Subtitles section

Enzo Ferrari loved racing cars, we all know that.

But Ferrari's GT cars are the foundations upon which the house of Enzo was built.

We're talking a series of stunning front engined V Twelves, almost exclusively bodied by Pininfarina and enjoyed by all sorts of amazing characters as Italy was resurgent in the post war period.

Hollywood's new showbiz elite was getting on board too.

The aroma rifts off the whole La Dolce Vita thing.

Now, in losing its roof, the spider adds an extra shot of espresso to that heady mix.

Do we really need to go chasing the red line to get the measure of the Roma spider?

Not right now.

This is the perfect car to get lost and to lose yourself in.

I mean, for a moment, let's forget the fact that there's a three point nine liter twin turbo V eight with six hundred and twelve brake horsepower under that bonnet and focus instead on the fact that we're in a brand new Ferrari convertible in Sardinia.

And there's the spectacular blue of the Tyrrhenian Sea just over there.

Wow.

Life is sometimes very sweet.

Ferrari hasn't made a car like this for many years.

In fact, there hasn't been a front engine Ferrari Spyder since the three six five GTS four, better known as the Daytona, in nineteen sixty nine.

The Roma embodies understated luxury rather than screaming its potential and dares to put style ahead of driving dynamics.

Only just, though,

The coupe also brought in new customers for Ferrari thanks to its less extrovert appearance and attitude.

The Roma Spider doubles down on that elegance.

Aston Martin, Bentley, Mercedes AMG and Porsche all patrol this turf with some of the sexiest cars currently on sale.

So, even for Ferrari, there's work to be done here.

What's new on the Spider?

Well, forget the bulky and heavy hardtop from the now out of production Portofino.

This car has a classic canvas roof with a special weave and five layers for more refinement.

The sills are reinforced, there are new structural elements at the rear for the roof, and there's an integrated wind deflector in the rear seats to minimise turbulence in the cockpit.

It has a centre duct, so it's technically an aerodynamic device.

The roof stashes away in thirteen point five seconds at speeds up to fifty miles per hour.

The modifications add eighty four kilograms to the car's weight and now weighs almost sixteen hundred kilos.

If a Ferrari has one job to do, then surely that's to be the most beautiful car on the road.

The guys at Centro Stile in Maranello, that's Ferrari's styling center, they're modernists.

They really don't do retro.

That said, Chief Design Officer Flavio Manzoni cites the thirties and forties Savoia Marchetti aeroplane as an influence.

It's a beautiful looking thing, by the way.

And you can kind of see the relationship between that

And the body size, it's almost got a fuselage feel, the Roma Spider.

It's also, of course, a soft top in the old school.

So it's got classic convertible proportions and feel to it, atmosphere, attitude, whatever you want to call it.

From some angles, particularly from there across this area, I think it's almost like a Barchetta.

Bit of a Porsche Nine Eleven Merc SL vibe going on at the rear.

You know, it's pretty tidy, well proportioned.

Maybe these rear headrests sit up a bit high, spoil the purity of the line.

But honestly, if you have eyes in your head, you can see that this is a genuinely pretty car.

I'm sorry about all this dodgy Italian pronunciation.

It just happens.

Let's have a look at the front.

I reckon the Roma's prettier in spider form than it is as a coupe.

Even with the roof up, it looks pretty sensational.

I think we've got used to the chiseled modernism, there's that word again, of the nose.

People were a bit sniffy about the perforated grille when the Roma was launched in twenty twenty, I think it was.

But we got used to it, we got used to the kind of narrow eyes of the headlights, those LEDs.

One thing that I don't think you can get used to though, and certainly not, is

This blooming great big lump of plastic here, that's sensor.

I reckon the Centristile guys finished the car and then the marketing guys came along and said, oh, by the way, we've got to put all the sensors and cameras and all that nonsense that nobody really likes.

I don't.

And they went, oh, well, where are we going to put it?

And here it is.

Maybe when they do the facelift, they'll figure out how to integrate it properly.

Gone are the signature round rear lights, replaced by minimal rectangular items.

There's more aero than the Portofino got.

There are vortex generators up front and a deployable rear spoiler, which has a low drag, medium downforce and high downforce setting.

The Roma Spider will do one hundred and ninety eight miles per hour all out and accelerate to sixty two in three point four seconds.

So it might be a comfier GT, but it's still a Ferrari.

Have you been keeping up with Ferrari's adventures in the exciting world of the Human Machine Interface, or HMI for short?

I do hope so.

It's a bit complicated though, so bear with me.

There's good news and bad news.

The good news is the driving position is wonderful.

The steering wheel feels great.

The view ahead's lovely.

These paddles for the gear shift are nice and big, easy to operate, and they're fixed to the steering column.

It gets more complicated when you actually try and use the main display.

Okay, it's sixteen inch in size, high def, the graphics look cool.

It gets trickier when you start trying to navigate your way through the menus and the screen.

Okay, so there are touchpads that you operate with your thumbs, one on the right, one on the left.

The one on the right gives me vehicle audio navigation and the settings.

I can access the ADAS and the lane assist, departure, all that nonsense.

So I turn it off via there.

