To truly understand their differences, nothing beats a detailed comparison of their engines, interiors, and, why not, their prices. Will you opt for a traditional, high-quality driving experience, or will you succumb to the allure of automotive innovation? Find the answers in this comparison of these two elegant cars.
The battle of the looks
Looking at the two body styles, the Italian firm invites us to choose sides. Yes, the Portofino M is a GT Spider with a sunroof and flowing, sumptuous lines, like a waking dream of a getaway on the Adriatic coast. Owning this vehicle guarantees you’ll have the wind in your hair as soon as the weather permits.
For its part, the Roma boasts a timeless look that clearly evokes the glory days of Italian racing. We absolutely love its mesh grille and sleek profile. Both vehicles feature quad exhaust pipes and LED headlights that flash brilliantly.
Inside the cabin, the ultimate in refinement
It’s safe to say that the Roma’s interior is more futuristic than its competitor’s. Indeed, the driver’s seat is separated from the passenger seat by an elegant, sloping column, and the touchscreen is vertical—a welcome change! A touchscreen is available as an option for the passenger.
The Portofino offers a more conventional technological solution, but makes up for it with its cargo space. Unlike the Roma, which has tiny rear seats, the Portofino convertible can comfortably accommodate two passengers in the back.
Similar performance, different driving experience
| Portofino M | Rome | |
|---|---|---|
| Engine | 3.9L turbocharged V8 | 3.9L turbocharged V8 |
| Total engine displacement | 3855 cc | 3855 cc |
| Power | 620 hp / 560 lb-pi | 620 hp / 560 lb-pi |
| 0 to 100 km/h | 3.45 seconds | 3.4 seconds |
| Maximum speed | 320 km/h | 320 km/h |
While the performance figures are quite similar on paper, driving experts agree that the Roma offers a more exhilarating and innovative driving experience. Of course, the starting price is indicative, and the final cost depends on the numerous options available for both vehicles, which are highly customizable.
