Ferrari has just unveiled a new convertible variant of its Roma; the Roma Spider.
The four-seater Ferrari Roma Spider replaces the solid metal roof from the coupe with a folding fabric soft top.
Ferrari says the fabric roof can raise and close in just 13.5 seconds while traveling 60 km/h (38 mph).
Buyers will also be able to choose their very own tailored fabric and stitching for the roof.

The new convertible is packed with all the creature comforts you’d expect from a high-end family SUV too.
The driver and front passenger both have electrically adjustable 18-way seats that can be heated.
A neck warmer is available as an optional extra too.
Between the two seats is a tall center console that creates separate cockpits for the driver and front passenger.
There’s an 8.4-inch central display and a digital instrument cluster for the driver.
And designers added little ridges on all the touch-sensitive controls to help guide your fingers while driving.
You can also opt for an extra screen in front of the passenger.
Ferrari says it’s reduced wind buffeting with an electronically operated wind deflector across the rear seats.
This can be deployed at up to 168 km/h (105 mph).
Ferrari also added a small spoiler on the edge of the windscreen rail to help lift the airflow.
The supercar maker says together, they reduce wind turbulence by around 30 percent compared to other convertibles in its line-up.
Power
Just like the coupe, the Ferrari Roma Spider has a twin-turbo 3.9-liter V8 that churns out 612 horsepower.
Ferrari claims it can reach 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.4 seconds and go on to reach a top speed of 320 km/h (199 mph).
Price
Ferrari hasn’t revealed a price for the Roma Spider yet but you can expect it to be more than the coupe which starts at $222,500.
