TL;DR Summary

Ferrari has unveiled the Roma Spyder, a convertible version of its V-8 grand tourer, which features a retractable fabric roof, the first time the marque has done so since the 365GTS/4 in 1969. The soft-top can be erected in just 13.5 seconds at speeds of up to 37 mph. The car's chassis has been strengthened to support the additional 185 pounds of weight from the system, and the active rear spoiler has been redesigned to accommodate driving with the top down. The Roma Spyder's turbocharged 3.9-liter V-8 has been left untouched, and it's mated to an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic that sends 612 hp and 561 ft lbs of torque to the rear wheels.
