The new Vantage?

[bogie]

I still think the wheels look cartoonishly large on the new Vantage, an inch smaller would more than suffice for me

Does anyone know when the first driving reviews will be released from the journos/vloggers etc? I saw a snippet from Chris Harris yesterday which was also shared by AML so I am assuming it can’t be too long before we get to watch/read their views. Fingers crossed it drives as well as it looks. BRM.

Hoorah for side strakes

The blue car was at Salon Prive ... I thought the interior looked very nice, but the sales "advisor" said that this car was around £190k ... ??

That looks like the same car I saw at my local MD launch event a couple of weeks ago, with the blue CF inside, bucket seats and Ion Blue Q paint.

I asked about the spec and price to the Factory rep in attendance and was told it was £220k, the Q paint was £8k alone, and the blue CF a huge chunk also, I forget exactly what he said, but along the lines of £20k for it.

Lovely car, but I can't see £220k in it myself, but overall the new Vantage was a HUGE step up over the old one which never really floated my boat.

Does anyone know, roughly what a new Ferrari Roma would cost?

[alscar]

Roma coupe started at around £185k iirc although presume Ferrari options are on a par with AM’s if not more.

So same ballpark, which seems about right...

[alscar]

I wonder if the depreciation is similar though ?

[AlexT]

What's everyone's thoughts on interior trim level - Create (base haircell leather with Alcantara door card inserts), Inspire (full semi-aniline) or Accelerate (haircell + Alcantara inserts in seats & door cards).

The Alcantara + leather looks quite attractive.

The Roma interior was designed by a madman. No turn stalks. Loads of unusable haptic buttons for everything on the wheel. It does support CarPlay, but get this, it shows on your dashboard and removes all the instruments so you have no idea what speed you are doing. This is because the centre screen appears to be made by Fischer Price and can’t display CarPlay. I think the Roma is supposed to be a DB12 competitor though.

The CarPlay displays on the centre tablet screen in the Roma following a sofware update that came in late 2022. Prior to that it did display on the main panel ahead of the driver which wasn't ideal but it did still have a digital speedo visible. Ferrari moved all of the traditional column stalk functions onto the steering wheel with the launch of the 458 Italia back in 2009. The Cailfornia was the last regular production model to feature column stalks and it switched to the steering wheel controls for the revised T version.

I sat in that car as well. Really liked it but would 100pc ditch all the expensive blue carbon fibre etc.

I’ve read elsewhere today that the embargo is due to be lifted on 13th May. It will be interesting to see what they think. BRM.

Alex Goy posted from a sunny looking driving event a couple days ago. I assume that was a second wave of journos/influencers to drive. They'll need time to edit their content. May 13th would give them that.
