McLaren W1 First Drive: Ferocious Hypercar Transcends the Track

You know things are getting serious when McLaren rolls-out the ‘1’ suffix. The origin story is, of course, the very first road car McLaren ever built, the F1. Designed by visionary Formula 1 aerodynamicist and engineer Gordon Murray, it arrived in 1992 and rendered all other supercars obsolete. The tiny, lightweight F1 embraced carbon-fibre material technology, adopted a radical centre seat driving position with two passengers set back and either side and was powered by a 6.1-litre V12 engine from BMW that might as well have been passed down directly from the Gods. Game-changer? That doesn’t even come close to describing its impact, even if at the time sales didn’t come easy… The P1 was very different. Rather than a unique side project from the Formula 1 team, it was instead a statement piece for McLaren Automotive, a new road car division still in its infancy. It arrived in 2013 and was a wild-eyed showstopper. It traded the long-legged gait and supple suspension of the F1 for a weaponized hybrid system capable of delivering 903bhp and huge blue flames from its drainpipe exhaust. In Race mode, it lowered by 2-inches and its massive concave rear wing extended into the sky. The P1 was all about aerodynamic downforce, crazed acceleration and a snorting, angry soundtrack that mixed venomous twin-turbocharged V8 with the manic whirr of electric motors. Not so much a car as a force of nature. And now there’s this: The W1. It’s a true successor to the P1 with a similar brief and, on the face of it, it evolves rather than radically reinvents McLaren’s vision for the ultimate hypercar. This is not a criticism. How could it be when the result is this dramatic and has such staggering, other-worldly potential? The W1 has 1258bhp delivered to the rear wheels. It’s capable of 0-124 mph in 5.8-seconds, the quarter mile in 9.6-seconds at 167 mph and produces 2205lbs of downforce at 174 mph. The active aerodynamics – particularly a rear wing that extends way out beyond the rear of the car – are pure performance art and deliver massive aerodynamic efficiency. The result, aside from looking extremely cool, is that the W1 is McLaren’s fastest road car around a racetrack. Ever. Their benchmark circuit is the breath-taking Handling Track at the Nardo proving ground in southern Italy, where the W1 beats their previous benchmark, the flyweight McLaren Senna, by three seconds per lap. Or “a lifetime” as they call it in racing. Maybe two lifetimes! Core to the W1’s performance is the new ‘Aerocell’ carbon fibre tub. With integrated seats and a raised footwell to allow for inboard pushrod-operated front suspension – which in turn gives air a clean path to the huge underbody diffuser – it’s light, stiff, space efficient and has been instrumental in McLaren realising a full ground-effect concept. Just like last year’s F1 cars, which were the fastest ever made. There is also an active front wing and the aforementioned complex rear wing dubbed ‘Active Long Tail’. All of which is very admirable. But the ‘anhedral’ or gullwing doors and the fantastically shirnked-wrapped feel to the minimalist, highly-focussed interior are a pretty good side effect. The W1 feels special. Those fixed seats are perhaps a shade more upright than expected, and the driving position is less obviously racecar than, for example, the Aston Martin Valhalla or Ferrari F80. However, once you’ve adjusted the pedals (they move on a slider) and the delicate, slim-rimmed and alcantara-trimmed steering wheel, there’s an overwhelming sense of purpose. The cabin is so tightly tailored and imparts a sense of lightness and agility before you so much as start the all-new 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine, which makes 916bhp all on its own and revs to 9200rpm. Reach up to a roof-mounted control panel to find the starter button. Maybe this fighter plane trope is a little corny, but somehow you feel thrilled rather than manipulated. The W1 has a sense of humour as well as all that motorsport-derived sophistication. There’s a short delay, but when the engine does fire it’s instant – as the high-powered hybrid system negates the need for an old-school starter motor. A sharp flare of revs tells you that this engine is hyper-responsive and angry. On some deep level your brain and body have been sent all the signals required to prepare for something new and intense. Ahead of us, an empty Mugello racetrack, so press and hold the blue button next to the red starter to select Race mode. The centre display graphic shows the W1’s transformation in real time as it lowers by 37mm at the front and 17mm at the rear whilst simultaneously undocking all that active aero goodness. Race mode is not road legal and is geo-locked. You can show your friends and neighbours the aero dance, but it won’t allow you to select a gear to actually drive unless you’re at a circuit. Incidentally, the rocker switches either side of the display binnacle allow