The exterior styling looks quite futuristic and the car was designed to be minimalistic, which is evident with the removal of vents and air intakes. At first glance, you would be forgiven for thinking that the car is crafted from one chunk of metal with its smooth curves and clean rounded design.
Engineers prioritised aerodynamics, incorporating advanced tech like a mobile rear spoiler that deploys at speeds over 60 mph.
The spoiler adjusts itself according to the cars speed, plus the underbody vortex generators which further control an already separated airflow, and smooth airflow underneath the car.
A dual-cockpit concept was introduced for the interior, unlike other Ferrari’s which are typically designed around the driver, the cockpit of the Roma has a deliberate symmetrical style which creates space and incorporates function making the passenger feel extremely involved in the driving.
Owners can enhance this feature by choosing the passenger display upgrade. Installed on the dashboard's passenger side, it lets passengers view driving data and share the driving experience.
The passenger can scroll through digital screens displaying the vehicle information such as; vehicle speed, gear selected, Manettino setting, repeated navigation information symbols and the trip computer.
This driver-focused exotic masterfully blends Ferrari's legendary V8 performance with a "new dolce vita" design philosophy, featuring advanced active aerodynamics and an innovative interior for a truly immersive driving experience for both driver and passenger.
