# Ferrari Roma Spider

URL: https://performanceandprestige.co.uk/cars/ferrari-roma-spider

It is a 612bhp front-engined V8 with a fabric roof that folds in 13.5 seconds at up to 37mph. We arrange it through partners rather than owning one, so the car and your dates are confirmed by a person first.

## Why choose the Roma Spider over a mid-engined Ferrari?

Because it is comfortable. The engine sits at the front, the ride is softer than a 296, and there is a pair of rear seats for bags or short journeys. It still runs to 62mph in 3.4 seconds, but it does not demand anything of you on the way to dinner. For weddings and long summer drives it is the more sensible Ferrari.

## How does the roof work?

It is a fabric top, not a folding hard top, which keeps weight down and preserves the boot. It stows in 13.5 seconds and will operate at up to 37mph, so you can drop it while moving through traffic. With the roof up and the wind deflector raised the cabin is quiet enough for a phone call at motorway speed.

## What does a Roma Spider cost to hire?

A refundable deposit near £10,000 and a matching insurance excess are typical. Mileage is normally 12,000 miles a year with roughly £4 a mile after that. We put the exact figures in writing before you decide.

## Is it suitable for a wedding?

It is one of the better Ferraris for it. The doors open conventionally, the sills are low by supercar standards, and the fabric roof photographs well down. Bear in mind two things: it seats two adults properly, and the driver must be the named hirer, so there is no chauffeur arrangement on a self-drive booking.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can you supply a Ferrari Roma Spider for a wedding?

We can source one, yes. It is a self-drive hire, so the person named on the agreement does the driving. We confirm the specific car and colour before the date rather than promising a model type.

### What is the difference between the Roma and the Roma Spider?

The Spider swaps the fixed roof for a folding fabric one. Power, gearbox and layout are otherwise the same, and the Spider carries a small weight penalty that costs it around a tenth to 62mph.

### Is a Roma Spider comfortable on a long drive?

Yes, by Ferrari standards. It has a compliant ride, a proper boot and adaptive dampers with a bumpy-road setting, which is why it is one of the few Ferraris people take across France.

*Performance & Prestige hires vehicles from its own fleet and, where a vehicle is not one of ours, arranges it through a vetted partner. Cars marked "we can source" are subject to confirmation before anything is agreed. Rates include VAT. Nothing is booked or paid for through this website: a person confirms the car, the full cost and the delivery slot with you first.*

*Pre-launch note: the rates, driver criteria, deposits, excesses and mileage allowances quoted here are read from Performance & Prestige's own catalogue data, which is still being confirmed with the owner and the insurer. Read them as the shape of the figures rather than as a quotation. What binds is your written quote and your hire agreement.*
