2023 Ferrari Roma

The Roma is Ferrari at its most refined - it’s the embodiment of the Nuova Dolce Vita, a grand tourer that threads nostalgia through modernity with the precision of a master tailor.

But this isn’t Ferrari’s first flirtation with beauty and understatement. The Roma’s lineage runs deep - through icons like the 250 GT Lusso, 365 GTC/4, and 612 Scaglietti - the quietly confident Ferraris that traded race-track aggression for long-legged grace. Each of those grand tourers combined elegance with effortlessness, built for crossing continents as much as conquering corners. The Roma is the 21st-century continuation of that grand touring bloodline: lithe where the 612 was large, subtle where the 550 Maranello was bold, yet unmistakably Italian in its romance with speed.

Finished in Nero Daytona over Nero leather with Alcantara Ner headlining, this example epitomises understated sophistication. The detailing is exquisite - Rosso Ferrari seat belts, Rosso stitching, and Cavallino emblems stitched into the headrests.

The specification reads like a connoisseur’s checklist: ‘Scuderia Ferrari’ shields, Magneride Dual Mode Suspension, Carbon Fibre Rear Boot Trim, Upper Centre Console in Carbon Fibre, Active Matrix LED Headlights, High Power Hi-Fi System, Surround View, and the ADAS Full Pack for modern usability. The Yellow brake calipers glint behind diamond-polished forged wheels - a reminder of the 456 kW twin-turbo V8, paired with Ferrari’s lightning-fast 8-speed dual-clutch transmission that is at the heart of the car.

Inside, the Roma’s cabin is a study in restraint - contemporary yet timeless. Two sculpted pods, one for driver and one for passenger, create a sense of intimacy. Digital displays blend seamlessly with tactile materials: hand-stitched leather, brushed aluminium, and that ever-present Cavallino Rampante watching over proceedings from the steering wheel.

This Australian-delivered example has travelled just 8,610 km from new and presents in exceptional condition throughout. Maintained meticulously, it stands as an exquisite opportunity to experience the most approachable yet sophisticated Ferrari of the modern era.

Because while many Ferraris demand your attention, the Roma earns it — not through theatre, but through taste.
