Say thanks to the owner of the Roma - bit.ly/Ken-Sheikhs-0402
This is the Ferrari Roma! It’s the hard-top version of the Portofino, and Mat’s about to find out if it’s worth the £171,000 starting price!
Given it’s a Ferrari, we naturally have to start with the engine. It’s powered by a 3.9-litre twin-turbo V8 that drives the rear wheels to put down 620hp & 760Nm of torque. It’s also claimed it can hit 60mph in 3.4 seconds… But will Mat be able to achieve that in wet, icy conditions?!
Once you take a step inside, it’ll come as no surprise that this Ferrari has been built to an exceptional standard. There are nice materials throughout, while the driver’s treated to a large digital dials display. There’s even a small display built into the dash for the passenger, too!
So what do we think - is this one of the nicest cars you can buy for under £175,000? You’ll have to stick with Mat to find out!

[@phoenix1279]

Trying to use a touch screen, while driving a car this quick, is incredibly dangerous. In fact, I'm surprised these systems are even legal, when texting and driving is illegal in many countries. It's basically the same thing. Even Ferrari have fallen victim to the classic Tesla trap of having every single function of the car controlled via a touch screen. It needs to stop. What was wrong with being able to turn off the A/C or adjust the temperature without having to take your eyes off the road? Fantastic looking car, but the tech killed it for me.

Finally someone who agrees. I absolutely hate the iPads in Teslas, but even Mercedes & Audi are advocating this ridiculous idea of integrating every single function into the touchscreen.

[@magnustan841]

Thats where lower-end brands get it right, especially the Koreans and the Japanese. I’m sure as much we cry for manufacturers to put buttons in cars, too many buttons is overkill, looks nasty at that point. The Asian brands nail that balance of clean and functional design. To be fair, for me, touchscreens aren’t much of a problem if you have a good voice assistant, which is where the touchscreen-loving Germans claw back some praise. They’re such intuitive systems to use, that’s where the asians need to catch up.

[@mananagrawal7372]

​@@Tonyx.yt.thats just a lame excuse. for 170k performance is ur top most priority but that does not mean other things are completely ignored.

Always so exciting to see reviews on new really good looking Ferraris, only to learn about how bad their building quality is haha. Was this car as well built as it was designed, it‘d actually be worth the 170k+ pounds

[@stopthefomo]

The car looks absolutely stunning to die for last car you need to own! That said, 0-60 times should no longer be posted for cars from Aston or Ferrari mostly because every day EVs like the Volvo C40 easily hit 0-60 in under 4.7 seconds without much drama (or special launch mode, just press the pedal and go). I just enjoy staring at this car, parked.
