The new Vantage?
Discussion
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.

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 ... ??
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.

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

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.Minglar said:

Which is the generation that possess a very short attention span?
Clearly those reviews must have been made especially for them.
AML want "New, younger customers".
Particularly if they can find any, with either a spare £200,000, or 1x £30,000; 47 x £2,400 PCP monthly and £108,600 balloon.
Think I will wait for Harry Metcalf.
In the USA there are, 'Two guys and a ride', who do surprisingly detailed car reviews, but may never have a Vantage offered to them.

Monte blanco ive done a couple of times, pretty long straight so will be good to get an idea of what the power is like, circuit is soooo corse though, eats tyres, new set of cup2s will struggle to last a day.
