Ferrari unveiled the Roma back in 2019. It is based on the Portofino and is the most affordable Ferrari model at the moment. The only problem is that the Roma is only offered as a coupe, although everybody expected a spider version to arrive shortly after. However, it seems that Ferrari didn't want to affect Portofino sales with the addition of a new Spider model to its lineup. But now, automotive enthusiasts and YouTuber Varryx spied what seems to be the future Roma Spider - or the Roma GTS.

Will there be a Ferrari Roma GTS?

A prototype of the next Roma GTS was caught testing both during the night and parked in broad daylight at the Ferrari facility in Maranello. The prototype parked is completely uncamouflaged, except for the front bumper which gives us a pretty good idea of what to expect from the GTS. First, unlike the Portofino M which is offered with a retractable hardtop, the Roma GTS will feature a retractable fabric roof. The rear seems to have been redesigned, and most likely a few updates will also be offered for the front end - hence the camouflage.

As for the car caught testing during the night, it is clear that is also a Roma - based on its overall silhouette, but the roofline has a different shape, which hints this is also a prototype for the future Roma Spider.

What will power the next Ferrari Roma GTS?

You shouldn't expect any updates under Roma GTS' hood. Just like with all the other models, the Spider version will be offered with the same powertrain as the coupe. This means it will be powered by a 3.9-liter V-8 engine that will deliver 612 horsepower and 561 pound-feet of torque. The GTS version should be a little bit heavier than the coupe due to the roof mechanism, which means the sprint from 0 to 60 mph will be made in around 3.6 seconds, while top speed should go down to 195 mph.

When should you expect the next Ferrari Roma GTS?

Ferrari is believed to offer a facelift version for the Roma in the next few months, which means the GTS version will arrive sometime at the end of 2023. With the coupe version currently starting from $222,620 before options we expect the Spider version to be priced at around $250,000. We are sure that there will be more details about the GTS arriving in the next few months, so stay tuned!
