Ferrari Roma Spider: canvas roof after 54 years but still traveling at 320 km/h

The new Ferrari Roma Spider represents Ferrari's return to mass-produced, front-engined, canvas-roofed open-top cars, 54 years after the last Ferrari 365 GTS 4.

The decision to use a folding canvas roof, instead of a metal one, was made to offer greater comfort on board and to meet the car's aesthetic requirements.

The total weight of the Ferrari Roma Spider increased by 84 kg compared to the coupé version, but performance remained unchanged. Over 320 km/h top speed.

An integrated wind deflector to reduce turbulences
To ensure maximum comfort on board, Ferrari has patented a new wind deflector integrated in the rear, which reduces turbulence by up to 30 per cent compared to previous models.

A movable rear wing for aerodynamics.
The car's movable rear wing raises or lowers depending on driving conditions, increasing the load with less than 1 per cent resistance. The design of the tail takes into account the need to completely conceal the hood when travelling under the open sky.

Aerodynamic balance and comfort on board
The return to Ferrari's folding canvas roof and the subsequent development of the bodywork design posed new challenges to the team in terms of aerodynamic balance. The refinement of the shapes and the integration of the movable rear wing made it possible to achieve the same vertical load values as the coupé, while safeguarding on-board comfort with the roof open.

The mechanics of the Ferrari Roma Spider
The Spider's mechanicals are derived from those of the Ferrari Roma, with a twin-turbo 3.9-litre V8 producing 620 hp and 760 Nm with an eight-speed Dct dual-clutch gearbox. There is a new oil pump that reduces the time it takes to reach ideal cold-weather values by 70 per cent and offers greater flow at mid-range speeds.

Weight and performance
The total weight of the Ferrari Roma Spider increased by 84 kg compared to the coupé, but performance remained unchanged. Over 320 km/h top speed, 3.4 seconds to hit 100 km/h from a standstill and 9.7 seconds to reach 200 km/h.

Variable Boost Management
The Ferrari Roma Spider is also equipped with Variable Boost Management, software developed by Ferrari that varies the torque delivered according to the gear used to enjoy ever-increasing thrust while optimising consumption. As the ratios increase, the amount of torque available is increased, reaching 760 Nm in 7th and 8th gear.
