    True. But it was basically just a quick update made so that they would have the same power and gearbox. Ferrari was afraid that people would shy.away from the Porto if it had less power.

    Any idea what engine a Roma spider or Roma update would use? I would guess it would be a V6 setup similar to the 296.

    If they do make a Roma spider, I think it just might persuade me to trade my Portofino!

    No idea. Haven't asked as I don't really have any interest in either.

    Will Roma spider be soft or hard top?

    Highly doubt we will ever see a soft top spider again from Ferrari, similar to a manual.

    One of the things I have noticed with the new designs is that Manzoni and his team are designing the cars to work both as a coupe and hardtop spider (with roof off or on). SF90S is a perfect example. Roma will probably be another such design and this is the reason why the back of the car is much more curvy than the front.

    August 10th I was informed (in secret so I can not name the source) that a Roma Spider with a soft top will be introduced soon. Ferrari does accept canibalization of the Portofino, but they expect that the total sales volume of the V8 front engined convertible will rise. Seems many customers want a softtop convertible... as do I. As a kind of hommage to the F355 and F348 spider. Hopefully this is true....

    Will Roma Spider still have the rear seats? And any chance of hard-top convertible Roma Spider?

    Hearing Roma Coupe and Portofino orders finish (i.e. u cant order one) very soon - so assume a Spyder needs to be available soon or dealers will have nothing to sell

    Could you please share where you heard that? Is the Roma Spyder a hard-top convertible? or a soft-top?

    Does Roma Spider have rear seats ? Is it a hard-top convertible?

    Has anyone confirmed in the US you can no longer order a Roma?

    In contrast, my local dealer just invited me to test drive a Roma in early April to consider ordering one.

    Might be Geo dependent or my dealer has fulfilled his quota - Either way hope you like it. :)

    Roma Spider is finished but due to ongoing heavy demand for Portofino M it will only be presented in the beginning of 2023.

    I really don't see how they can distinguish portofino from Roma spider. Would be same customers for both cars

    Except if the Roma Spider is a true Spider with a soft top, which may not attract the exact same range of customers who prefer having a retractable hard top.

    Soft top Roma might end up looking like 911 cabriolet- unattractive (my opinion)
