Ferrari unveils first soft-top convertible in 50+ years with new Roma Spyder.

Ferrari has unveiled the new Roma Spyder, a convertible version of its V-8 grand tourer, which features a retractable fabric roof, the first time in more than five decades. The soft-top can be erected in just 13.5 seconds at speeds of up to 37 mph. The car's active rear spoiler has also been redesigned to accommodate driving with the top down. The Roma Spyder's turbocharged 3.9-liter V-8 has been left untouched, mated to an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic that sends 612 hp and 561 ft lbs of torque to the rear wheels. No performance numbers were mentioned, but the coupe can rocket from zero to 62 mph in 3.4 seconds and has a top speed of 199 mph.

Ferrari unveils first soft-top convertible in 50+ years.

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.

Ferrari's New Roma Spider Boasts Soft Top and 612 HP Turbo Engine.

Ferrari has added a retractable soft top to the Roma to create the Roma Spider, which replaces the Portofino M in the brand's lineup. The Spider is powered by a twin-turbo V-8 engine that produces 612 hp and can be opened in just under 14 seconds. The car is still a "2+," with rear seats that are even less useful than a traditional 2+2. The soft top produces "acoustic comfort on par with retractable hard tops." The Roma Spider is a logical evolution of Ferrari's most usable every-day car, an elegant grand tourer that prioritizes form over function.
