The first-ever Ferrari Roma is a different kind of Ferrari that puts the priority on the road first rather at the track because of its road-focused suspension and chassis setup that sets itself apart from the other relatives but being a Ferrari, it's got a lot of race-derived tech on it, meaning that even if it's prioritized to feel at home on the road, it's worth addictive to drive and you can spend lots of moments toying around with the Roma all day.
For those who are looking for the same Roma experience but prefer to have its roof off, the first-ever Roma Spider has arrived.

| 2024 Ferrari Roma Spider |
Priced somewhere at the 250K Euro mark, the Roma Spider served as the replacement for the Portofino because it's already served its purpose and the Roma takes over as Ferrari's decent grand tourer for speedo boys who like to take it to the Amalfi more than Monza.
It possesses the same characteristics as its hardtop equivalent but the Spider comes with a retractable soft-top that can be opened or closed in 13-and-a-half seconds even at cruising speeds of up to 100kph. With the roof down, the Roma Spider shows its true beauty beneath this grand touring work of art.
You can still expect the same front-mid-engined 4.0L Turbocharged V8 engine as the hardtop, producing 620PS of power and 760Nm of torque while mated to an 8-speed DCT as seen on the SF90, but because this is the open-top version, the weight has gone up by 84kg. Thankfully, the performance figures are nearly the same; meaning it can still do 0-100kph in 3.4 seconds and flat out in 320kph.
Like the hardtop, the Roma Spider puts the priority on the road first rather at the track because of its road-focused suspension and chassis setup but being a Ferrari, it's got a lot of race-derived tech on it, meaning that even if it's prioritized to feel at home on the road, it's worth addictive to drive and you can spend lots of moments toying around with it all day.
A decent replacement to the now-defunct Portofino, the Roma Spider does all of the work and play from its hardtop equivalent but with the retractable roof to show its true beauty everywhere. This is the greatest grand tourer Ferrari has ever spawned. Although not perfect, this is impossible to ignore because it's a Ferrari.
