Considering practicality and performance, what kind of car is Ferrari Rome?
Due to the influence of COVID-19, the production capacity of all imported cars has been greatly affected this year. There are five Ferrari Rome cars for this test drive in Sanya. These five cars were directly airlifted from Italy to China on September 26th, and were specially used for this test drive experience. At present, there is no exhibition car of Roma in China, and the first batch of Ferrari Roma will not officially enter China until June 65438+February this year or early next year. Prior to this, Ferrari only conducted a small-scale test drive of Roman media in Europe around September of 15, so this test drive in Sanya is the first time in Asia, and the first-hand experience is very valuable.
What is Ferrari Rome?
In the definition of Ferrari, Ferrari Rome is the latest GT model, which stands for "Dolce? Vita "Italian lifestyle and elegance are unrestrained, which explains the GT tradition of the prancing horse-enjoying the unique charm and luxurious style of the prancing horse during a relaxed and pleasant trip.
The above definition is simple to understand-Roma is a car that can meet the needs of daily driving and long-distance driving, while taking into account Ferrari's super-running performance. Its positioning is very unique among Ferrari models. Compared with Portofino, the exterior interior design of Ferrari Roma is more elegant and low-key, but its performance is stronger and more complete.
And Rome is not Ferrari's first GT model. As early as the 1960s, Ferrari had a classic GT model-250? GT .
Ferrari in Rome, a lot of 250? Classic elements of GT.
Design of Roman Classical and Modern Integration
The design of Ferrari Roma is inspired by the dynamic and elegant design concept adopted by the most legendary luxury sports car of prancing horse in 1960s.
For example, Roma's front face is designed with an overhanging shark nose, which is eye-catching and simple. This design originated from 250? GT, using modern design language and material optimization. It looks like the front of the car is neat, elegant and sporty.
At the same time, Ferrari's team of designers abandoned the unnecessary vents and complicated and redundant decorative details on Rome. For example, only in the necessary position, the opening is designed as an integral grille surface to ensure the cooling performance of the engine, creating a brand-new grille design concept. The new car has not been introduced into Ferrari (Scuderia? Ferrari) shield logo, these design features are designed to echo the road vehicle design in the 1950s.
The shape of the Roman rear is very modern, and the application of a series of cutting-edge technologies has greatly optimized the taillight size of the new car and achieved a minimalist style. Linear light band and aerodynamic convex modeling complement each other and present a continuous visual effect. The compact diffuser, which integrates deflector and exhaust pipe, can be regarded as the finishing touch of the rear design.
Therefore, the design of Rome completely runs through the positioning of "GT model"-this is a low-key and elegant Ferrari, which is more suitable for daily driving.
Ultimate performance
Ferrari Roma is equipped with an engine with a maximum output of 620cv. The engine adopts brand-new cam profile design and speed sensor for measuring turbine speed, and the maximum measurable speed is increased by 5000 rpm. At the same time, the new engine meets the most stringent European 6D pollution control emission standards.
Roma is equipped with a brand-new 8-speed dual-clutch gearbox. Compared with the previous 7-speed gearbox, the structure of this gearbox is more compact, and the weight reduction of 6 kg has been successfully achieved. The gearbox also uses low-viscosity lubricating oil and dry oil pan to minimize the loss of hydraulic efficiency, so that the new car can bring more acute response when driving on the road and achieve better driving comfort under urban road conditions and start-stop conditions.
At the same time, Roma can provide five driving modes: wetland, comfort, sports, racing and ESC-off-this is the first time that Yuema brand has applied this advanced technology to GT models, which makes Roma more perfect in driving function.
The aerodynamic design of Ferrari Rome is also excellent, with strong downforce of sports car class. Compared with Ferrari Portofino, Ferrari Rome increased the downforce by 95 kg at the speed of 250 km/h, while the wind resistance only increased by 4%. In the neutral downforce mode, the rear spoiler can generate 30% of the maximum downforce, and the wind resistance increase is less than 1%.
