Ferrari Roma White

As ever, the powertrain is sublime and the delivery and character of the acceleration are world-beating. With 620 horsepower at your toes 0-62mph happens in 3.4 seconds which is pretty much perfect - this isn’t a flat-out bonkers supercar so doesn’t have any need of breaking the 3.0-second barrier like some of them. Instead, it feels manageable and friendly, and is perfectly docile round town, the thin steering wheel taking the strain, that long bonnet pivoting easily in front of you, the bodywork hunching up over the front wheels into your vision. The sound, too, isn’t obtrusive, which is important on long journeys. The question the Roma poses is why you’d buy anything more expensive from the Ferrari stable. It is enough of a drive to satisfy most enthusiasts on public roads and those who prefer to track their cars are never going to buy a GT-badged car anyway. Saying that we took it on a track and loved it - the brakes are strong and that lightweight dual-clutch transmission is silky smooth. The aerodynamics are enhanced by a three-stage spoiler, which deploys from the base of the rear screen into two different positions depending on the amount of downforce required. It’s smart and, let’s face it, looks ultra-cool. Much like this entire car.
