Ferrari Amalfi Spider Unveiled; With 640 hp Twin-Turbo V8 Under the Hood

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.

Performance and Powertrain

The Amalfi Spider is powered by a 3.9-litre twin-turbo V8 from Ferrari’s F154 engine family.

Ferrari models using F154 engines:

• Ferrari 488 GTB / Spider / Pista
• Ferrari F8 Tributo / Spider
• Ferrari SF90 Stradale / Spider

Performance figures of the Amalfi Spider include:

• Power: 640 hp
• Torque: 760 Nm
• 0-100 km/h: 3.3 seconds
• 0-200 km/h: 9.4 seconds
• Top speed: 320 km/h

The engine pairs with an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission and uses independent turbo control to improve throttle response.

Design and Customisation

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.

Interior and Technology

Inside, the Amalfi Spider features a dual-cockpit design with three digital displays:

• 15.6-inch digital instrument cluster
• 10.25-inch central infotainment display
• 8.8-inch passenger display

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.

Roof and Practicality

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:

• Boot space: 255 litres (roof closed)
• Boot space: 172 litres (roof open)

A wind deflector integrated into the rear backseat helps reduce discomfort caused by air inside the cabin during open-top driving.

For India

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.
