Overview
Grand-touring purists looking for a drop-top Ferrari will find the 2026 Ferrari Roma Spider convertible a very appealing option. This rear-wheel-drive, 2+2 convertible slots into the brand’s entry tier, and a 612-hp twin-turbocharged V8 powers the Roma Spider, providing both road and track versatility. The dual-cockpit interior has more infotainment technology than most Ferraris, making it the most livable car in the lineup for daily use. It appeals to buyers who want the Ferrari experience without the punishing focus of a track-first alternative.
What’s New for 2026?
The 2026 Roma has no mechanical or equipment changes, carrying over from last year’s specifications. This is the model’s final year in production as the Ferrari’s Amalfi will replace it in the lineup for 2027, marking the end of the Roma’s run.
Exterior
Ferrari’s cab-rearward proportions define the Roma Spider’s classic silhouette. A long hood is adorned with LED headlights that span the nose with a horizontal light strip bisecting them. The rear is dominated by quad tailpipes and an active decklid spoiler that deploys through three positions, generating up to 209 pounds of downforce at 155 mph. The multi-layer soft top is offered in five colors, operates electrically in 13.5 seconds, and can be raised or lowered at speeds up to 37 mph. Six wheel designs are offered, with staggered 20-inch forged rims standard across both axles.

Interior
Each front occupant sits within a sweeping pod design giving it individual spaces. A 16-inch digital gauge cluster faces the driver, and haptic controls are integrated into the flat-bottom steering wheel. A vertically mounted 8.4-inch touchscreen manages infotainment; wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, and an 8.8-inch passenger-side screen is optional for independent navigation and climate control. Full-grain Frau leather and Alcantara cover the cabin surfaces, with 18-way adjustable front seats as standard. The rear 2+2 bench only just accommodates adults, and only for short trips.

Verdict
The Roma closes its production run without changes for 2026, which makes this the last opportunity to buy the model before the Amalfi takes its place next year. As a carryover spec, the latest Roma offers no technology or equipment improvements, but it also means that it’s a proven design and chassis for the time it was in production. Lighter steering and a softer suspension tune compared to Ferrari’s track-focused models are design choices reflecting the Roma’s grand touring intent. Against the Aston Martin DB12 Volante and McLaren GT Spider, the Roma’s 612-hp V8 delivers versatility of use, as a more configurable driving experience.
