    Hello guys,
    I'm Italian living few miles away from Maranello.
    A guy I know works at factory.
    The Roma Spider is ready. He said is nice.
    Soft top with rear glass.
    He shot a picture of the car in order to show me the roof design, but I have to leave the country and I couldnt see the car unfortunately...of course he will never send me the picture.

    I dont think spider can be nicer than coupè, with closed roof at least.
    And I decided to buy coupè (rosso Portofino), couple of days ago.
    Q3 or Q4 this year, expected delivery for Europe.
    I can't wait to drive it.

    I will wait for it . Not always coupe’ is better than roadster. I have a Mercedes AMG GT roadster and I find it much better than the coupe’ version . I will wait for Roma spider even if I’m very happy with my actual solution : Ferrari 812 sf and Mercedes AMG GT Roadster

    I’m happy to hear that . There were people saying it will never happen , others it will never have a soft top . Both will be real soon

    My dealer in the UK is taking orders from customers who have ordered at least one car from the factory - normal deposit of £20k. Official launch is in March

    Isot, is that a rendering or a stolen/leaked picture?

    Even though photoshop, this looks great. My biggest gripe of the Roma has always been the triangle c pillar. I prefer straight or curved.

    Not my cup of tea.

    I am also worried how it will look with the roof off!

    I'm actually more worried about how it will look with the roof up. I don't want it to look like Isot's render. I want it to look more like a Jaguar F-Type's convertible top, or a 250 GT California's for that matter, both of which allow for a flat trunk. I don't want it to have the coupe's roofline in convertible form.

    Sorry for my english, guys, I am doing my best:
    "Portofino M orders stopped few months ago. Will come Roma Spider instead. Soft top is back!. Engine still V8, it may be with extra power over the 620 hp, Still with 8 speed clutch".

    Does it still have the rear seat? Thanks for your posting.

    Interesting that the only production v8 will be the Roma s. Porto m should be done sooner versus later.

    Apparently same engine as Roma and PortoM, no extra power, and yes 4 seats indeed.

    How will this affect Porto prices and desirability do you think?

    I have a 458 Italia but am looking at a Porto as my main car but I am concerned the Roma soft top will trash the Porto market ?

    I thought it’s a hard top with fabric covering the hard top.
