If you’re not already familiar with it, the Ferrari Roma Spider is definitely worth a look. Considered an elegant contemporary reinterpretation of the Italian refinement that defined the 1950s and 60s, this supercar, equipped with the best of today’s technology, is truly unique.
A worthy successor to the renowned Ferrari Roma, this new Spider stands out with its sleek lines and soft-top sunroof. Indeed, Ferrari hadn’t designed a convertible sports car with a front engine since 1969. Let’s explore together what Ferrari has brought us after 54 years of not venturing into building such a unique and atypical model.
Exterior and interior design
Outside
What sets the Roma Spider apart from other models of the renowned Italian brand is, of course, its redesigned soft top. Its innovative style is modern and bold, incorporating sophisticated, custom-tailored fabrics. As for practicality, the soft top deploys fully in just 13.5 seconds. Furthermore, the top can be raised or lowered while driving at speeds up to 60 km/h.
Where Ferrari truly distinguishes itself is with its rear seat system, which expands to offer more space for the passenger at the touch of a button. Finally, the Roma Spider surprises once again by offering a larger trunk than other models in the brand’s lineup. Its aluminum chassis also contributes to its remarkably light weight while maintaining breathtaking performance.
Interior
The Roma Spider’s interior is inspired by that of the Ferrari Roma. What immediately stands out is the separation between the driver and passenger, who each have a clearly defined space in a double-cockpit design, reminiscent of 1970s cars.
It also features two customizable bucket seats with up to 18 levels of adjustment. The front seats are heated and even have an optional ventilated neck warmer. Finally, a rare feature for a Ferrari, the Roma Spider offers two generous rear seats, which is far from the case for other vehicles from the Prancing Horse brand.
Engine and performance
In terms of its engine, the Ferrari Roma Spider is powered by a twin-turbo V8 that won the International Engine of the Year award for four consecutive years. This engine was even voted the best engine of the last 20 years in 2018.
This renowned twin-turbo V8 engine, with its 3,855 cc displacement, can produce up to 620 horsepower at 7,500 rpm. The engine is so powerful that it can deliver 80% of its torque at just 1,900 rpm. To help you tame this beast, Ferrari has equipped the Roma Spider with an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission that offers extremely fast shift times and formidable efficiency.
Thanks to its state-of-the-art V8 engine, the Ferrari Roma Spider accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.4 seconds and from 0 to 200 km/h in 9.7 seconds. Its braking distance from 100 km/h to 0 is a mere 32 meters. As for its top speed, the Roma Spider reaches a breathtaking 320 km/h.
Technology and driver assistance
If you think Ferraris are only good on the track, that’s not the case with this Roma Spider, which boasts the best of current technology. It features onboard Wi-Fi connectivity, as well as Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, allowing you to connect from your mobile devices.
Finally, the Roma Spider boasts the very best cutting-edge technology that has made the Italian brand famous. The supercar is even equipped with the new Side Slip Control system, which uses an algorithm developed by Ferrari to prevent the vehicle from skidding. This system also allows for the ultra-fast and highly precise coordination and implementation of technological interventions.