further options now: Toggle up the Handling control on the left for Race+ (for F1-spec super smooth tracks) or stick to Race for gnarlier ones. On the right toggle select ‘GP’ for sustained performance over a stint or ‘Sprint’ to unleash all 1258bhp for a time attack. There’s also a DRS and Boost function on the steering wheel. But I guarantee you won’t have the mental capacity to use them… Exit the pitlane, pin the throttle and W1 takes maybe a millisecond or two to gather its might (the gearing stretches to around 60mph in first, nearly 100mph in second, primarily to aid traction), but then lunges at the first turn with incredible ferocity. It instantly feels light, almost like inertia is no longer a thing. McLaren really does prize lightweight engineering, and at 3084lbs (dry) the W1 has a 278lbs advantage over the Ferrari F80. Plus, Ferrari uses figures for cars fitted with every single carbon fibre option. In reality, the gap is probably wider still. The impression of agility and stunning control continues as the track is unravelled at startling pace. The electric motor mounted to the side of the new 8-speed dual-clutch transmission is good for 342bhp and 324lb ft and it boosts any low rev lethargy the new flat-plane crank V8 might have (spoiler alert: It doesn’t appear to have any), so the W1 just feels massively, almost impossibly powerful at any revs. Even so, there’s real reward for wringing it out to 9200rpm and the power curve feels superheated but organic, too. In Race mode the steering – still hydraulically powered – has less assistance and it is noticeably heavier than other McLarens. However, that resistance is welcome as it gives you something to push against and imparts so much information about the front grip level. New Pirelli Trofeo RS tyres with a bigger front footprint than P1 or Senna really help. The front-end feels incredibly secure and the rear-axle follows with perfectly-aligned precision. The whole car feels super-stiff, completely locked into the surface and inspires confidence, but there’s an inherent agility and adjustability that means you’re quickly confident to push at its limits and really impose yourself on the chassis. It’s such a complex car but the driving experience is intuitive, and the driver feels a key contributor rather than just amazed (or terrified) observer, holding on for dear life. Every dynamic ingredient really is shockingly effective and yet has a subtlety and lightness of touch. From that delicious steering to the incredible brakes, the W1 just feels so mission-focussed, so hooked-up. Only the new 8-speed gearbox is a slightly disappointment. It’s fast and punchy, but after the scintillating energy of the Ferrari F80 ’box it feels competent rather than inspired. Other quibbles – it’s okay to quibble when the starting price is $2.1-million before tax and destination charge. Well, that new twin-turbocharged V8 sounds tightly wound and aggressive but if you have a P1 tucked in the garage you’ll miss the snorting, Darth Vader-style soundscape and all the drama that goes with it. Ferrari does this better, too. The F80 sounds deathly dull from the outside but is a riot of turbochargers, electric motors and all sorts of mechanical fury within the cockpit. Even so, the W1 is wildly entertaining on track, and the rear-drive configuration makes it more of a challenge and more satisfying than the F80 when chasing lap times or just sliding around for fun. In the Ferrari, you must second-guess what the front e-axle might do, whereas in the W1 it’s all on you. There are plenty of tools to help, including the ingenious Variable Drift Control, but somehow the W1 is more heroic. Or at least fools you into feeling more heroic – which is surely the point! On the road? Nimble, loaded with feel and sublime response. The ride is noticeably tougher than, say, a 750S but the control is ramped-up too, and with a bit more speed the whole car finds a delicious rhythm. Sport mode for the drivetrain brings some nice turbo whooshes and chirps, but the noise remains high-quality rather than extreme excitement. It is perhaps the one area the W1 feels just a little too tame. Of course, there’s nothing tame about the raw performance… which is genuinely shocking and literally hurts your neck muscles after a few hours. How McLaren has given the W1 such immense traction through just two driven wheels is beyond me. So, is it worthy of that ‘1’? I think so. Perhaps we won’t be talking about $25-million auction results for the W1 in 30 years from now, as we are for the F1. Perhaps it doesn’t quite have the amazing presence and jaw-dropping star quality of the simply gorgeous P1. But it is such an intense experience and the way it marries stunning track performance with delicate poise and entertainment on normal roads is something akin to magic. Maybe not ‘the one’ but definitely a searing, outrageous addition to McLaren’s fiercest family line. Just 399 W1’s will be built and they’re all sold. I’m not surprised at all.

