The 2022 Ferrari Roma is TNT on wheels, with an obscenely powerful engine, stunning appearance, and a price tag that makes it fit for royalty. But is all this enough to best the 2022 Porsche 911 Turbo, a super car so legendary that it has become an automotive icon?
Design & Style
The Porsche 911 can now be purchased in the form of a coupe, targa and cabriolet, and looks fantastic from every angle. Its frame is thick and wide, with the classic teardrop shape that never seems to age. The cabin is airy and serene, with leather seats that feel soothing to the back and automatically fit the form of whoever is lucky enough to sit in them.
The Ferrari Roma is one of the finest cars in its class. The outer sheet metal is both muscular and sleek with a design that was inspired by the grand tourers of the 1960s. Its frame is made with light weight yet durable components and the chassis has been brilliantly tuned. It now comes with an automatic dual clutch transmission, which makes it ideal for relaxed driving or track level performance.
Technology & Safety
While supercar manufacturers like Ferrari have been criticized in the past for not incorporating driver assistance gear into their cars, they’ve finally come to their senses and added them. It now has cruise control that is adaptive, blind area monitoring, and alerts for cross traffic in the rear with lane departure notifications. Its cabin is quite opulent, as one would expect, with features such as eight inch touch displays that are vertically mounted, climate control, sixteen inch digitized gauge display and premium audio.
The Porsche 911 Turbo is equipped with all the features found in the Ferrari, including night vision, a camera with surround view, stability control, lane management, blind area monitoring and emergency automated brakes. Luxuries within its cabin include keyless start, a sound system with eight speakers, 11 inch touch display, the choice of Android Auto or Apple CarPlay and climate control.
Performance
This is what both cars were made for. The Porsche 911, when purchased in the Turbo S variant, is capable of generating 640 horsepower with the ability to accelerate from zero to sixty in just 2.6 seconds, with a maximum top speed of 205 miles per hour. The Ferrari Roma is equipped with a V8, 3.9 liter engine that can generate 612 horsepower with 561 pounds of torque, enabling it to accelerate from zero to sixty in 3.1 seconds with a maximum top speed of 199 miles per hour.
The Bottom Line
While the Ferrari Roma is good, the Porsche 911 Turbo is better, with an edge in horsepower, zero to sixty acceleration time and maximum top speed. Furthermore, while the Ferrari Roma can only seat two, the 911 can seat four. But aside from all this, the Ferrari Roma currently lacks a convertible option, its steering needs more heft, and its transmission is susceptible to upshifting prematurely, making the Porsche 911 the winner.
