Ferrari has unveiled the Ferrari Amalfi Spider, a new front-mid-engine V8 convertible designed to combine performance with open-air driving comfort. A worthy replacement for the Roma Spider.
Positioned as a 4-seater spider, the model blends Ferrari’s character with utility.
The Amalfi Spider is powered by a 3.9-litre twin-turbo V8 from Ferrari’s F154 engine family.
Ferrari models using F154 engines:
Performance figures of the Amalfi Spider include:
The engine pairs with an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission and uses independent turbo control to improve throttle response.
The Amalfi Spider maintains the flowing design of the Amalfi coupe while incorporating a fabric roof. Ferrari has also introduced a new exterior shade called Rosso Tramonto, inspired by the sunset colours of the Amalfi Coast.
The car sits on 20-inch wheels and comes with tyres co-developed with Pirelli, Bridgestone, and Goodyear. Too much effort for an entry-level Ferrari.
Inside, the Amalfi Spider features a dual-cockpit design with three digital displays:
Ferrari has also brought back physical buttons on the steering wheel, along with the iconic aluminium start button.
Connectivity features include Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, wireless smartphone charging, and the MyFerrari Connect system.
Drivers can open the fabric soft top in 13.5 seconds, even while driving at up to 60 km/h. Both figures match with its predecessor, Roma Spider.
Practicality features include:
A wind deflector integrated into the rear backseat helps reduce discomfort caused by air inside the cabin during open-top driving.
The Ferrari Amalfi Spider has been unveiled for global markets, and its arrival in India has not yet been confirmed. If introduced, it would likely be brought in as a CBU (Completely Built Unit) by Ferrari.
The Amalfi Spider would sit in the brand’s front-engine convertible lineup and could rival models such as the Aston Martin DB12 Volante and the Bentley Continental GTC in the country.