Ferrari F76: The Prancing Horse’s First-Ever Virtual Hype...

Ferrari has just done something no one expected. After dominating Le Mans for a third straight year with the 499P, Maranello has unveiled the F76, its first-ever car created entirely for the digital world. You can’t drive it, touch it, or even see it in a showroom. Instead, it exists purely as a collectible NFT ( non-fungible token), a digital asset reserved for members of Ferrari’s exclusive Hyperclub,limited to just 100 clients, representing Ferrari’s most elite circle. This marks a clear strategy shift, targeting younger, tech-savvy entrepreneurs who view blockchain assets as a new form of collectible ownership. At first glance, the name might sound like another internal code. But F76 pays tribute to a milestone that defined Ferrari’s racing legacy, the brand’s first Le Mans win in 1949 with Luigi Chinetti and Lord Selsdon in the 166 MM barchetta, chassis number 0008M. This car also won the Mille Miglia that same year. Now, 76 years later, Ferrari is using that same competitive spirit to bridge racing heritage with digital innovation. A digital design study led by Flavio Manzoni and the Ferrari Styling Center, the F76 explores how generative algorithms and biomimetic design can reshape performance aerodynamics. Every surface, curve, and vent was calculated through a parametric design process that treats the car like a living, breathing structure. The bodywork uses topology optimization to direct airflow, cooling, and downforce exactly where needed. The most striking feature is the dual-fuselage layout, which splits the driver and passenger cells housed under their own individual glass canopies, creating a central aerodynamic channel that doubles as an active wing. If you follow classic cars, this was also something that we saw on the wild 1967 OSI Silver fox prototype. Airflow divides at the nose, travels across sculpted surfaces, and merges at the rear beneath a floating wing suspended between twin vertical fins. Every line is shaped by physics, not aesthetics alone. Elements from past projects, like the Ferrari F80, reappear here: vertical side cuts, floating front splitters, and sculpted body volumes. Even the retractable headlights nod to the 1970s and 1980s Ferraris with pop-up lights, bridging heritage and experimentation. Inside, dual cockpits sync through drive-by-wire tech, allowing both occupants to feel the same inputs in real time. It’s a fresh take on shared driving, something no physical Ferrari has attempted before. Hyperclub members could customize their F76 NFTs across multiple drops, each representing a unique, one-off digital Ferrari tied to the brand’s endurance racing program. NFTs are beginning to reshape the automotive space. They offer manufacturers like Ferrari a way to extend design experimentation without the cost or regulation limits of production. Alfa Romeo and Lamborghini have dabbled in digital collectibles, but Ferrari’s F76 marks the first time an automaker has created a fully realized concept as a functional NFT ecosystem. The move also builds on Ferrari’s decision to begin accepting Bitcoin, Ethereum, and USDC for car purchases in the United States in 2023, later expanding the service to Europe. Owning the F76 NFT connects you directly to Ferrari’s racing program and its design studio, a level of engagement previously impossible. Maranello isn’t replacing mechanical cars with pixels, far from it. But the F76 does showcase how design, ownership, and emotion will evolve in the digital age.

Ferrari Brings 40 Cars To Mugello For The 20th Anniversar...

Ferrari brings fanfare to the 20th anniversary of its XX program. The Ferrari XX program began with the FXX, the Enzo-based track-only supercar that was made specifically for some of Ferrari’s most exclusive clients to race on tracks across the globe. Along with Ferrari’s F1 Clienti, and part of Ferrari’s Corse Clienti circle, the XX program has since blossomed to include the 599 XX, a race car with a front-mounted V12, the LaFerrari-based FXX K and FXX-K Evo, and the SF90 XX, which is the first XX-branded car to be street legal. This year, the Ferrari XX program is celebrating its 20th anniversary, and to mark that incredible milestone, over 40 Ferraris are gathering at the legendary Mugello race track amidst Ferrari’s Finali Mondiali, and over 40 cars in the XX program and their client drivers will be on the circuit. The presence on the track consists of examples of the 599 XX and the 599 XX Evo, as well as the FXX K and FXX-K Evo. The gathering at Mugello, taking place from October 21 to October 26, will be especially emotional because it not only celebrates the 20th anniversary of Ferrari’s incredible XX program, but it will also close an intense season of racing for Ferrari’s Corse Clienti. Races took place in Jeddah, Monza, Le Castellet, Miami, Fuji, Barcelona, and Spa. Meanwhile, preparations are already underway for the 2026 season, which will start in Qatar before heading to Le Castellet, Mugello, then to COTA, Road Atlanta, Portimão, and Budapest, before the Finali Mondiali, where the venue is yet to be announced.

