This Ferrari is fast, pretty and talented enough to rank among the best ever

It’s an unusual car, the Roma because apparently its owners actually drive it. Photograph: Max EareyRemember Ferrari this way. Not the man – Enzo’s legacy is complex at best, tumultuous in all of his business, racing and personal lives. Nor the racing team. All teams in all sports have fluctuations in form and differential success, but Ferrari more than any other seems to swoop endlessly from dizzying highs to calamitous lows. No, remember Ferrari the car-making company this way. An open road.

While the instant-on acceleration of electric motors may well achieve that bowel-evacuating status, it will be hard and possibly impossible for those motors to achieve the legendary status of Ferrari’s dirty old petrol engines. The steering wheel itself has its own touchscreen, or at least a touch-sensitive panel that flashes up buttons for some functions but the most important button is physical. Photograph: Max Earey

The roads that loop out of Belfast, into Tyrone and Fermanagh and up over the Sperrins are arguably closer in spirit to the roads of continental Europe back in the 1950s and 1960s, when the Ferrari GT car was born. Enzo only sold cars so that he had the profits to go racing but it wasn’t long after Ferrari road-car-making kicked off in 1948 that it became clear that selling tarted-up racing chassis with number plates wasn’t going to cut it.
