Ferrari Amalfi Spider revealed as 640PS Open-Top GT
Ferrari Amalfi Spider has been unveiled as the open-top version of Ferrari's new 2+2 grand tourer. Apart from its folding roof, the Spider is almost identical to the coupe version of the Amalfi and offers nearly the same performance.
- Powered by a 3.9-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine that produces 640 PS and 760 Nm
- 0-100 kmph in 3.3 seconds and a top speed of 320 kmph
- The roof can be opened in 13.5 seconds at speeds of up to 60 kmph
Powering the Amalfi Spider is a 3.9-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine that produces 640hp and 760Nm of torque. The engine is paired with an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox, which sends power to the rear wheels. Ferrari claims the convertible can sprint from 0-100 kmph in 3.3 seconds and reach a top speed of 320 kmph.
Even though the Spider weighs 1,556 kg, which is 86 kg more than the coupe, its performance remains very close. The only noticeable difference is the 0-200 kmph time, which stands at 9.4 seconds, about 0.4 seconds slower than the hard-top model.
The Amalfi Spider carries over several technologies from the coupe, including a brake-by-wire system designed to improve braking precision. It also features an active rear spoiler that can generate up to 110 kg of additional downforce at 250 kmph while increasing drag by less than four percent.
Inside, the Amalfi Spider features a 2+2 seating layout similar to the coupe. The cabin includes curved air vents, a 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen, and an 8.8-inch display for the passenger. Drivers also get a 15.6-inch digital instrument cluster and a three-spoke steering wheel packed with physical controls, along with an aluminium-finished centre tunnel.
The convertible also comes with a wide range of features such as wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, ADAS, connected-car functions, adaptive cruise control, powered seats, automatic climate control and a wireless phone charger. As with most Ferraris, buyers can personalise the interior with several customisation options.
One of the highlights of the car is its fabric convertible roof. The soft top can be ordered in four different colours and can open in just 13.5 seconds at speeds of up to 60 kmph. When folded, the roof takes up only 220 mm of space, leaving 172 litres of luggage capacity. With the roof closed, boot space increases to 255 litres. Ferrari has also added wind deflectors behind the rear seats to reduce turbulence inside the cabin. The five-layer roof material is designed to keep noise levels close to what you would expect in a Ferrari with a fixed roof.
Visually, the Spider looks almost identical to the coupe, though Ferrari offers an exclusive Rosso Tramonto paint option specifically for this version. Ferrari has not yet confirmed whether the Amalfi Spider will come to India. However, the Ferrari Amalfi coupe is expected to arrive in the country later this year.