Ferrari SC40: A 1-of-1 Modern Homage to the F40

Last week, we published a deep dive into Ferrari’s one-off and coach-built masterpieces, spotlighting 24 of the 60-plus unique cars created across bespoke commissions, design studies, and concepts. The latest addition to that list is the Ferrari SC40, a new one-off that redefines what modern personalization looks like in Maranello. The SC40 is the newest car from Ferrari’s Special Projects program to join that list. The car's name pays tribute to the Ferrari F40 and it shares its mid-rear V6 hybrid architecture with the 296 GTB, packing 830 CV (841 hp) and 545 pound-feet of torque from a 3.0-liter twin-turbo engine paired with an electric motor and an 8-speed dual-clutch gearbox. The result is a 0 to 62 mph time of 2.9 seconds and a top speed of more than 205 mph. For reference, the original F40’s twin-turbo V8 produced 478 horsepower and topped out at 201 mph. That car weighed under 2,900 pounds and relied purely on mechanical grip and driver skill, while the SC40 tips the scales at 3,417 pounds (dry) and employs active aerodynamics, hybrid torque fill, and electronic stability systems to deliver power effectively to the pavement. But the real story here are the looks. Flavio Manzoni’s Styling Center recalls the legendary F40 through a lens of modern industrial design. The SC40’s long, low nose, squared proportions, and a fixed rear wing painted in a bespoke SC40 White, that express Ferrari’s current shift toward geometric and edgier forms also seen on the F80 hypercar. There’s even a subtle nod to the recently unveiled 849 Testarossa, visible in the car’s surfacing and proportional balance. The vertical lines on the front bumper, the front wings, functional door cuts, and engine cover create a structured form across the body, a design language that appears taut, deliberate, and unmistakably like a modern Ferrari. Upfront, the headlights sit at the car’s outer edges, framed by black housings that connect to a single air intake spanning the bumper. Rectangular brake ducts and slim DRLs complete the minimalist, functional look. The side features distinctive Naca ducts for the intercooler. Around back, smoked Lexan louvers expose the hybrid powertrain beneath, while a 3D-printed titanium-carbon exhaust exits through the center. The Ferrari logo is etched in negative to reveal the carbon fiber below, while “SC40” is embossed directly into the endplate of the fixed rear wing, a detail borrowed from the original F40. Inside, Ferrari revisits the F40’s legacy through materials like the carbon-Kevlar that appears in the footwells, floor mats, and steering wheel, paired with Charcoal Alcantara and red Jacquard fabric. Like all Ferrari One-Offs, the SC40 took about two years to complete, with the client working closely with the design team. A full-scale styling buck goes on display at the Ferrari Museum in Maranello on October 18. And while the SC40 captures a lot of the F40’s essence, it does not feature a manual transmission. However, there are already talks of current Ferrari F1 driver and seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton collaborating with Maranello on a true F40 successor, one that could bring the gated-shifter experience back to the prancing horse marque in the modern era.

