A couple of years after its debut, Ferrari’s<\/a> latest front-engine GT is finally getting a convertible. These spy photos<\/a> show a prototype of the Ferrari Roma<\/a> Spider. It’s difficult to tell how far along the car may be based on the comprehensive camouflage, but there are some minor things we can glean.<\/p>\n

The front and sides are heavily covered, but it’s a safe bet that they’ll be virtually unchanged from the Roma<\/a> coupe. The roof area and the rear are the parts we’re most interested in, since they all need to change for a folding top. The rear trunk\/top cover seems to have a rising section that could go into some flying buttress-style cowls similar to the 812 GTS<\/a>. This might suggest the Roma convertible will also have a foldaway hardtop like the 812 and Ferrari’s other mid-engine sports cars<\/a>. This will all help the Roma have a more consistent appearance that would be difficult with more folding sections or even a soft roof.<\/p>\n

When it reaches production, the Roma should get the same twin-turbo 3.9-liter V8 making 611 horsepower and 561 pound-feet of torque and eight-speed dual-clutch transmission as the coupe. It will likely be a bit heavier. It will also likely put the future of the Portofino M<\/a> in question. The Portofino<\/a> was sort of the entry point for the Ferrari line, but it’s extremely old, having been based on the California, and it won’t have the unique sales point of being a convertible to the Roma’s coupe.<\/p>\n
