TESTED 18.12.20, WEST SUSSEX ON SALE NOW PRICE E170,984: FERRARI ROMA

摘要

Is this V8-engined 2+2 coupe a sports car or a GT? A wet winter's day on difficult English roads provides an interesting answer. The problem with Ferrari launches is that hacks have to try doubly hard to remain objective. Usually held in northern Italy, often at and around the factory, they treat you to superb and almost-always dry roads, the legendary Fiorano test track and, as if that weren't sufficient, dinner at a restaurant called Montana, whose pasta alone constitutes reason enough to get on the plane. It's hard not to feel at least tolerably well disposed towards a car presented in such circumstances.
