Ferrari model name has always been a bit mean. 360 Modena to pay tribute to the headquarters city, “ultra-running town” Modena, 550 Maranello represents the town where the factory “Ma Village” Maranello, while some of the 458 Italia is more cattle, direct spend in the name of the name of the country of Italy. Models constantly updated iteration, the Ferrari named library to is there a new material – the capital of Rome, this is the new Ferrari Roma.
understated elegance of the Ferrari entry
is the entry-level Ferrari Ferrari Roma, Roma pricing in the country is 2.38 million, down from Portofino, but not used in place of Portofino, both in fact almost the same price in Italy, but the formation of a differentiated product positioning.
Ferrari product line, are typically Roma GT model, may be considered in addition to the big brother GTC4Lusso only pure GT, although the performance data to Portofino is more powerful than, but the appearance was more low-key elegance, and have 2+ hardtop layout, although the two rear-seat space is really small.
heritage in the 250 GT
According to Ferrari’s statement, in addition to the new Roma Title wore the name of the capital, but also to pay tribute to the history of classical GT model 250 GT series. Then, 250 GT who exactly?
250 GT series was born in the 1950s can be described as the year of Ferrari cars face value of play. Basic 250GT Berlinetta production is not much, sexy styling make it a curve that era GT models “crown jewel.” The 250 GT was able to become one of the best in the world of motor racing classic, but also thanks to the series spawned a large number of award success racing cars, which are well known to most people is naturally the famous 250 GTO, is today’s most collection value is the highest auction price of Ferrari.
The new 250 GT Roma can find a lot of heritage elements in shape, from the whole completely classic GT proportions: the long engine compartment, short front and rear overhangs , the top flow line fastback lines, relatively high sides and “false” waist. I personally like the small triangular window in Roma after the B-pillar, can be described as the finishing touch at the entire side moldings, the perfect visual support ratio rear styling, of course, also pay tribute to the classic 250 GT.
Although the proportion of the whole car heritage to classic GT, but the former was able to see the face of a lot of very fashionable avant-garde design, such as aggressive headlamps and sharp front lip spoiler device, as well as full muscular bonnet, wheel arches and a central engine with raised position, so that the surface with a triple and downs. Of course, the box-shaped grille details will once again put you back into the memories of the classic Ferrari 125S.
Although still young, the strength of leverage
The new Ferrari body Roma 3.9-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine that everyone is familiar with the Portofino’s that sets the same root, but it has more data on the strength of: the turbine speed can be more than 200,000 rev / min, the maximum power output to 620 hp, while maximum torque is 760 cow middot; compared to Portofino on meters, power as much as 20 horsepower and maximum torque is basically the same. The difference is, Roma torque output to the plains broader number. And creating at such power data 0-100 km / h acceleration time of 3.4 seconds, and 0-200 km / h and even better than the acceleration of GTC4Lusso V12! Which compelled peopleEmotion, and now the entry-level sports car Ferrari’s strength has been properly properly close to or above those of the year’s top super flagship Hypercar up.
Roma dynamic new performance demonstrated most vividly in the actual driving: The best way to catapult start depress the throttle after that chilling moment on digital data table will be into a strong sensory stimulation, and even make you extremely excited bursts of dizziness was once. It is emphasized that, in the rear section of accelerating Roma strength of other so-called performance cars more powerful than, strong power output with abundant reserves steady stream of power.
In addition to the engine, the transmission is always from F1 technology Ferrari brand housekeeping magic. Roma 8 is equipped with a dry sump speed dual clutch gearbox, the actual shift performance faster, more stable and more linear. Roma while standard carbon-ceramic brake system can also provide greater braking force to ensure traffic safety and high-speed track performance into full play.
must be mentioned that the exhaust noise, Roma can be said that the first is not equipped with a rear silencer Ferrari. Many distressed when I heard that Ferrari’s Chinese employees in the headquarters to launch a silencer models bear no, I do not know how to deal with domestic regulatory issues, but when the car came out all doubts have been dispelled, the new Roma in full compliance with the rules of the road at the same time also has a very sexy sultry exhaust noise.
At the same time, Ferrari is still Roma this entry-level models equipped with the first five driving modes including “Race” is. In addition, Ferrari FDE dynamic strengthen the system is also integrated into SSC 6.0 system, it is possible to make Roma have a higher limit curve in real time by different independent wheel braking force control, of course, involved in this system produced only in “Race” mode. Since the day of Sanya test drive typhoon heavy rain, so we regard the mode most of the time on the most secure “Wet” under, just in case it is absolutely safe to experience the “Sport” and “Race” mode.
a new era of science and technology in the cockpit
Ferrari Roma interiors and also before lawFerrari model is very different. Although inherited pioneered by 458 Italia “around the driver” concept, Roma interior design has longitudinal first time, the rear end of the center console extending perpendicular to the seat, a T-shaped structure formed integrally. + + Copilot console dashboard instrument to achieve a three-screen interaction, while shifting region is a classic tribute again, using the block H in the form of design.
is focused to say the steering wheel. Integrated steering wheel uses a lot of virtual touch panel, along with certain physical tactile feedback, but in order to prevent a driver inadvertently intense driving these virtual panel automatically without the use of sleep after 15 seconds, double master reactivate . The original iconic Ferrari red start button is now being replaced by virtual buttons, but the driving mode selected Manettino knob is still retains the mechanical form.
Future Classic
appear Ferrari Roma can be said to be the only brand entry-level GT sports car, and other models of differentiated product line is very clear. However, for its competitors, this model is undoubtedly extremely aggressive, such as Aston middot; Martin and Maserati, the two brands are always attaches importance to work in the GT segment of the market, but now the strong kill into one of the prancing Horse, powerful performance, elegant, good fun, open, cost-effective. Most importantly, Roma absolutely pure gene Ferrari. For this reason, Ferrari believes Roma 70 percentage of buyers will eventually become fans of the Ferrari brand.
people can not help but feel curious, how Ferrari integration of the latest modern technology, while the classical tradition? Has become a milestone for the altar after the car Ferrari GT series was born half a century, in Roma’s body was perfectly reproduce. The same strong spiritual core technology, advancing with the times, so this car has a “2020Paragraph 250 GT “reputation of the new models have enough strength to create a monument on the lower motor racing history.
