Ferrari Roma Special Edition

In 1992, Ferrari entered the Chinese market, where the sales of its cars grow year after year. Now celebrating three decades of success, the Italian brand has prepared a special edition Ferrari Roma.

The car was designed by Tailor Made, Ferrari’s modification and personalization program, in collaboration with Chinese designer Jiang Qiong’er. The inspiration was traditional Chinese aesthetics and craftsmanship. Qiong’er is known for her work rooted in the subtlety, beauty and heritage of Chinese culture. She brought together concepts and expertise to achieve a synthesis of Italian design philosophy and Chinese design and decor.

The unique model is an eye magnet. It is finished in Sanusilver Matte and Rosso Magma Glossy colors which pay homage to the traditional Chinese red color. The lines that run through the body and into the interior are inspired by the characteristic details of the classic furniture of the Ming Dynasty.

The car is equipped with a lifestyle package designed by Qiong’er that includes a set of four aroma diffusers (one for each season made of ebony and crystal), a tea party set, an ebony cigarette case, cashmere blankets, a Chinese set chess made of agate and leather.
