Dubai is a city built for drivers who demand the best. Wide, smooth highways, a skyline that belongs on a film set, and a culture that embraces luxury as a daily standard — it is no surprise that exotic cars are a fixture here. Among the many ways to experience Dubai from behind the wheel, few are as complete as renting a Ferrari.

And when it comes to Ferraris, the Roma stands apart. It is not a stripped-back track machine. It is not a weekend-only statement. The Ferrari Roma is what Ferrari calls a grand tourer — a car engineered to be breathtaking to look at, effortless to drive every day, and deeply satisfying on every road Dubai has to offer, from the long straights of Sheikh Zayed Road to the sweeping approach of Palm Jumeirah.

At GMZ Car Rental, we make it possible to rent a Ferrari in Dubai with no deposit, free delivery to your hotel or apartment, and a booking process that takes minutes over WhatsApp. Here is everything you need to know about the Ferrari Roma and why it is one of the most sought-after cars in our luxury fleet.

Quick Guide: Ferrari Roma at a Glance

Before diving deeper, here are the key reasons the Ferrari Roma is perfect for Dubai:

  • A 3.9-litre twin-turbo V8 producing 612 hp and capable of 0–100 km/h in 3.4 seconds
  • An 8-speed dual-clutch gearbox delivering smooth, rapid shifts whether cruising or pushing hard
  • Top speed of 320 km/h — more than enough for any road in the UAE
  • Suspension tuned for both city comfort and high-speed stability
  • A refined, Italian-designed interior built around the driver
  • Elegant fastback proportions that draw attention wherever you park

GMZ Tip: Book the Ferrari Roma via WhatsApp in three simple steps — no deposit required. We deliver anywhere in Dubai, including airports and five-star hotels.

What Makes a Car a Grand Tourer — and Why It Matters in Dubai

The grand tourer, or GT, is a category of car with a specific purpose: to cover distance in comfort at high speed while looking exceptional doing it. The tradition stretches back to post-war Italy, when Ferrari and other Italian manufacturers created cars for long, spirited drives across the continent — cars that were fast enough to thrill but refined enough that you arrived at your destination feeling relaxed rather than wrung out.

The Ferrari Roma is the brand’s modern statement on that philosophy. It draws direct design inspiration from Ferrari GTs of the 1950s and 1960s, cars celebrated for their flowing lines and balanced proportions. The Roma carries those lessons forward into a fully contemporary package, with aerodynamic bodywork, a driver-focused cockpit, and an engine that rewards both gentle cruising and full-throttle acceleration.

For Dubai, that combination is close to ideal. The city’s road network encourages long, fast drives. The inter-emirate highways connect Dubai to Abu Dhabi and Sharjah at speeds where a comfortable, stable car is far preferable to a jarring, track-tuned machine. And Dubai’s social scene — high-end restaurants in DIFC, rooftop events on Palm Jumeirah, arrivals at Atlantis or the Burj Al Arab — demands a car that looks the part at low speed just as much as it performs at high speed. The Roma delivers on both.

Italian Design Built for Dubai’s Luxury Lifestyle

From the moment you see it, the Ferrari Roma communicates elegance rather than aggression. The fastback roofline flows smoothly from the windscreen to the rear deck. The body panels are clean and taut, free from excessive aerodynamic appendages. The integrated LED headlights wrap around the nose with a precision that makes the car look sculpted rather than assembled.

This restraint is deliberate. Ferrari designed the Roma to appeal to drivers who want to express taste and sophistication, not just speed. In a city where appearance is part of the experience, the Roma fits naturally into the most prestigious addresses in Dubai — pulling up outside a Michelin-starred restaurant, entering the valet at a luxury hotel, arriving at a business meeting in the financial district. It is a car that earns admiring looks without demanding them.

Available in a range of classic and contemporary colours — from understated greys and whites to rich reds — the Roma suits both those who prefer a low-profile presence and those who want their Ferrari to be unmistakably red. Either way, the shape does the talking.

Performance Built for the Real World

The Ferrari Roma is powered by a 3.9-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine that has won the International Engine of the Year award multiple times. In the Roma, it produces 612 horsepower and is paired with an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission — the same gearbox architecture first seen on the SF90 Stradale — delivering shifts that are near-instantaneous under acceleration.

The numbers are impressive: 0 to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds, a top speed of 320 km/h. But what makes the Roma special is how it delivers that performance. The power comes on progressively rather than violently. The gearbox changes up and down in a way that feels natural in traffic and spectacular when you want to push. The steering is precise without being twitchy.

Ferrari’s Side Slip Control 6.0 system — derived from their Formula 1 programme — manages traction and stability continuously in the background, giving the driver confidence without ever feeling intrusive. The result is a car that rewards confident driving without punishing the moments when you are simply cruising.

Unlike Ferrari’s more extreme models, such as the SF90 Stradale or the 488 Pista, the Roma is not tuned for maximum downforce or peak lap times. Its suspension is softer, its power delivery is smoother, and its interior is quieter. These are not compromises — they are choices that make the car far more enjoyable across the varied conditions of daily Dubai driving.

