Ferrari is proud of its Italian routes but that doesn’t stop them from honoring its successful motorsport heritage in the historic race of Tour de France. The pictured Roma was personalized via the Ferrari Tailor Made program, featuring the French Tricolour both inside and out.
The unique livery of the grand tourer is based on a striking light blue shade. The red, white, and blue stripes running through the bonnet, roof, and rear deck are a reference to the French flag. As a finishing touch, the Roma got motorsport decals with the number 4 on the front fenders. The five-spoke wheels and yellow brake calipers remain unchanged.

Inside, the owner opted for different colors for the seats, similar to what Fiat does with the much cheaper 500e RED. In the Ferrari, the driver’s seat is finished in Frau Cremisi (red) leather, and the passenger’s seat in Frau Blu Notte (blue) leather, contrasting the white piping of the cabin. The center console features a beautiful piece of wood around the transmission selector, while the storage compartment underneath looks like it is covered in fabric.
The Ferrari Roma comes fitted with a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine producing 612 hp (456 kW / 620 PS) and 761 Nm (561 lb-ft) of torque. Power is transmitted to the rear axle exclusively through an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic.
Tour de France was held between 1899 and 1986, with Ferrari models being a common sight on the winner’s podium. According to Wikipedia, the Italian brand won no less than 13 times between 1951 and 1986, with most of the trophy winners being different versions of the Ferrari 250.
This is not the first time that Ferrari honors the historic race, as the limited-production and track-focused F12tdf that debuted in 2015 had Tour de France permanently attached to its name.
