MARANELLO: The new Ferrari Amalfi Spider is a "two-plus" seater convertible, featuring a front-mid-mounted twin-turbo V8 engine, that combines outstanding performance and the unique pleasure of open-top motoring.
The soft top opens in 13.5 seconds and can be operated on the move at speeds of up to 60kph.
When folded, its compact packaging – just 220mm thick – maximises luggage capacity, offering 255 litres with the roof closed and 172 litres with the roof open, in a layout suited to both everyday use and weekend getaways.
Acoustic and thermal insulation is provided by a five-layer fabric delivering soundproofing and heat insulation comparable to that of a Ferrari retractable hard top (RHT).
The cabin features a dual-cockpit layout and an evolved driver–car interface.
Key elements include the steering wheel with physical buttons, the return of the iconic start button and the integrated central display.
The door panels introduce a sail motif – sculptural elements that integrate the handles and armrests.
Ferrari says the rear seats are suitable for travelling with children.
An integrated wind deflector built into the rear bench backrest, and operated at the touch of a button, improves comfort by reducing turbulence during open-top driving.
As for the car’s design, its front end is defined by a large air intake and a long, sculpted bonnet that houses the 640hp turbocharged V8.
At the rear, the integrated active spoiler contributes to high-speed stability, while forged wheels and carbon fibre details complete a sporty aesthetic.
With the Amalfi Spider, Ferrari introduces the new Rosso Tramonto colour, an exclusive shade that enriches the chromatic journey begun with Verde Costiera, inspired by the hues of the Amalfi Coast.
This new shade is distinguished by subtle orange undertones that evoke the warm light of the setting sun, igniting the coast’s most iconic vistas.
Rosso Tramonto enhances the sculpted surfaces of the Amalfi Spider, enriching Ferrari’s red palette.
The engine of the Amalfi Spider is the latest evolution of the 3,855cc V8 twin-turbo from the F154 family – the model that has won the most international awards in recent automotive history.
In this configuration, the engine delivers 640hp at 7,500rpm and a redline raised to 7,600rpm, while maximum torque is 760Nm at 3,000 to 5,750rpm.
For the first time in a Ferrari engine, a low-viscosity oil has been introduced, reducing cold resistance by 30% compared to the previous version, improving warm-up efficiency.
The eight-speed dual-clutch oil-bath transmission, first introduced on the SF90 Stradale to widespread acclaim, has been further optimised with a more powerful control unit.
Sound design also received special attention: a new silencer layout was developed to meet the strictest noise emission regulations, without compromising Ferrari’s signature tone.
The flat-plane crankshaft and equal-length exhaust headers contribute to a distinctive firing sequence.
The exhaust system features a ceramic matrix catalyst with a trimetallic coating (rhodium, platinum, palladium), with reduced activation times thanks to lower thermal inertia.
Meanwhile, the ABS Evo system, first introduced on the 296 GTB and further developed for the Ferrari Purosangue and the Ferrari 12Cilindri, has been adapted to ensure optimal performance on all surfaces and in all Manettino modes.
A further advancement is the grip estimation system based on EPS (Electric Power Steering), an evolution of the version introduced on the 296 GTB.
In this new iteration, grip estimation is 10% faster and more accurate, even on surfaces with very low traction.
Among the functions included as standard are Adaptive Cruise Control, Automatic Emergency Braking, Blind Spot Detection, Lane Departure Warning, Lane Keeping Assist, automatic high beam, traffic sign recognition and assistance and driver drowsiness and distraction detection.
The tyre dimensions are 245/35 R20 at the front and 285/35 R20 at the rear, a configuration that balances agility and traction.
The Amalfi Spider comes equipped as standard with tyres co-developed with three partners: Pirelli P Zero, Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport and Bridgestone Potenza Sport.
