MOTORING STAFF No, it’s not a DB10

IF YOU look too quickly, you might think the car in these pictures are from the set of a new James Bond film, however, what you’re looking at is not an Aston Martin.

Meet the new Ferrari Roma, revealed last week during a dedicated client event held in Italy’s iconic capital city. Ferrari says the new mid-front-engined 2+ coupé features refined proportions and a timeless design.

“Not only is the Ferrari Roma an icon of Italian design, but it also represents the pinnacle of performance in this category, thanks to its turbo-charged V8 from the family of engines that has won the overall International Engine of the Year Award, four years running.

In this version, the engine reaches 456kW at 7 500rpm, coupled to a new 8-speed DCT gearbox,” they add.

No word yet on when to expect the Ferrari Roma in South Africa.