Thanks to the new technology, the acceleration of Ferrari Roma from zero to 200 km/h takes only 9.3 seconds, and the top speed can reach 320 km/h.
The automobile system is more intelligent.
As a GT model of Ferrari, Rome needs luxurious, comfortable and intelligent interior for daily use.
The cockpit design of Ferrari Roma adopts a brand-new architectural concept. Different from other driver-centered Ferrari sports cars, Roma's cockpit adopts an almost completely symmetrical "double cockpit" design, creating a space for drivers and passengers not to interfere with each other.
The center console of Ferrari Rome model is integrated from? F 1 control button. The interior of the new car also uses the most exquisite materials of the brand, and the most representative is the full-grain Frau? Leather, alcantara? Fabric, chrome-plated aluminum, carbon fiber.
The human-computer interaction interface of Ferrari Roma has been completely redeveloped, which has achieved a substantial leap in the design field.
The instrument panel adopts full LCD instrument panel to realize full digital display, showing a "black screen" state before the vehicle starts, creating a minimalist appearance. Once the engine start button on the steering wheel is pressed, all electronic accessories will be activated one by one with a sense of ceremony until the entire cockpit is lit.
Vehicle-mounted instruments include 16-inch curved HD screen, which is convenient for reading information. In the default display, the navigation and music interface surrounds the large-screen circular tachometer. The screen size provides a very flexible and customized display mode, which can be easily operated by the control keys on the steering wheel. Taking the navigation map as an example, the full-screen display mode provided makes the use experience more convenient.
The steering wheel introduces a series of touch commands, so that the driver can completely control all the functions of the model without leaving the steering wheel.
Traditional control equipment includes manettino knob, headlights, windshield wipers and signal lights, providing five modes. In the brand-new touch control device, there is a practical touchpad on the right, which enables the driver to use navigation on the central screen and voice and cruise control on the left.
An intuitive and easy-to-use 8.4-inch HD central display screen is set between the two cabins, which integrates more functions such as infotainment, satellite navigation and temperature control.
The optional 8.8-inch color full HD touch screen takes the passenger experience to a new level. It can not only display performance data and vehicle status, but also connect with the vehicle-mounted system, so as to conveniently select songs, browse satellite navigation information and control air conditioning. To this end, passengers can experience the pleasure of galloping like pilots.
What kind of car is Roma?
Ferrari Rome's test drive in Sanya was hit by a series of typhoons, and the test drive named Beast I participated in should be the only test drive with clear weather, so fortunately I was able to fully experience Rome's performance.
Let me first talk about my own point of view: this is a very unique Ferrari, because Rome's positioning is a "GT", not a pure supercar, and Rome really does the best in this positioning.
For example, in comfort mode, when the vehicle speed is 60-70km/h, the gearbox can be shifted to 8th gear. At this time, the engine speed is only over 65,438+0,000, which is lower than that of many cars at idle speed, bringing low fuel consumption and comfortable high-speed cruise, and the suspension is soft enough.
Because the silencer was cancelled in Rome, the sound from any time will tell you that this car still hides the performance comparable to super-running.
In sports mode and competition mode, the style of the whole vehicle will immediately show the feeling of super-running, with harder suspension, more torsional body and more compact handling; When accelerating, the gearbox downshifts more actively, and the dynamic performance of the engine is also worthy of the identity of "Ferrari".
Moreover, the steering ratio of Ferrari Rome is closer to the setting of super-running, and it can be full of sense of direction after turning 1 circle and a half; Compared with Portofino, Rome has a higher degree of brake adjustment and a shorter stroke of the brake pedal, so the style of intense driving is closer to the setting of Ferrari's mid-range supercar.
Therefore, just because Rome is the cheapest Ferrari at present, it cannot be positioned as an "entry-level" model. Rome is a Ferrari with a unique personality, and it is a car that completely interprets the positioning of "GT". I think Ferrari Rome will be very attractive to people who like GT models, coupes, station wagons and various crossover models.
