New Ferrari Roma Spider 2024

Fifty Years Later, a Ferrari Convertible, 612 Hp, Twin-Turbo V-8 Engine, New Ferrari Roma Spider 2024
2024 Ferrari Roma
Starting at an estimated $250,000
The Roma is Ferrari's second V-8-powered front-engine coupe, following the discontinued GTC4Lusso T. It makes good use of the 612-hp twin-turbo V-8 and rear-mounted eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The powertrain screams all the way to its 7,500-rpm redline. From the driver's seat onwards, the cabin is almost entirely equipped with a digital interface. While the Roma have back seats, they're mostly there in spirit rather than actual use, but it feels surprisingly roomy inside. This quarter-million-dollar Ferrari will use hundreds of its prancing horses to summon the butterflies in your stomach.
Ferrari is removing the fabric roof for the 2024 Rome and adding a new Convertible Spider version. The automaker claims the sunroof adds just 185 pounds to the coupe, rising and falling in just 13.5 seconds at speeds up to 37 mph.
Stuffed under the Rome's long hood and mounted near the middle of the car is a turbocharged 3.9-liter V-8 that produces 612 horsepower and 561 pound-feet of torque. It's mated to the eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission (DCT) first seen in the even more exotic Ferrari SF90 Stradale. Its high-revving V-8 produces great sounds, and the DCT adapts quickly to quick-shifting demands, especially when you turn the drive mode dial to Sport or Race.
With a powerful engine and sporty claims, the Roma is not fooling anyone that it will be particularly fuel efficient. The coupe is rated at 17 mpg in the city and 22 mpg on the highway.
Stitched in leather and covered in faux suede, the Roma's interior combines luxurious materials with a unique layout. Each front-seat passenger is enveloped in a large instrument panel that extends into the doors and floating center console. The driver faces a huge 16-inch all-digital instrument cluster that responds to tactile controls on the Roma's button-heavy, flat-bottomed steering wheel. A pair of rear seats make it a 2+2 coupe, and as long as the front seats are adjusted appropriately, the space is actually suitable for adults making short spurts.
Despite bearing the iconic Prancing Horse logo, the Roma looks more like a grand tourer than a focused athletics star. As a result, it offers passengers more infotainment and connectivity features than other Ferrari models. This includes a vertically mounted 8.4-inch touchscreen, as well as a separate screen for the front passenger.
