Ferrari Roma Spider: A NEW STORY BEGINS
The timelessly elegant, high-performance F169S is a contemporary take on the chic, pleasure-seeking Italian lifestyle of the 1950s and 60s. This spider carries over the proportions, volumes and specifications of the Ferrari Roma’s hugely successful 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 long years after its appearance on the 1969 365 GTS4. The F169S is the perfect companion on out-of-town weekends and long journeys alike. Always, of course, with the exhilarating Ferrari V8 soundtrack playing the background. The two rear seats, a category-topping boot size and standard wireless connectivity by Android Auto® and Apple CarPlay® Wi-Fi are just some of the features designed to make this car superbly versatile. Not forgetting, of course, those 18-way-adjustable heated ergonomic seats that are also available with an optional neck warmer for colder days
THE SHAPE OF BEAUTY
There is a novel and modern take on the soft-top design that underlines the F169S’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
A LUXURIOUS LOUNGE
The F169S 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
