La vie en Roma

We spend a day in the sweltering heat of Dubai to drive an equally hot car – the achingly beautiful new Ferrari Roma

There are cars, then there are the special ones, and right at the top of that pile are those that wear one of the most recognisable, one of the most iconic badges of all time. Special doesn’t even begin to describe the place of the Prancing Horse in the automotive world quite honestly. For decades, Ferrari has dominated the automotive landscape, both on the road and on the track, churning out some of the most, if not the most desirable cars year after year. Cars that don’t just set your pulses racing with their performance, but ones that tug at your heartstrings and invoke emotions in ways most can’t. Amongst the latest to join that illustrious list is the Ferrari Roma – a front-engined grand tourer that is also the stepping stone into the world of the Prancing Horse.
