Ferrari Roma review - 0-60mph, 1/4-mile & drift tested!

.............................................................

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!

We will love to see a drag race between the Roma, Mclaren Gt, Aston DB11 and Bentley cont Gt

7:28 You get two key fobs with metal covers: one with the yellow Ferrari badge and a silver one with the cavallino rampante. The black plastic cover (seen in the video) is also included and can be optionally fitted to either of the keys instead of the metal key cover.

It honestly looks so surreal that in first few seconds I struggled to figure out if it’s a render or a real car.

I don’t know what he’s doing different in this video but I like this sort of new style of presenting. Less of a hustle, more relaxed and refined. Good one!

One of the very best car designs I've ever seen, absolutely stunning!

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.

This might be one of the few Ferrari's that look better in Black than Red

Mat never misses oportunity to flex his Galaxy Fold and emphasize its foldability. 😅

As stunning the Roma is, the F12 Berlinetta is still my favourite Ferrari of all time. I just love how scary the F12 is, getting a ride in one is an experience you never forget. Oh, and that V12 scream

[joelpefoubou]

This channel literally blew up compared to others I was tracking. WOW! Great job mate Mat!

[thembandaba]

This cars looks are mesmerizing.. The interior is sublime and the engine sounds glorious .... All of the qualities I look for in a Grand tourer

[keyner]

Ferrari Roma, McLaren GT, Bentley Continental GT Speed, Aston Martin DB11, Mercedes-Benz AMG GT, Jaguar F-Type, BMW M8. Matt we need this drag race

[SpaghettiKillah]

Enzo himself always preferred front-engined GTs.
He said: "horses go in front of the carriage"

[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.

Matt's Italian accent is so good, I can't get enough of it😅

The key is incomplete, you get a part of the key (which is the ferrari emblem) in a gift later. Not sure why they do it like that. But when the key is complete its beautiful.

[ΚωνσταντίνοςΞίπας]

As far as exterior goes...this is one of the most beautiful and elegant cars ever!

[adiathama]

Cant get enough of that car window scene lol.. Mat face at his best

[Sustainable_IN]

I like Mat Watson’s style of wit and reviews so much. I’ve been looking forward to a video about Ferrari Roma and this is it. Nothing to be desired.