Driving the Ferrari Roma on Dubai Roads

Dubai’s road infrastructure is some of the best in the world — wide lanes, excellent surfaces, and long stretches where a powerful car can be driven at legal speeds with room to breathe. Sheikh Zayed Road, the E11, and the highway approaching Abu Dhabi are all environments where the Roma feels completely at home.

On the Highway

At motorway speeds, the Roma settles into a composed, stable cruise. The aerodynamics — including an active rear spoiler — manage lift at speed without making the car feel planted in a heavy, unresponsive way. Wind noise is well suppressed. The adaptive cruise control handles stop-and-go sections on busier stretches. It is genuinely easy to cover long distances without fatigue.

In the City

In urban traffic — around Downtown Dubai, Business Bay, or Marina — the Roma proves more manageable than you might expect of a Ferrari. The suspension absorbs road imperfections smoothly, the power delivery at low speeds is predictable, and the 8-speed gearbox never hunts or hesitates. Parking sensors and a rear camera take the anxiety out of tight spaces. You can relax at traffic lights and enjoy the interior rather than battling the car.

On Iconic Dubai Roads

Driving the Roma along Jumeirah Beach Road at dusk, or looping through the Palm Jumeirah fronds, or accelerating up the elevated section of Sheikh Zayed Road as the skyline appears ahead — these are experiences that match the car precisely. The Roma was designed for exactly this kind of journey: fast, beautiful, and effortless.

Interior: Where Comfort Meets Ferrari DNA

Step inside the Ferrari Roma and you find a cabin that is genuinely luxurious. Soft leather, Alcantara trim, and carbon fibre accents cover the main surfaces. The seats are supportive and comfortable for long drives. The cabin is quiet enough for conversation at motorway speeds, which is not something you can say of every Ferrari.

The driver faces a fully digital instrument cluster that provides clear performance data, navigation, and driving mode information. A large central touchscreen handles connectivity, climate control, and media. The multifunction steering wheel puts the most important controls within reach of your fingers — drive mode selection, paddle shifters, and the engine start button — so you never need to take your hands off the wheel.

The Roma is a 2+2 coupe, meaning there are two small rear seats. They are not designed for long adult journeys, but they provide genuine flexibility for shorter trips with friends or colleagues, or additional luggage space when the rear seats are folded.

Driver assistance systems include adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assistance, parking sensors front and rear, and a rearview camera. These modern conveniences sit alongside the Ferrari-specific technology without diluting the driving experience — they enhance it.

Who Is the Ferrari Roma Perfect For in Dubai?

The Roma is a versatile car that suits a range of drivers and occasions. Here is who gets the most from it:

Business Travellers and Corporate Clients

If you are in Dubai for meetings, events, or an extended business stay, the Ferrari Roma makes every journey an experience rather than a commute. It is appropriate for client-facing appearances in DIFC or Downtown, it is refined enough to take to the airport, and it is genuinely enjoyable to drive in between. It projects confidence and taste without the showiness of a Lamborghini or the formality of a Rolls-Royce — a car that says you have arrived on your own terms.

Tourists Who Want the Full Dubai Experience

Dubai rewards those who explore it properly. The landmarks, the beaches, the desert edge, the inter-emirate drives — all of these are better experienced from a car that adds to the journey rather than just serving as transport. The Roma’s comfort on longer drives, its striking appearance at every destination, and the sheer satisfaction of driving a Ferrari through one of the world’s most extraordinary cities make it the standout choice for visitors who want something memorable.

Drivers Who Want Ferrari Performance Without the Extremes

Not every Ferrari driver wants a stiff ride and a deafening exhaust note. If you want the genuine Ferrari experience — the engine note, the performance, the craftsmanship, the badge — but delivered in a package that is liveable every day, the Roma is the model that makes most sense. It is the Ferrari you can use as your primary car for a week in Dubai and feel entirely comfortable doing so.

Why the Ferrari Roma Is Ideal for Long Drives and Daily Use

One of the Roma’s defining qualities is that it does not ask anything unreasonable of its driver. Many high-performance cars demand your full attention at all times. The Roma does not. It rewards engagement when you want it, but it is perfectly content to cruise.

  • The suspension manages road imperfections without drama, including on the slightly rougher surfaces you occasionally find on older Dubai roads and on inter-emirate highways
  • The engine’s twin turbos provide effortless power from low RPM, so overtaking on the Abu Dhabi highway or accelerating away from a junction never requires planning
  • The gearbox is smooth enough in automatic mode that you can simply leave it there and enjoy the drive
  • The air conditioning is powerful — important in Dubai’s climate — and the cabin stays cool efficiently
  • Visibility is reasonable for a sports car, and the driver assistance systems reduce the cognitive load of heavy traffic
  • For those considering a Ferrari for purchase, renting the Roma first is a smart way to understand what ownership would feel like. A week driving it daily across Dubai tells you more than any test drive.
