogue dashboard" as an luxury extra option.

[@Pandamasque]

I don't think it will be optional (too complicated to develop both ways), but you're right. In 10-15 years analogue instruments will become a luxury feature, much like mechanical watches these days.

[@SebastianLarsen]

Agreed. There's nothing luxurious about a touch screen any longer

[@andrespaniagua340]

Digital dashes were a thing in the 80s and 90s, particularly in American luxury car brands... Once they lost their novelty, analog gauges had their comeback. I guess a combination of screens, buttons and gauges would be optimal (although I could do without a screen), but probably not so cost effective.

[@minatormyth]

I agree, from the first time I saw this car I thought classical speedo and rev counter would look classy.

[@anabang1251]

The Rodius designer had some fun with colleagues, the boss walked by and thought that the sheet of paper on the desk was the final design. So he took it.

[@nkr1159]

Ahem, If I''m not mistaken the designer of the Rodius was a Brit also in charge of the Design Dept of the Royal College of Art. And was apparently inspired by yachts. And btw - nothing wrong with the Multipla, especially compared to the turgid puddings that are the current Fiats and Alfas.

[@jdsk8914]

The F430 with its manettino was really ahead of its time back in 2004. The Roma is probably the best GT you can get without a V12.

[@apiranha1]

I think the whole car was designed under the motif of subtle, almost organic change of material; gradually transitioning horizontally. Most evident in the front grill’s transition from solid to open (also the reason for the same color), and the head/tail lights minimalist lines that follow the shadows created by the slight curves. Great design

[@sarcatstix]

I teach at a German University and in a class of 25 only one student would choose the Ferrari language of design over Porsche or BMW, and that student was Italian. Society really does inform us. I’m British Italian and have made it my job to influence my students to appreciate design. Thanks for your fabulous insights.

[@connor8627]

For me it’s hard to say that the design language of one top car brand is superior to another. Of course people will have their preferences but we should all appreciate equally the unique artistic/creative expression encapsulated in each design. Take the Holy Trinity of hypercars (P1, 918, LaFerrari) I love them all equally but for very different reasons. The cars speak to the individual in different ways but that doesn’t mean one is any less beautiful or awe-inspiring than the other

[@sarcatstix]

I acknowledge your point totally. I noted there is a certain trend towards an aesthetic within groups. Living in Germany with its bauhaus modernism juxtaposed with fachwerk timber framing seems to influence design. efficiency is valued extremely highly here. Lamborghini has an aesthetic very different to Ferrari but both speak to me of Italianess as does the Alfa. I have restored 3 Jaguar xk140s so my love of voluptuous sweeping curves should be obvious and yet while I appreciate Porsche’s curves I don’t love them. Completely subjective in that sense but looking through the history of art you can see a cultures influence on the art and design it creates.

[@connor8627]

@@sarcatstix I completely agree, it's also worth noting just how much design language is informed by era/time-period. Take the boxiness and sharp lines of cars from the 80's (F40/E30 M3) and compare it to the curves/voluptuousness of cars from the 90's (F50/XJ220). Trends are subject to constant change

[@sarcatstix]

Connor Reid Oh totally, there are certain Lancias that can be seen as “boxy” the countsch with its futuristic planes - but they all have something that makes them work. I really appreciate some American muscle cars dynamics from the 70s. (And a huge soft spot for the cinquecento). Time changes tastes and rightly so - each era adds something.

[@connor8627]

@@sarcatstix For sure, the Lancia 037 is boxy and imposing and quite a deviation from its predecessor the Stratos, yet it totally reflects its era and I happen to think its one of the most beautiful cars ever built

[@jozero_hero]

This channel is a gift to everyone, especially aspiring designers. Sadly my industrial design journey hardly began before it ended, but I'll always love the insight into someone who lives the dream. I think the Roma is probably my favourite modern Ferrari, though I'll always have a soft spot for the F430 which was my childhood Ferrari.

[@STANLIZ4]

TacosForJesus someone suggested to me favourite cars are related to your age, which had never occurred to me before. I dislike projectile type cars, they leave me cold, but show me a 330 GT, 275GTB4, Superfast, and I love them! Oddly, they are sought after by collectors too, I have doubts about the innumerable supercars

[@madmattgreen]

Ferrari Roma: a supercar seeking for simplicity and a humble look through authentic and necessary air intakes BMW 4 series: a sedan seeking for an overly agressive look with many intakes for an engine that requires less of it each year Why can’t BMW stay with their classic and beautiful lines ehile modernizing the overall look....