The Next Chapter: 1000 HP Ferrari Elettrica Breaks Cover

Back in May this year, we touched upon how Ferrari was on track to showcase its Core EV technology in October. Well, that time has now come because Ferrari has just taken its biggest engineering leap since Enzo Ferrari himself founded the marque. At Capital Markets Day 2025, the company unveiled the chassis, powertrain, and core systems of its first-ever electric vehicle, the Ferrari Elettrica, the first part of a three-phase reveal. From the details, what’s immediately apparent is that this is a ground-up rethink of how to make an all-electric powertrain resonate with the emotional values of a Ferrari. Ferrari didn’t rush this. After more than a decade of hybrid development, starting with the Hybrid era in Formula 1 in 2009, the 599 HY-KERS prototype, then LaFerrari, SF90 Stradale, the 296 GTB, and more recently with the 849Testarossa. The Elettrica represents the culmination of that journey. It’s powered by over 60 patented technologies, built almost entirely in-house at Maranello as previously confirmed by CEO Benedetto Vigna. It is engineered to deliver the same immediacy and precision that have defined every V8 or V12 Ferrari since. Coming to the specifications, the Elettrica exceeds 1,000 cv (which is about 986 horsepower) in boost mode, can hit 62 mph in 2.5 seconds, and tops out at 193 mph. It carries an energy-dense 122 kWh structural battery pack, with 800 V architecture, and can fast charge up to 350 kW. Range? Over 329 miles on the WLTP cycle. Despite weighing roughly 5,070 pounds, it crucially maintains Ferrari’s trademark 47/53 weight balance. The center of gravity sits a full 3.15 inches lower than any comparable internal combustion model. That low-slung balance comes from the battery’s full integration into the chassis. Ferrari has actually designed it as a structural element, not a separate slab as in most high-performance EVs, using die-cast compression plates that also serve as mounting points. 15 modules house 210 high-density cells (305 Wh/kg, 159 Ah), arranged for minimal inertia and maximum safety. A single fuse can isolate 2,000 A in three milliseconds if something goes wrong. You can even remove and service the battery on a carrier-proof Ferrari. Another significant development is Ferrari's first-ever rear sub-frame. Each e-axle pack is impressively powerful, with the front producing 210 kW (282 horsepower) and 3,500 Nm (2,581 pound-feet) of torque, and can decouple at any speed, and shifts to pure rear-wheel drive on command. The rear axle puts out 620 kW (832 horsepower) with up to a staggering 8,000 Nm (5,900 pound-feet) to the wheels in Performance Launch mode. The motors upfront can spin up to 30,000 r.pm, and the ones in the rear, 25,500 rpm. The torque vectoring on each axle allows you to further adjust the longitudinal load. All components, transmissions, inverters, and casings are cast in-house from 75 percent recycled aluminum. Dry-sump lubrication, integrated cooling, and a park-lock mechanism keep everything compact and light. The front inverter, weighing just 20 pounds, delivers 300 kW and uses silicon-carbide modules that switch between 10 and 42 kHz for precise torque response and minimal electrical noise. The Vehicle Control Unit refreshes dynamic parameters 200 times a second, managing suspension, steering, and torque distribution in real time. Ferrari’s third-generation 48 V active suspension, first seen on the Purosangue and subsequently the F80 hypercar, makes another leap here. Each shock now has a longer-pitch recirculating ball screw, shedding 4.4 pounds per unit while adding integrated thermocouples for oil temperature monitoring. Every wheel can also control vertical, lateral, and longitudinal forces independently, effectively giving the car four active corners with four-wheel steering, working in concert with the quad electric motors with roots in F1. Sound is by far one of the most invigorating elements of any Ferrari, and the Italian automaker has thankfully avoided artificial speaker trickery. Instead, a rigid accelerometer on the inverter picks up the actual mechanical frequencies of the powertrain, producing a sound that scales naturally with throttle input. Quiet when cruising, expressive when pushed. Complementing that sound is the control interface, which remains classic Ferrari. Here, the paddles don't control a traditional gearbox. On the left paddle, you can dial in regenerative braking levels, creating the same tactile feel as engine braking. The right-side Manettino governs dynamics (with new Dry mode), while the left-side eManettino controls three powertrain modes: Range, Tour, and Performance. Each setting adjusts power delivery, axle engagement, and available torque for the conditions you’re in. Torque Shift Engagement gives you five selectable torque levels, accessed through the right paddle. Even the tires are bespoke. Ferrari worked with three suppliers to reduce rolling resistance by 15 percent without losing grip. Five versions exist: three summer compounds, one winter, and one run-flat. The lower inertia of the EV layout reduced load transfer between axles, opening up new options for tire construction and tuning. Being designed by ex-Apple designer Jony Ive, and set to be built at Ferrari's new $200 million purpose-built facility north of Maranello, the Elettrica’s interior will debut in early 2026, followed by the full reveal in spring next year. This first look at Ferrari's next chapter is a significant one. While a second EV won't happen until 2028, Ferrari's message is clear. It isn’t chasing anyone in this EV race. It is instead building its own path, one where physics, materials, and crucially, emotion align with its core values, only now the energy will come from electrons.

