Don’t get us wrong. We absolutely love what Ferrari did with the styling as far as the Roma is concerned. However, while acknowledging the Roma’s sleek lines, Frank Stephenson also argues that from his standpoint, it could have been even better.

The Best Ferrari Roma Design Breakdown You’ll Ever See

Those familiar with Frank Stephenson’s YouTube channel (a must-subscribe, by the way) know that the former McLaren, BMW, Mini, Maserati, Lancia, and Ferrari designer is very capable of explaining in simple terms why a particular car looks in a particular way.

Back in his days at Ferrari, Mr. Stephenson penned down the FXX and the F430. As you know, the latter was pretty much an evolution of the 360 Modena. A slimmer one, too, as according to Car and Driver, Stephenson believed the 360 “was always a little flabby” and “it needed to go to the gym.”

What we’re trying to say is that if there’s anyone who knows a thing or two about how Ferrari carries out its design protocols, then Frank Stephenson is your guy.

Coming back to the Roma, Mr. Stephenson starts his video by saying he likes the design overall and right after that, he clarifies why the Roma doesn’t look like an Aston Martin as some have pointed out, including Chris Harris.

From then on you’re in for a delightful watch session as the designer delves into the finer things that make the design of the Ferrari Roma stand out like it does. At the same time, he also offers a piece of his mind when it comes to what he would have done differently.
