2024 Ferrari Roma Spider finished in a classic Nero Purosangue color, represents a return to elegance and restraint, but beneath the surface lies a grand tourer that delivers blistering performance with unmistakable character. A modern Ferrari in every way, it wears its inspiration from the golden age of Italian design with pride while offering the latest technology and engineering to create a convertible that excels both as a driving machine and a luxury object.
At the heart of the Roma Spider is a 3.9-litre twin-turbocharged V8 that delivers 612 horsepower and 760 Nm of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through an eight-speed dual-clutch F1-style gearbox, which provides lightning-fast gear changes and seamless transitions between relaxed touring and aggressive driving. The result is acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.4 seconds, with 0 to 200 km/h taking 9.7 seconds. The car continues on to a top speed of over 320 km/h, placing it firmly among the fastest open-top GTs on the road today.
Despite its performance credentials, the Roma Spider manages reasonable efficiency for a supercar, returning a combined consumption of approximately 11.4 litres per 100 km and CO₂ emissions of 258 g/km. It meets Euro 6d regulations and offers an 80-litre fuel tank for long-distance capability, making it suitable for both spirited driving and extended grand touring. The F1-Trac traction system, electronic differential (E-Diff 3), and adaptive Magneride dual-mode suspension work together to ensure maximum traction, comfort and agility regardless of road conditions.
The exterior design blends sculpted aggression with refined proportions. The paint finish in Nero Purosangue is complemented by black tailpipes, a fabric soft top in black, and 20-inch forged dark alloy wheels. Behind the wheels sit yellow brake calipers paired with a carbon-ceramic braking system for consistent stopping power. Scuderia Ferrari shields adorn the front wings, highlighting its heritage and motorsport pedigree. The roof folds away in just 13.5 seconds, even at speeds of up to 60 km/h, allowing the car to transform between coupe and convertible on command.
Inside, the Roma Spider presents a balance between sophistication and performance-focused design. The cockpit features full electric heated and ventilated seats trimmed in perforated leather, with the passenger compartment wrapped in Tortora leather and finished with Nero stitching for contrast. The Cavallino prancing horse is elegantly stitched into the headrests, and metal treadplates with Ferrari script welcome occupants into the cabin. Even floor mats are enhanced, featuring coloured edging and embroidered logos.
The carbon fibre steering wheel is fitted with integrated LED shift lights and offers a heated rim for added comfort on cooler drives. The Manettino switch gives the driver direct access to multiple dynamic settings, allowing the Roma Spider to adapt from serene touring to razor-sharp handling at the turn of a dial. Additional elements like aluminium footrests, dual-zone climate control, and a smartphone interface with wireless charging blend practicality with craftsmanship.
Technology includes MyFerrari Connect, giving access to connected services, while the advanced front driving camera improves visibility and low-speed control. The SVR anti-theft system ensures peace of mind, and the intelligent layout of controls ensures nothing distracts from the experience behind the wheel. The boot offers a useful 255 litres of storage space, unusually practical for a car in this segment and enough to support weekend journeys with ease.
The Ferrari Roma Spider does not attempt to scream for attention. Instead, it seduces through proportion, detail, and balance. It’s a car that feels equally at home gliding along coastal roads as it does making the most of an open mountain pass. With its lightweight roof mechanism, advanced dynamics, bespoke interior materials and broad performance range, the Roma Spider is more than a convertible—it is an entirely new chapter in Ferrari’s interpretation of open-air luxury and speed.
