Ferrari has announced that it's discontinuing its entry-level Portofino M hardtop convertible. The news was confirmed by a Ferrari spokesperson to Road & Track, stating that the company's newly introduced Roma Spider will take over as the entry-level drop-top in the Italian marque's lineup.
The Ferrari Roma Spider, which was introduced a few days ago, boasts a twin-turbo 3.9-liter V8 that makes 612 horsepower and 561 pound-feet of torque. Unlike the Portofino M, the Roma Spider is equipped with a traditional fabric roof, which is significantly lighter than the outgoing model's folding hardtop. Just like the Portofino M, the Roma has a 2+2 seating configuration, as well.
