Ferrari Roma
Why 4.8: The same twin-turbo V8 family as the F8, retuned soft and wrapped in a 2+2 GT body built to out-comfort a Bentley Continental more than out-corner an F8. It picked up the California T's old job description almost exactly, depreciation included.

Sound
The same turbocharged 3.9 V8 as the F8, here silenced and softened for a car Ferrari expects to be driven through towns. There is a hard edge above 5,000 rpm, but this is deliberately the quietest version of this engine Ferrari sells.

Child seats · ISOFIX
Genuine Ferrari ISOFIX-cover parts exist for the Roma's rear seats and Top Gear/Autocar/What Car all confirm two ISOFIX points plus top tethers, though the 2+2 rear is snug enough that fitting an actual seat is a stretch.
Same Ferrari-wide restriction as the rest of the range — the front passenger seat isn't approved for universal ISOFIX.

The long version
Ferrari built this to answer the brief the California T answered a decade earlier — a daily-usable, front-engined Ferrari for buyers who want the badge without a track-day calendar — and the ownership pattern is following a familiar script. Reviewers rate it well ahead of the car it replaced, sharper steering and a genuinely handsome fixed-roof body instead of a folding hardtop, but the used market hasn't fully rewarded that improvement yet. Depreciation runs steady and unglamorous, the fate of an entry-tier Ferrari bought for the crest and the commute rather than the driving experience underneath it.