The rev counter remains central.

You can move the nav display to the other side.

But really, there's probably just too much going on.

It's a bit overwhelming.

It gets easier to use as you get used to it.

But initially, it is truly bewildering.

And the steering wheel, well, Ferrari insists on loading everything onto it.

Interestingly, I saw that new Alfa Romeo XXXIII Stradale recently, and they'd done the exact opposite.

They'd got rid of everything, and it looked incredibly refreshing.

Ferrari, though, we have the indicators here.

We have those spars.

We have the switches for the wipers.

We have the lights over here.

There's a strip light up here.

This is an option.

It's nice.

As you rev, it goes red like in an F One car.

Thankfully, though, the Manettino, which has been a staple on Ferraris for about the last twenty years, it's still here.

And it just demonstrates what it's like when you've got a physical button to play with.

It really works.

This gives us control over the drive modes, the chassis settings.

So we have wet.

We have, what else do we have?

We have comfort.

We have sports.

We have race.

And we have the fun button.

ESC off for when you're feeling a bit slidey, as the great Colin McRae once said.

Really, though, I think there's just a bit too much going on here.

It does get easier to use when you get familiar with it.

So I shouldn't be too hard on them.

But there's too much going on.

The Roma is also bedecked with cameras and it's fitted with the dreaded ADAS.

Personally, I hate all this stuff and it has no business being on a Ferrari.

Except that as of the year of its release, it's a legal requirement.

It's also relatively easy to turn off, although you have to do it every time you start the car up.

There's a hidden engine start stop button, an annoying haptic touchpad adjusts the door mirrors, and even the door handles are, well, basically buttons now.

Has Ferrari become allergic to physical touch points?

It does feel that way.

You also have to prod the central screen here to operate audio and air com.

Ferrari says this is all in service to the eyes on the road, hands on the wheel mantra, and even has biometric tests.

to empirically prove that there's reduced distraction for the driver.

I beg to differ.

Bring back physical buttons, please.

The cabin itself has a nice ebb and flow to it and is more inclusive for the passenger.

The drive controls on the centre console here mimic the old open gate of manual Ferraris, but it's not just a design conceit.

Full grain frow leather or Alcantara is available in the interior.

Like all modern Ferraris on magnetic dampers, the ride quality is amazing.

And this road is very well surfaced, that's to be said.

But I'm pretty confident it would feel just as good on some of the rubbishy B roads we have back home.

Now that was only part throttle, only a little.

One or two of the lights flickering on the steering wheel.

Oh, this is a great bit of road.

This is supposed to be Ferrari's softer GT.

My God.

This engine has won every award going in the last five years.

You can see why.

Just punches so hard in every gear.

Could do with a little bit more feel from the brakes.

But I love the steering.

I can feel the rear end loading up.

It feels relatively softly sprung.

It rolls a little bit.

But the handling is more tall than it was in the Portofino, which this car effectively replaces.

Oh, man, modern Ferraris, the hardware is great.

They've done great chassis for years.

But they're such geniuses with the software now.

There's so many different systems in this car.

The side slip control algorithms, they're up to version six of that now.

So there's hardly any understeer in this car.

And if I was to turn the ESC off and all that, we would be pretty slidey out of some of these corners.

But, you know, you don't need to do that.

The gearbox is derived from the eight speed dual shift one that appeared in the SF Ninety Stradale.

It's improved in every measure from the previous incarnation.

It's lighter, faster shifting, more efficient, and better integrated with the engine software.

Longer ratios, too, in the Roma Spider, which is, you know, more of a long distance GT kind of car, so therefore a bit more relaxed.

And as good as it is on roads like this, actually, what's probably just as impressive is that, well, you know what?

I could drive this one back to the UK, across Germany, wherever, up and down autostradas in Italy, autoroutes in France, and it would just be super quiet on the motorway.

They've worked really hard on the acoustics of the canvas roof.

It's got five layers and some fancy weave.

That's more for the aesthetics than the sound, of course.

But you can talk to your passenger

That motorway speeds perfectly happily.

Ferrari has gone bewilderingly digital, but beneath it all is a deeply satisfying car to drive, both quickly and not so quickly.

The steering is wonderfully linear, and it's less edgy than in other Ferraris.

Actually, not to do with what they've done with the rack, because they haven't changed it over the coupe, but because of some alterations in the suspension kinematics.

Also, be mindful of the fact that you can choose between Bridgestone, Michelin, and Pirelli tires, and the car will feel different depending on what brand of rubber you go for.

The Romo remains unflappable all the way up to and even beyond the limit, and you really do have to push it very hard before it gets all extrovert.

It'll sit at eighty miles an hour in eighth gear, pulling ridiculously real revs, but emitting a distinctive but distant burble.

This really is a very well rounded Ferrari.

So about this whole new Dolce Vita thing.

Ferraris are unquestionably very glamorous cars.

And while the Roma Spider is definitely channeling the spirit of Italy's untouchably cool past, this is a perhaps unexpectedly nuanced sort of Ferrari.

It's modern, high tech, very pretty, and extremely fast.

But it's also strangely subtle.

You know what?

We're good with that.
