Ferrari Roma highly rated 9.5 out of 10

Ferrari Roma design evaluation by Ferrari F430 and FXX designers

Ferrari F430 and Ferrari FXX designer Frank Stephenson analyze the design of Ferrari Roma.

The Ferrari Roma was designed by Flavio Manzoni, who is also a friend of Frank.

By the way, in addition to Mr. Frank here, Ferrari F430 and FXX, all public road models from Maserati to Gran Sport and MC12, McLaren from MP4 12C to 720S, Fiat 500, and MINI redesign from 2000 ... etc. Those who have also been involved in.

He gave a high evaluation to Ferrari Roma, which was "9.5 out of 10".

Moreover, Frank says, "I never give a perfect score of 10 when evaluating a car design," so considering that, "9.5 points" is almost the same among him. I think that it will be a fairly high evaluation that is close to the perfect score.

Even I, who is a complete amateurThe moment I saw Ferrari Roma at a glance, I thought, "It's really cool!"However, if the evaluation from professionals who have been involved in such car design is high, I think that "Ferrari Roma is too nice after all" (← simple).

One of the main reasons why Frank gave Ferrari Roma a high rating of 9.5 points is he says.

"Ferrari Roma stands out as a Ferrari with a design that makes you recognize it as a Ferrari the moment you see it (stands out as a Ferrari immediately)."

From.

The proportions are said to be insanely beautiful, and all the pieces are like monolithic.

It was really praised and said, "It's like this, but I think it's better than GT4C Russo."

Ferrari Roma front grill

The shape of the grill is also different from the Ferrari so far, but it is said that this is also good, and while it looks flat, the square shape becomes smaller as it goes outward, so you can feel the depth. To let you.

However, even though the shape of this grill is good, there seems to be some disagreement about the fact that the color of the grill is the same as the body color.

But I agree with that ... I thought it would be better to have a darker color for this grille (especially if the body color is light).

By the way, Frank said that it would have been better if this grill could be made of titanium gray or light black.

The fluidity of the body line, the curvature, the design of the grill ... The appearance of Rome is "almost one volume", and the cleanliness of the sides of Rome is also noteworthy, and this design is basic. There are only these three lines (when viewed from the side).

Only this part gets the light, and it's good again.

Also, regarding the design of this side of Ferrari Roma, it was said that it is very disappointing that there is no Ferrari logo on the side (although it can be attached as an option).

The door-shaped part that uses the flash door handle is also very clean and nice.

One of his designs, the McLaren MP4 12C, didn't know where the door handle was, so he kept waving around this door handle and asked the passers-by, "What are you doing? The door handle popped up at last with an embarrassing gaze, but in Rome it's good to know where the handle is (laughs).

Interesting ^^

Furthermore, the line to the rear is also wonderful. I understand!

What's more, when he first saw Rome, he was shocked by the design of this rear taillight, "I thought it was a crisp, as if four rubies were shining there." When.

Hmmm, what a wonderful expression! There are four rubies, four rubies.

It was also a solid compliment for this rear hatch.

Those who know the history of Ferrari do not compare Rome and Maserati

In addition he has this Ferrari RomaIsn't it similar to Aston Martin or Jaguar? The story that is said to beAlso touches on.

In this regard, Frank has been truncated as "I don't think so at all." I feel good.

Because, "This Ferrari Roma design shape comes from Ferrari's design in the 50's and 60's, before Aston Martin and Jaguar came out!"

Clearly, "The only person who resembles Rome as Aston Martin or Jaguar is someone who doesn't know the history of Ferrari."

As for the interior, it is said that it has been very digital.

The only thing he doesn't seem to agree with in this interior is the engine start button.

First of all, the Manettino button (transmission changeover switch) is mentioned, but it seems that he made the first design on the F430. Manettino started with a switch designed by Frank.

After talking about Manettino here, what he was "very sorry" was that the red engine start button on the steering was gone.

But anyway, Ferrari Roma is "classic Italian beauty", so I mentioned above

• The front grill is not dark
• No Ferrari shield on the side
• The start button is no longer in the steering

However, I am not convinced a little, and as a result, Ferrari Roma's evaluation is "9.5 / 10".

If it's a car that I think is cool, I think it's cool after all, but even so, it made me even more happy when Ferrari's designers praised me so much. After all Rome is wonderful! I was simply brainwashed again.

Oh, this time I was thinking of writing about the newly announced Portofino M, but I wrote something completely different (laughs). Well, is it okay ~ ^^

I really like Ferrari Roma.
