In this thrilling episode, TheSmokingTire takes on the Ferrari Roma Spider, a front-engine marvel that replaces the Roma coupe. With a powerful 3.9 L twin-turbo V8 under the hood, producing a whopping 612 horsepower and 561 lb-ft of torque, this car means business. The team praises its wide power band, quick gear changes, and unique exhaust tone, making it a true Ferrari experience when the pedal hits the metal. However, they note some drawbacks like the ceramic brakes lacking bite and the early upshifting in automatic mode, which may dampen the driving thrill for some.
Despite its impressive performance, the Roma Spider faces a cold reception from other Ferrari drivers, who seem to give it the cold shoulder on the road. The team also delves into the car's mixed reputation within the Ferrari community, where some enthusiasts question its place among the prancing horse lineup. Criticisms are aimed at the limited trunk space, slow CarPlay connection, and confusing controls, highlighting practicality issues that may irk potential buyers. Comparisons to competitors like the Aston Vantage Roadster, Porsche 911 Turbo Convertible, and Bentley GTC shed light on where the Roma Spider stands in the super sports roadster arena.
While the Ferrari Roma Spider impresses with its balance and driving dynamics, flaws like the rear window not fully retracting raise eyebrows. The team's candid assessment of the car's strengths and weaknesses provides a comprehensive look at what it offers to passionate drivers seeking the ultimate thrill behind the wheel. The episode wraps up with a shoutout to Ferrari for the exhilarating experience and a special discount code for Drift products, ensuring that viewers can bring a touch of luxury to their own driving adventures.
