Ferrari Celebrates 30 Years in China with One-of-a-Kind Roma Model Designed by Chinese Designer Jiang Qiong'er

To mark its 30th anniversary in China, Ferrari is unveiling a unique version of its Roma model, created in collaboration with Chinese designer Jiang Qiong'er. The one-off car, which was designed by Ferrari's Tailor Made customization program, draws inspiration from traditional Chinese aesthetics and craftsmanship.

The exterior of the car features contrasting colors of Sanusilver Matte and Rosso Magma Glossy, with the latter paying homage to the traditional Chinese carmine red. Additionally, the stripes running along the body and through the interior of the car are influenced by classical Ming Dynasty furniture. The car also boasts carbon-fiber sills with a Tailor Made dedication and a key case painted in red- and gold-spotted Boluo lacquer, an ancient Chinese technique known for its unique textured finish. A gold dedication plate engraved with the jade Chinese characters for "30" also adorns the car.

 

Qiong'er, who is known for her work rooted in the subtleties, beauty, and heritage of Chinese culture, also designed a lifestyle package for the car. This package includes a set of four aroma diffusers (one for each season, made with ebony and crystal), a tea tool set painted in red- and gold-spotted Boluo lacquer, an ebony cigar box, an inkstone cigar ashtray, a tea set made using the craft of bamboo weaving, a Xuan paper kite, cashmere blankets, and a Chinese checkers set made from agate and leather. These items are stored discreetly within the car, such as in the glove compartment, armrest, and trunk.

 

Ferrari Roma is powered by a turbocharged 3.9L V8 engine that channels its considerable power through an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. That power amounts to 611 hp at 7,500 rpm and 561 lb-ft (760 Nm) of torque at 5,750 rpm, resulting in the ability to jump from 0 – 62 mph (100 km/h) in 3.4 seconds and reach a top speed of 199 mph (320 km/h).

Ferrari has come a long way since the first Ferrari was ordered in Beijing in 1992. The Italian marque now has 21 dealers nationwide in China.
