The Ferrari Roma is the most elegant car Ferrari has made in a generation. Where the F8 and 296 GTS lead with raw performance, the Roma leads with beauty — a long bonnet, a fastback roofline, and an interior that feels more like a luxury apartment than a cockpit. And yet it is still a Ferrari: 620 hp, 0–100 km/h in 3.4 seconds, and a soundtrack from its 3.9-litre twin-turbo V8 that reminds you exactly what it is. At Ultra Lux Ride, you can hire the Ferrari Roma in Barcelona for self-drive, with delivery to your hotel or the airport.
Ferrari Roma: What You Need to Know
Engine and Performance
The Roma uses Ferrari's F154 3.9-litre twin-turbocharged V8, producing 620 hp and 760 Nm of torque. Power is delivered through an 8-speed dual-clutch gearbox — Ferrari's fastest-shifting unit — to the rear wheels. The result is a car that feels effortless at motorway pace but transforms into something entirely different when you engage Sport or Race mode. The electronically controlled exhaust opens at higher revs, and the V8 note becomes something that turns heads in tunnel sections on the way out of Barcelona.
The Interior
The Roma's cabin is one of Ferrari's most accomplished. The dual-cockpit layout places the passenger in their own clearly defined space, with a separate 8.8-inch display showing navigation and vehicle information. The driver faces a fully digital 16-inch instrument cluster with a clean, uncluttered design. Materials throughout are exceptional: leather, aluminium, and carbon fibre. It's a place you want to spend time in, which makes the Roma ideal for longer journeys across Spain.
Ride and Handling
For a car with this much power, the Roma is surprisingly composed. The active magnetorheological dampers adapt continuously to road conditions, making it genuinely comfortable on longer motorway stretches. Switch to Sport and the car tightens considerably — perfect for the mountain passes and coastal roads around Barcelona and Catalonia.
Where to Drive the Ferrari Roma in Spain
Barcelona to Marbella — The Definitive Grand Tour
This is the journey the Roma was built for. Barcelona to Marbella covers approximately 1,000 km, mixing AP-7 motorway driving along the Costa Dorada, the dramatic descent into Valencia, and then the winding coastal roads of Andalusia from Almería to Marbella. Allow two days at a relaxed pace. The Roma handles six hours of motorway with the same composure it shows on a mountain road — it never tires, and neither does its driver.
Barcelona to Girona and the Pyrenean Foothills — 180 km
Head north on the AP-7 to Girona, then take the C-66 inland towards Banyoles and the foothills of the Pyrenees. The roads become quieter and more technical as you gain altitude. The Roma's rear-wheel drive rewards precise inputs — it's a car that communicates what the rear axle is doing without ever becoming intimidating.
Coastal Route: Barcelona to Tarragona via the C-31 — 100 km
South along the coast, the C-31 passes through Castelldefels, Sitges, and Vilanova i la Geltrú before reaching Tarragona's Roman ruins. At Sitges, the road rises into the Garraf hills with hairpins and cliff-edge bends — the kind of section where the Roma's throttle response and braking feel absolutely correct. Allow three hours including a lunch stop in Sitges.
Madrid and the Sierra de Guadarrama — 620 km from Barcelona
For a multi-day hire, the drive from Barcelona to Madrid over the Sierra de Guadarrama is one of Spain's great road journeys. The N-II through Zaragoza is fast and open, and the mountain approach to Madrid from the north is spectacular. The Roma cruises this route without effort — an ideal use of a three or four-day hire.
