I love the fact it’s a V12, but generally am not a fan of SUV’s ………

You have to admire them for understanding their marketplace. I am sure that the McLaren four door/lowered SUV will be along in a couple of years. The Veblen effect is much at work here price wise. Ferrari is really a cut above the rest in terms of relying on the heritage, the racing, the design language and the Italianness (a word?) to make the true rich pay up. Where traditional Ferrari buyers fit into this is hard to say - the prices are very high - and it will be interesting to see if Aston, McLaren and Lambo (to a lesser extent) make the mistake of thinking they can keep up price wise.

There you have it. Ferrari have just created a new sector.

V12? What's not to like?

Totally agree with these analyses.

And it’s also admirable that they’ve done this whilst maintaining styling DNA with the Roma.

You would if you could. On PH someone suggested that these sort of cars are the new GTs. I know that the price of this does not compare with the GranTurismo in anyway but it does make you think. Performance and handling have moved on so far that two door GTs are looking a tad unnecessary. So is it sports SUVs and a proper small two seater sports cars for car nuts in the future? I'm not sure as I still like fast estates but there is a big gap in the middle with cars which are maybe not needed.

Pretty spectacular location, what a deck with glass railing! Someone moved their outdoor lounge furniture out of the way :cool:

I "like" it... for what it is I think they have done a good job. I wouldnt buy one mind

The price is carzy, and apparently has a 2 year waiting list already...

I read it has a pump on each shock absorber for ultimate body control. Sounds fiendishly complicated
