Aw, don’t end the thread. I’d much rather live vicariously through those who have ordered a new Roma than through second hand F12 owners.

Dont worry, threads like this dont end because some one thinks they have dropped the virtual microphone

Very pretty car...but then Astons always are pretty

I don't think anyone could possibly call the wide mouth bass current Vantage a "pretty car." As for the Roma, I like the shape but dislike the punched metal openings at the front. Would have much preferred a proper grill opening.

it’s stunning to my eyes. Especially love rear and rear lights. Striking but not shouty. Just beautiful.

Thanks for posting that. As you say, perfect balance of exciting to look at without being overly flashy. Gorgeous.

Stunning original design and nothing like an Aston IMO..Nice to see Ferrari being bold in their design rather than sticking to the same safe generic formula..Porsche take note.

Utterly beautiful! Somehow manages to look both sharp and modern yet classic and retro at the same time. A truly elegant Ferrari to my eyes. Very impressed with the current line up, maybe I should consider a modern Ferrari too..

as part of my daily exercise, wandered to see that Roma at Ferrari Berkeley Square ..

Looks even better in the metal .. very elegant and wonderful curvaceous sides

I think it it a classic great Ferrari.
Not a dedicated Ferrari fan, but this is a car I would love to own.

I just hope it drives as well as it looks. No doubt it will be mega fast and capable but will there be some Ferrari charisma to set it apart? I'm guessing it has electric steering which won't be a good start.

[garystoybox]

Not concerned about the electric steering assist.... when I drove an F12 and then stepped into an 812 back to back I honestly thought the steering was much better and bizarrely appeared to have more feel in the 812. The Ferrari system is staggeringly good imo.

I'm shocked no one on here crowing about ordering one?!

Can’t afford to order a new car, but I really like the way this car looks (in restrained colours) - have only seen pics, not in the metal though so might change my mind. Shame it is not a V12 though

Why did people buy a 328 GTB/GTS, when a used 308 GTB/GTS was so much cheaper?

Why did people buy a 430, when a used 360 was so much cheaper?

Why did people buy a 575, when a used 550 was so much cheaper?

Why did people buy a 488, when a used 458 was so much cheaper?

Why did people buy an 812 superfast, when an F12 was so much cheaper?

Why would anyone buy a 2020 model, when a 2017 model is so much cheaper?

I think the comparison is more to do with what you get for the money (or less) rather than just cost alone.
Point being you get a super capable GT car, with THAT V12 engine, rather than the utterly joyless V8 Turbo unit.
F12 far prettier in my eyes, as well.

Forget the engine, it’s got a separate little dashboard for the passenger to use. Worth £200k for that alone...
