Romance, luxury, class and elegance. The Ferrari Roma epitomizes a lifestyle that is so very sweet. Its signature Italian styling a contemporary reinterpretation of the carefree lifestyle of post-mid-century Rome, when Hollywood’s brightest stars came to experience the lap of luxury in the heart of Italy – La Dolce Vita. Once again, the new Prancing Horse 2+coupé promises the best of luxury and sportsmanship, and we experienced just that when we went on the most exhilarating trip with the beautiful Roma in the heart of Kuwait.
As soon as we’ve stepped inside the Ferrari Roma, we felt an electric rush of adrenaline as she flew from 0-100 km/h in a mere 3.4 seconds, perfect for those on-track thrill rides. Cruising down the glimmering Gulf Road doesn’t get better than this, as the Ferrari Roma delivers top-class performance, yet staying true to the purity of its heritage while still employing the latest cutting-edge tech to make the trip to your hot-spot of choice an unforgettable one.
While we love making the ultimate style statement with the Ferrari Roma, it’s all about the thrill of the ride for us, and this is where the Roma’s optimum power from the V8 turbo engine, which also makes the Roma the most powerful model in its segment, comes into play. Thanks to the Variable Boost Management system and new Gasoline Particulate Filters, the sultry sound of the exhaust system rang true in our ears, furthering the electrifying rush of prancing around Kuwait City’s latest hotspots in the stunning Ferrari Roma.
The newest coupé from The Prancing Horse embodies an utterly refined style which is underpinned by an ultra modern design language that looks just at home here careening along the Gulf Road as along the Italian Lazio coastline. The minimalist lines on the Roma remind you of the rippling muscle of the most graceful of equine beauties, the coupé straining yet powerfully pushing ahead as we drove her across the Sheikh Jaber Al Ahmad Al Sabah Causeway, finally releasing the horsepower along the desert highway in the late afternoon.
The ruggedness of the great desert scape serves as the perfect juxtaposition to the lavish interiors of the Ferrari Roma. While we admired the scenic display of endless ribbons of golden sand dunes as we drove down the highway, we couldn’t help but become fixated by the craftsmanship that defines the Roma’s interiors. The clear areas of the front that are divided for the driver and the passenger are dominated by sumptuous, beautiful leather, sharply dressing the Roma to most definitely impress. It goes without saying though, that this refined look is further exemplified by the highest cutting-edge tech, from the digital screen and 16-inch instrument cluster that’s part of the Human Machine Interface which is completely adjustable. In mere seconds, we were able to customize the space allocated to navigation, speed information, and so much more.
As we made our way back toward the city via the Sheikh Jaber Al Ahmad Al Sabah Causeway, the sun began to set, offsetting the deep sultry color of the Roma ever so romantically. It was time for those stunning headlines to come out to play. The removal of all superfluous detailing accentuates the Roma’s sleekness and formal minimalism, and the full-LED adaptive headlights, which appear as a horizontal light strip hints at the powerful structure beneath the car’s skin. As we drove off into the twilight, we listened to the deep growl of the engine, appreciating how power can be presented so flawlessly, and so elegantly, with the Ferrari Roma.