[@uap24]

Really ironic that a 600 HP engine is dependent on only 1 intake, while a 500 HP engine requires multiple huge air intakes to function.

[@Any_Friday]

Thank you very much for enlightening people that it is a Ferrari design. I’m so tired of people including some journalists of the Aston Martin and jaguar reference, when I saw the Roma for the first time it really did remind me of the Ferraris GT of the 60’s especially the 60’s Lusso. What I enjoy about your perspective is how important it is to you to know the history of the brand you designed for. Keep up the good work.

[@z33r0now3]

Never knew car design can be so interesting to listen to. I am addicted to these kind of vids now. Mr. Stephenson has an excellent way of explaining his ideas and insights. I start to understand why its called design language, because you have to be an eloquent artist.

[@Design.Theory]

Congrats on 60k, Frank! I agree that the grille being the same color as the body is a bit jarring. When the no-grille Teslas first came out, it was very strange to look at....like a face with no mouth. As we became exposed to that visual signature, we became more comfortable with it. With electric cars becoming more prevalent, this "hidden grille" will become more commonplace, I think. It feels odd on a Ferrari, though, since the grille subconsciously communicates the need to cool off an awesomely powerful engine (I'm purely speaking from a perception standpoint here).

[@benzinapaul7416]

The grille reminds me of the Ferrrai Pinin prototype saloon....in a good way. It is very colour sensitive I suppose but a cool statement

[@leod9463]

I think that grill is that certain something of this car. And a welcome change in times of obscene looking grills on virtually every car

I'm with you on all counts, although I'll wait till tomorrow when I drive it, and see it in the flesh, to give a verdict on the tail lights. PS, never selling my F430!

[@ferraridan4883]

The F430 has always been iconic in design. I love it since I have a Spyder. Incredible job on your design. I don't like the Roma at all. Looks like a Jag. Make a smaller version of the F12 TDF and you'll have a winner forever. I know these are all about aerodynamics; but this one is a step back in design.

Love your video analysis, Frank. I’ve been a Porsche guy for 45 years and when I saw the ad for the Roma pop up in my feed, I was floored. I think the front grill is what made me take a second look. Perhaps that was the intention of the design by Ferrari?

[@robertho1770]

Thank you so much foe a great review. They have a chrome option for the front grill which I wanted but at the end decided to save a bit of money - but I will definitely go for it now 🙏👍

Please comment on the fact that it looks like the Maserati Alfieri Concept!

[@THESLlCK]

As far as I know, the ferrari california and gran turisimo share the same underpinnings

[@PorscheFanatic]

@@THESLlCK A lot of cars do, they share the same parent company too. But as @shmee150 pointed out this design might've been taken from Maserati and then tweaked into a Ferrari.

[@THESLlCK]

@@PorscheFanatic I honestly doubt it, but it's a possibility. I really like the look of the alfieri, and prefer it to the MC20 in more ways than one.

[@ignaciodiaz6200]

^ this! it's the alfieri I was waiting for..

[@DefinitelyNotEmma]

I think it looks too much like a Vantage, but yea it also closely resembles the Alfieri

[@STANLIZ4]

Very interesting comments. The Grill does lacks visual appeal, aluminium coloured, larger squares for me would enhance presence. Looks “weak” as it is. Glad no side badge, looks brash, shouts look at me, Ferrari! Not my style. The concept is wonderful, a car again! Not a projectile! An update on those wonderful 50s/60s/70s cars we treasure so much now, more please like this! I could be tempted!

[@Arts_and_Carafts]

When I first saw this car I thought “wow, that’s a nice Aston” this Ferrari looks British to me

[@unerbittlich]

It does! I dont know Cars and even the Name Aston Martin didnt came in my Had. but it is so true!

[@TechdubberStudios]

I totally agree with the desire of the grille to be black, but this is not my biggest issue with this car. My biggest issue with this car is that is has a very laggy infotainment system. Sure, the screens are beautiful, but the software is a bit too much for the weak hardware to handle. I do believe, however, that this is the best looking amongst the recently released cars, especially when compared with the german brands.

The videos have gotten better over time. Keep going!
