My Reasons for BUYING This Ferrari!
Рет қаралды 149,855
Күн бұрынThe new Ferrari Roma Spider is on order, but why!? Join me in Rome, Italy for a first drive in the new convertible that is joining the Shmeemobiles later this year. We'll run through the car, see what it's like (including a little rant), and discuss where it sits in my garage and why I've bought it!
The Roma launched a few years ago, but following the end of production of the Portofino, we now have the Roma Spider, bringing the 620hp 3.9l TT V8 to an open driving experience. A few months ago I announced that a new Roma Spider is going to be joining the Shmeemobiles in future as I placed an order a while ago for another member of my Ferrari collection.
However, there have been a lot of questions about why I would buy this car. Well, it's time to talk about all of the reasons and where it sits in the garage, what it will be used for, and why would I choose to buy one of these. There's the cliché "oh you had to buy it to get x, y or z" and it's time to discuss more about that and the real reasons it fits in the garage.
To find out what the Roma Spider is actually like to drive, I have joined HROwen Ferrari London at the customer event in Fiuggi, outside of Rome, where Ferrari have kindly made it possible for me to bring you along for part of the experience.
Thanks for watching, Tim

You bought an awful lot of new Ferraris very closely together Tim. Nothing wrong with that, it’s your money but it would appear you were ‘required to buy a few’ for your new XX allocation. That’s the perception anyway. Not criticising, just pointing it out.

I’ve owned Ferrari’s since 1984 and all he’s doing is buying the latest models because he can afford the finance. I’m 6’1 tall and found the Roma Spider too cramped. The fabric roof invites attempts to break-in too. The Portofino M may still be available as they said the Roma Spider was not a replacement for it. Harry said the Portofino M would be his choice. I’ve driven one too & it’s much better on space & I like it’s looks better! Shmee doesn’t really live in the real world and he’s an influencer, he’s being used to sell product!

@@Shmee150 Tim, I hope you won’t get this to be a hateful comment because it’s aimed at showing you the mentality we, watchers, usually have. People watch more than one channel so just listening blindly to a single guy’s reasoning isn’t going to cut it for a regular person. For example one may watch yourself, JWW, Seen Through Glass, Stradman and DDR. So we have 6 channels, 6 opinions on the same topic so at the end of the day the watcher will try to come to a conclusion based on those opinions which some might coincide and some might be contradictory. Some of the watchers may have the benefit of their own personal experience on top of what I just said. For instance your spat with the DDE logos on your gumball cars. In my opinion you were in the wrong because you look at them as competitors but they argued they were sponsors of the rally and instead of you addressing stuff or a direct apology chose to sweep things under the rug. However let’s go back to the Roma. I’m not saying you dislike the car, it’s a Ferrari and every unit is special in it’s own way, but you own another convertible prancing horse although one is front engine, the other one is a mid engine hibrid, but I’m sure that people here have a point because you’re a smart business person and having 2 relatively entry level cars from the same manufacturer can be perceived as an overkill. At the end of the day it’s your own business how you spend your money but sometimes it’s best not to offer any explanation just for the sake of it, leave it alone and move on because you’ll enjoy every minute of owning that car…getting hit by the depreciation is a different story though. And, while I’m here commenting, you’re a very knowledgeable person and it’s unbelievable how many things you know about cars and about the community. The access you have to cars and people is amazing. You’re a likable, positive, person but sometimes the repetitive content gets annoying and I’d suggest to choose quality over quantity when it comes to uploads. Some stuff are utterly boring as opposed to your roadtrips, the track experiences and the series you did with the road to Zenvo. Again, not a dig, it’s a personal opinion with no bias. Hope you respect the effort of writing such a long comment.

I don’t disagree that he is roped in to play the Ferrari game. But it’s not like hasn’t done it before. He hasn’t bought a McLaren since the Senna (and he’s since sold that) and no news on a new AMG since the AMG GT BS (and he’s sold the C63, G63, AMG GT Pro, and AMG GT Roadster since). That being said, he loves the brand, he’s not been shy about it. If they force him to get a line up so he can get the allocation he wants, he’s got choices. And it’s not like the cars he’s bought he isn’t enjoying. He’s driving them like they are meant to be driven. And I do see a future where the SF90XX, the Purosangue, and 296 GTS are in the collection for the long haul.

