Ferrari Roma

The Roma is Ferrari's grand tourer, and it borrows its whole attitude from the elegant front-engined coupes the company built in the 1960s. The long bonnet, the smooth fastback roofline and the simple cabin step deliberately away from the angular mid-engined cars. Underneath sits a 3.9 litre twin-turbo V8 with 612 horsepower driving the rear wheels through an 8-speed dual-clutch gearbox. It is fast in any company, but it carries the speed with a kind of polish.

What makes it different is how relaxed it is at normal speeds. The Roma idles through traffic without fuss, the ride is settled, and the digital cockpit keeps the controls clean and close. Push the throttle and the V8 gathers pace to 320 km/h, then settles back into quiet the moment you ease off. Because it is a real 2+2, the back seats take a weekend bag or carry friends on a short trip, which almost nothing else this quick will do.

Dubai suits the Roma perfectly. It is at home on a calm morning run along Sheikh Zayed Road, an evening loop through DIFC and Business Bay, or a longer cruise out toward Hatta when the roads open up. The smooth tarmac and long sightlines let the grand-tourer character breathe, and the understated shape feels right outside a hotel rather than shouting for attention on the Marina.

Renting it gives you the Ferrari grand tourer for the days that matter, without the registration, insurance and depreciation of owning one here. We hold it in Rosso Corsa and deliver across Dubai Marina, JBR and the Palm, full of fuel and detailed, on an all-in daily rate that keeps the numbers clear from the start. We collect it when you are done.