Ferrari Completes New e-Vortex Test Track In 4 Months

Ferrari completes a new test track to trial its future cohort of supercars. For nearly 80 years, Ferrari has been known for its consistent presence in the highest echelons of motorsport, as well as in the world of supercars and performance cars. With its latest lineup featuring hybrid and ICE-powered models that represent some of the most cutting-edge, luxurious, beautiful, exclusive, and powerful vehicles on the market today, as well as a motorsport track record that includes three Le Mans wins in a row, Ferrari is still very much on top of the automotive world. However, a new era is on the horizon, and with it comes the construction of a new test track alongside Ferrari’s iconic Fiorano Circuit. It’s called the e-Vortex, and the new test circuit took only four months to complete, with roughly a mile and a quarter of length, and sections throughout meant to test new Ferraris fresh off the production line repeatedly for various driving situations in a safe environment. The new e-Vortex test track is said to help testing be “gradually transferred from the road to the track,” with its design helping Ferrari objectively assess performance or detect anomalies. Another aim of the new test circuit is to reduce traffic in the surrounding area. In addition to the new e-Vortex test circuit, a new overhaul workshop, with nearly 11,000 square feet of space, has been built as well, meant to house checks and work on the cars. Ready for a new era of the Prancing Horse, the new e-Vortex test track has been completed to make sure a new herd of Ferraris is as incredible as it can be.

Ferrari Cavalcade Classiche Journeys Through South Tyrol,...

Stunning Dolomite vistas will be enhanced by a parade of classic Ferraris. The Italian province of South Tyrol is known for ski resorts, beautiful towns, and the gorgeous views of some of the Dolomites mountain range. Recently, the region served as the venue for the Ferrari Cavalcade Classiche 2025, bringing some of the most cherished classics from the historic manufacturer to the incredible mountain passes that South Tyrol is known for. Taking place from September 23 to September 25, the Cavalcade Classiche embarked on a journey through South Tyrol with a convoy of 60 classic Ferraris. Cars like the 1948 Ferrari 166 MM, the GTO, F40, F50, and the cherished Dino 246 GT, represented a broad range of some of the greatest engineering and design feats to wear the cherished Prancing Horse. The journey started in Bressanone, heading to the first stop in Bolzano along a route that allowed the general public to see and interact with the stunning parade of cars. Alta Badia and the Fanes-Sennes-Braies Natural Park were some of the highlights of the second day of the trip, along with the Giau Pass, Lake Mosigo, Cortina d'Ampezzo, Lake Misurina, and a car show in San Candido. The final day consisted of the Erbe Pass, passing through Brunico to the destination of Novacella Abbey, with a gala dinner at Bressanone's Piazza Duomo. With a parade of some of Ferrari’s most incredible classics taking on the journey, the latest Ferrari Cavalcade Classiche was an undeniably incredible journey.

Ferrari Roma For Sale: Own "La Nuova Dolce Vita"

The Ferrari Roma might be relatively new, but it’s got what it takes to be an instant classic. The Ferrari Roma is a real hero. There’s something to be said for the joy of driving a high-performance Italian car with a front-mid-mounted engine, and rear-wheel drive, let alone one created by the masters of driving joy, Ferrari. The Roma is an absolute masterpiece of a grand tourer, with a proactively modern design that retains all of its Ferrari passion and uniquely stunning looks. The design might be different compared to what we are used to from Ferrari, but it's similar in the fact that it refuses to compromise when it comes to refusing to compromise for unparalleled beauty. While the vehicle is meant to be fun to drive and speaks to “la nuova Dolce Vita,” which means “the pleasurable way of life,” by no means it is a slouch. With the front-mid mounting of its V8 engine, the Ferrari Roma is able to mitigate the weight distribution disadvantages that come with a front-mounted engine, and create a car that is precise, athletic, and simply powerful just as much as it is beautiful and passionate. While the Ferrari Roma is a prime and quintessential example of Italian grand touring, the car is also futuristic when it comes to comfort, convenience, luxury, entertainment, and especially performance. With a starting MSRP of $226,570, it’s a beautiful, powerful, and simply a no-brainer way to start or expand a collection of Ferraris or simply a collection of the world’s greatest cars. The 2022 Ferrari Roma proves that when it comes to beautiful grand touring cars “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” Rather than fixing grand touring cars as though they were broken, Ferrari made them even better with the Roma. For those who love an open-top driving experience, Ferrari has recently revealed the new Roma Spider, a car that combines the Roma's undeniably-stunning looks with a soft convertible top, something Ferrari hasn't done since the F430 Spider of the 2000s. Combining the Roma's performance, style, and luxury with an open-top experience, the Roma Spider is a dream weekend machine in its own right, as well.