Stunning car, in a terrfic color. It's like having a 250 GT Spider in 1962. Going everywhere, cruising the Veneto, powering through the Apennines, and coming up the PCH for dinner in Malibu or out Palm Springs. Old school works: luggage capacity, road clearance, soft top, got it all, with today's power braking and handling. (and you save 16 million over that '62 250!) Your reasoning for spec is spot on. Leave the goofy cosmetic packages for the Cigar Afficionado/Rob report crowd. And Congrats! You might be surprised, you might keep it for much longer than you think, a little patina on a well maintained car is quite lovely.

I’m with you Tim. It is still a Ferrari and most of the folks complaining about it will never grace the seat of one much less own one. I personally like the Roma and think it is a very understated, below the radar car. What people cannot fathom is how much attention cars like a Ferrari get from people, and I think the Roma is one that you can drive without all of the attention. I just own an Alfa Stelvio and people start discussions with me about it all of the time.

I think the tricky thing to do is balance the reasoning. Buying a car to open opportunities for access to other cars in the future and then making deliberate choices about model and specification of the “entry-level” car, versus choosing an entry-level car and its specification and, oh, just so happens this helps open doors for future more exclusive models. How this is explained is the tricky bit.

Looks nice! Would love to see all the current Ferrari Shmeemobiles on a road trip!! Obviously the SF90XX might not work on the road trip because of it being more of a track car? ?

On your rant about the "safty systems" it´s so annoying i would not get a new car right now, rather have a 2 year old one without it. Another point to consider is that the first few meters people drive they are not focused on the road, but rather try to turn everything of, or when they try to turn it off when it does not work right.

Please go with Azzuro California, it would suit the curvy lines of this car super well. It’ll also pay homage to your OG Shmeemobile convertible, the vantage roadster.

I find the point about soft-tops quite interesting. Of course this soft-top replaced the Portofino hard-top, the new BMW 4-series returned to a soft-top, the new Mercedes SL did too. I wonder if we’re gonna see more of that as time goes on?

and it is very sad.... soft top looks so cheap and ugly

@@petegeorge6605 I disagree. A good soft top is classy. A folding hard top often looks tacky.

Stunning car. The tablet is kind of a miss for me. It doesn’t seem integrated into the rest of the dash and if it’s truly intended to be a daily (which I think it could be) maybe some more traditional controls would be better.

The Roma Spyder looks like it has its collar flipped up with the top down. Fitting.

I knew I’d see all the comments about the Ferrari purchasing scheme. We all know it’s true, you’ve said so yourself. But even still congrats on the car. I know I’d take one in a heartbeat!!

I think the Roma is lovely. The 812 is probably my favorite Ferrari (also the GT4CL), but I'm guessing it's not a "daily Ferrari". The GTB also has my interest bc I like it's GT-like aesthetic, but I probably favor front engine.

I’ve seen the roma a few times and it’s actually very good looking. If I was able to, it would be a car I’d buy
@macsays2834 4 ай бұрын
Appreciate the reasons for buying, if you can, you might as well.. The Roma Spider, I think in the right spec could be gorgeous!! The only awkward aspect is those two rear seats, the high set back rear headrests just look a bit of a forced solution / after thought

Ferrari Roma definitely sounds better than Scuderia Ecosse’s Ferrari Dundee. Not jealous of you at all Tim honestly. I’ll never even see most of these cars in real life never mind own or even sit in any. Up where I am in Scotland there’s not exactly many supercars going around. 😢 I see they seemed to have calmed down the voice activation now, you actually said Ferrari lots of times without it going off every time.
@crustyclown8845 4 ай бұрын
Tim if you can stomach the losses on the SF90, and the 296 for the hopeful upsides on the others then the model works. Of course the Shmee Ferrari budget could fund a LOT of other things. Time will tell

Yeah, this and the Purosangue are both so basic.

It's funny all these people saying he's roped into buying a Ferrari, let's be honest. Do you really think Ferrari needs to force people to buy their cars and really need the publicity 😂. @Shmee150 keep doing what you do, loving the videos!, unfortunately you will always have haters! They said the same with you and Zenvo be Pagani next!

This car looks beautiful....i don't really like the looks of the newer Ferrari's as they don't really look that elegant as the old Ferrari's looked (288 GTO my all time favourite) but this one looks absolutely stunning....the sound is perfect for a GT car and doesn't make you deaf like the SF 90....and the open top experience will be amazing in this car....
@fit_pharmd4830 4 ай бұрын
You are sooo right. I won’t buy a car past 2016 or so bc of all the safety lane keep, proximity sensor, speed limit sensors, etc. They’ve replaced pops and bangs with pings and beeps 🤦♂️
