One of the latest models that
Ferrari
presented
is a tribute to one of the most beautiful and chaotic cities in the world.
It was presented in 2019 and is named after Rome.
In an event for which the cause is still unknown, a copy of this beautiful coupe
was stuck
in a narrow street in an Italian city.
In what was clearly a clear miscalculation, someone wanted to pass where the width of the rear sector of the
$ 225,000
Ferrari would
not fit and was trapped by the walls of centuries-old buildings.
The Ferrari Roma was presented in 2019 with a more classic and timeless style than previous models.
The place where the video was recorded is not known at the moment.
It was taken on a small street partially paved with cobblestones and located somewhere in Italy.
But there are thousands of streets in the European country that have these characteristics.
In general, these places are very picturesque and invite you to explore them, but in this case the driver of the supercar did not take into account that the Roma is not exactly a compact model.
At
1,974mm wide, it
has the wingspan of a pickup or large 4x4 or SUV.
In the presentation of the Roma, Ferrari spoke that the model "reinterprets in a contemporary way the lifestyle of the city of Rome".

Anyway, it seems that the car fit right in the available space.
At least in the front and folding the rear view mirrors.
But in the rear sector the situation got complicated.
In the video you can see how a man goes from one side to the other trying to decipher whether the vehicle was passing or not, to help the driver make the decision to move forward.
While from behind
a woman appears with her hands up
, allegedly angry.
The images do not show the aftermath, so you can only guess how that Ferrari was released and how much damage it took.
This also explains the excellence that some Italian brands have had for decades, led by Fiat, in the production of small cars.
A tribute to history
The Ferrari Roma is a coupe with a central front engine that has become the most "accessible" model in the Italian brand's range.
This particular sports car is characterized by a
more classic
, timeless design, with a special care in the proportions rather than in the ribs, folds and sharp edges that Ferrari had us accustomed to in recent years.

It comes equipped with a V8 turbo engine belonging to the family that has won the Engine of the Year award for 4 consecutive years.
It delivers
620 hp at 7,500 rpm
and is combined with the new 8-speed dual-clutch gearbox, which transmits power to the rear axle.
With this mechanical set it can reach a maximum speed of
320 km / h
and accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h in 3.4 seconds and from 0 to 200 km / h in 9.3 seconds.
When it was launched almost two years ago, the Italian brand highlighted that "the automobile reinterprets in a contemporary way the lifestyle of the city of Rome, typical of the 50-60s, characterized by lightness and the pleasure of living. ".
In this case, the driver unfortunately lacked that knowledge and lack of skill to drive through such tight spots.
