New Delhi: Ferrari Roma Spider, the latest model from the Maranello marque, has made its debut in public.
With its 620cv, twin-turbo V8 and vehicles dynamics systems from the Ferrari Roma,
the new Ferrari Roma Spider offers an unmatched combination of timeless elegance,
driving thrills, performance and on-board comfort, according to a statement by the company.
The high-performance elegant vehicle has 8 gears and optimum transmission efficiency.
Fuel consumption in urban and motorway contexts has been reduced without compromising on performance, according to the company statement.
It uses low-viscosity oil and a dry sump configuration to minimise fluid-dynamic efficiency losses (oil splashing) in addition to the use of a specially-designed differential (with the input pinion axis not offset to reduce slip speed.
“This spider carries over the proportions, volumes and specifications of the Ferrari Roma’s hugely successful V8 2+concept, but what makes it so striking is the adoption of a soft top, a solution making a welcome return to the Prancing Horse range on a front-engined car 54 years after the 1969 365 GTS4,” the statement said.
There’s a novel and modern take on the soft-top design that underlines the Ferrari Roma
Spider’s exuberant character, with extensive personalisation options that include
sophisticated, bespoke fabrics and contrasting stitching.
On a functional level, the soft top deploys in just 13.5 seconds and can be actioned at up to 60 km/h.
The fact that it is so compact also yields a larger boot and boosts the car’s versatility.
A new, patented wind deflector integrated into the backrest of the rear bench can be deployed by a button on the central tunnel, guaranteeing exceptional in-car occupant comfort without taking up any space in the car.
The Ferrari Roma Spider retains the Ferrari Roma’s excellent dynamic characteristics: it
boasts a best-in-class weight/power ratio thanks not only to its soft top, but also to its all-
aluminium chassis and 620 cv V8 from the engine family that was heralded as the
International Engine of the Year on four consecutive occasions.
The engine is coupled with Ferrari’s universally-acclaimed 8-speed DCT known for its incredibly fast shift times as well as excellent standards of comfort and mechanical efficiency.
