Ferrari Roma – MPG and running costs

Use the V8 as nature intended and efficiency will be sacrificed but the Roma can eek out the miles better than most GTs of similar potency to keep costs in check

Evo rating
RRP
from £183,200
  • A beautiful car. Unerring blend of GT comfort and sports car precision. Intoxicating performance
  • Confusing control interface. Small rear seats. Options quickly inflate the price

The relatively subdued Comfort mode on the Roma certainly did the trick on the official WLTP efficiency tests. Both coupe and Spider return in the region of 25mpg on the combined cycle with CO2 emissions of 255g/km and 258g/km respectively. Actually achieving those kinds of numbers in the real world would require formidable restraint but the 80-litre fuel tank means it’s perfectly possible to extract a touring range befitting of a continent-shrinking GT car.

Our UK test of the Spider saw an indicated range of just over 300 miles on a full tank and that prediction of around 18mpg proved to be reasonably accurate on a mainly motorway run of around 150 miles. No surprises that efficiency goes south very quickly when the Roma stretches its legs and the car’s range metre does its best to reflect this, revising its estimates rapidly, and sometimes disconcertingly, according to the driving conditions. It’s better seen as a cautionary tale of how far you’ll get if you keep driving like that.
