Ferrari Roma Spider

The Ferrari Roma Spider’s cabin showcases a balance of comfort and performance. Upfront, the driver gets a leather-wrapped sports steering wheel with multiple controls and paddle shifters as well as a full-digital instrument display, which displays all the necessary information on the go. 

An 8.4-inch touchscreen infotainment display serves as the centerpiece of this car’s high-tech dashboard, supporting wireless Apple CarPlay and Bluetooth connectivity, and a 7-speaker sound system. The front passenger also gets his or her own 8.8-inch touchscreen display for a more personalized entertainment experience.

Aside from these, both the driver and the co-pilot are given 18-way power-adjustable seats, which offer great cushioning and support even on long-distance drives. This grand tourer also gets an additional pair of seats at the back for your occasional passengers. However, these seats are better suited for kids or smaller passengers in general. 

Additionally, the Roma Spider also comes with a boot, which offers decent room for your light baggage and weekend shopping sprees. All things considered, the Ferrari Roma Spider delivers respectable practicality for sports car standards.

In terms of dimensions, the Ferrari Roma Spider measures 4,656 mm in length, 1,974 mm in width, and 1,306 mm in height. This high-performance convertible grand tourer also comes with a 2,670-mm wheelbase.

Sleek curves and innovative aerodynamic features define the Ferrari Roma Spider’s exterior design. At the front, its sharknose-like fascia is illuminated by assertive-looking angular full-LED headlights with horizontal DRL strips. Its grille with a stylish linear pattern helps cool the engine, especially when cruising at high speeds. And, underneath, its blacked-out bumper adds a sporty touch to its front design. 

On the sides, this grand tourer’s beautiful open-top architecture can easily catch the attention of the people around it. A bespoke material was used in designing its fabric (soft) roof. Its roof’s five-layer fabric helps in dampening external noises when cruising spiritedly, enhancing the driver’s overall experience on the road. It also comes with a patented wind deflector for enhanced comfort and turbulence reduction. This grand tourer runs on 20-inch forged aluminum wheels with rims that resemble a star. 

At the back, it features a very clean modern look, illuminated by thin LED tail light strips and a high-mounted third brake light. It also comes with fog lamps for better visibility at all times. Its rear also displays a two-toned design, accentuated by a black deployable spoiler and a muscular bumper with quad exhaust pipes. 

The Ferrari Roma Spider comes with a Double Wishbone suspension at the front and a Multi-Link at the rear. This setup is credited for this grand tourer’s impeccable grip and control. Despite being a bit heavier than its coupe counterpart, it masks its weight effectively and is very confidence-inspiring to drive on the twisties. However, it wouldn’t be advisable to drive this grand tourer through Metro Manila’s harsh, uneven roads because of its low ground clearance. At the end of the day, the Roma Spider thrives more on smooth, paved highways.

The Ferrari Roma Spider is powered by a 3.9L twin-turbo V8 engine that delivers a maximum power output of 620 cv (612 hp) and a maximum torque of 760 Nm. This grand tourer utilizes a rear-wheel drivetrain and comes mated to an 8-speed F1 dual-clutch transmission system. The Roma Spider can go from 0 to 100 kmph in just 3.4 seconds and has a top speed greater than 320 kmph.

With all of these in mind, the Ferrari Roma Spider is a well-balanced cruiser. It can deliver immense power and enthusiasm out on the open road but remains less intimidating than its other higher-performance cousins. You’ll also enjoy hearing its V8 engine’s magnificent roar as you go up the rev range. 

In terms of safety, the Ferrari Roma Spider is equipped with the Prancing Horse’s Side Slip Control (SSC) 6.0, F1 Traction Control System (F1-TCS), Electronic DIfferential 3 (E-Diff3), Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC), side impact beams, and an anti-lock braking system with electronic brakeforce distribution. This grand tourer comes with four-wheel disc brakes.

The Ferrari Roma Spider stands out as a compelling option for discerning buyers seeking a luxury grand tourer that offers a highly respectable mix of comfort, practicality, and performance on the road. It is arguably one of the most versatile and beautiful vehicles that Ferrari has ever made.
