Ferrari Portofino
The Ferrari Roma runs a 3.9-litre twin-turbocharged V8 producing 620 hp — and its character shifts entirely depending on what you ask of it. At idle, the engine settles into a deep, composed baritone: calm enough for a valet drop-off at a DIFC tower or a slow cruise along Jumeirah. Press the accelerator with intent, and the tone transforms — a sharp, layered roar with crisp pops on every upshift.
The Manettino dial on the steering wheel moves you between Comfort and Sport modes. Comfort keeps throttle response measured and suspension compliant, which matters on Dubai’s urban roads. Sport sharpens steering weight and throttle immediacy without making the ride punishing. Inside, hand-stitched Poltrona Frau leather covers the seats, and the cabin’s precision-finished surfaces read as confident restraint rather than excess. It’s one of those rare interiors that feels considered rather than decorated.
The Roma is built as a grand tourer — fast, composed, and polished enough for Dubai’s most visible addresses. Here is where it belongs:
The Roma’s silhouette is instantly recognizable, and its GT proportions keep it boardroom-appropriate. Two briefcases fit in the 272-litre boot alongside a laptop bag — enough for a full workday.
The 2+2 cabin accommodates two adults upfront in comfort and two children in the rear (ISOFIX-equipped). The boot fits two cabin-size suitcases (up to 55×40×20 cm each) — a practical choice for couples arriving at DXB or DWC.
The Roma earns its place at dusk, when Dubai’s waterfront lights frame the long hood and rear haunches. The V8 at moderate throttle delivers enough soundtrack to enjoy without drawing unwanted attention.
The Roma’s proportions — long bonnet, fastback roofline, sculpted flanks — photograph exceptionally well against Dubai’s skyline. Meydan Bridge (the wave-shaped blue bridge) is one of the most effective backdrops in the city. Arrive after 23:00 for clear roads and unobstructed angles.

Tip: Dubai enforces a 20 km/h speed buffer on most roads — radar cameras trigger at 20 km/h above the posted limit.
Abu Dhabi does not apply this buffer, so maintain posted limits precisely if you drive outside Dubai.
Two strong alternatives in our fleet deserve an honest comparison.
The 911 Turbo S is faster in raw numbers and more aggressive in character. But the Roma offers something the 911 does not — an 8-speed AMT that delivers immediate throttle response with minimal turbo lag, making it noticeably more fluid in Dubai’s stop-start traffic. The Roma also sits lower visually and carries a GT elegance that the 911’s sports-car profile simply cannot replicate.
The Continental GT prioritizes passenger comfort and broad-spectrum luxury. It weighs over 2,000 kg, which dulls steering feel and reduces driver engagement. The Roma is significantly lighter, with steering that responds immediately and a chassis that communicates road texture directly. If the driver’s experience matters as much as the passenger’s, the Roma wins clearly.
The Roma’s defining advantage: GT comfort combined with genuine driving involvement — a combination that the 911’s aggression and the Continental’s isolation each miss in their own way. If you’re drawn to sport cars but want something with the poise of a grand tourer, the Roma occupies that space almost uniquely.
Dubai suits the Roma well — perhaps better than most cities. Wide, smooth boulevards like Sheikh Zayed Road give the V8 room to breathe between lights. Comfort mode handles expansion joints and the occasional patchy tarmac near older districts without drama. On the Palm Jumeirah loop in the evening, with light traffic and the city glittering across the water, the Roma feels exactly like what Ferrari intended: effortless, composed, and quietly spectacular.
One practical note worth mentioning: the Roma has a ground clearance of approximately 13 cm. Steep hotel and mall parking ramp entrances are the most common source of front-splitter damage. If the angle looks sharp, approach at a diagonal — it usually clears fine that way.
The Roma’s daily rate decreases with the length of your booking. Renting for 30 days or more can reduce your daily rate by up to 46% compared to a 1–2 day booking — the saving on a monthly basis is substantial. All rates are final, and Brook Drive operates 100% without a deposit.
