Check this out Ferrari has made an Aston Martin rip off. The “Roma” was revealed overnight in Italy. The mid-front-engined 2+ coupé is no doubt absolutely beautiful, buy wow can you see what I mean??
I have driven the Aston Martin Volante, the convertible version of the DB11 along with the Vantage. So when I look at the Roma I see a whole lot of Aston.
The turbo-charged V8 produces 456kW and 760Nm of torque. The 0 – 100km dash is done and dusted in 3.4 seconds while the double tonne is all over in 9.3 seconds. An 8-speed double clutch used in the SF90 Stradale, sends power the rear wheels.
Regarding the design Ferrari say it has “distinctive flair and style, the car is a contemporary representation of the carefree, pleasurable way of life that characterised Rome in the 1950s and ‘60s. The Ferrari Roma offers discerning clients the finesse and refinement that brings the concept of “la Dolce Vita” right up to date.
Either way, it’s one sexy beast.
