Automotive significance
The Roma was one of five new Ferrari models presented during 2019 and formed part of a deliberate range-expansion strategy. Although it shared some engineering ancestry with the Portofino, Ferrari presented it as a distinct coupé with its own body, active aerodynamics and eight-speed dual-clutch transmission derived from the new SF90 generation. Its significance lies less in a single technical first than in how Ferrari was widening the kinds of road-car experiences offered under the marque.
