Sometimes, a car's biggest upgrade comes from taking something away. In the case of the Ferrari Amalfi Spider, that means losing the coupe’s fixed roof and replacing it with a carefully engineered soft top designed with specific shapes and materials.
The Ferrari Amalfi Spider debuts as a 2+ convertible that lets occupants enjoy its V8 with the roof down. It continues Ferrari’s long tradition of open-top models—cars that have long represented a milestone for enthusiasts and, more often than not, collectors.
Developed by the Ferrari Design Studio, the Amalfi Spider is designed to look just as compelling with the roof up as it does with it down. With the top up, it maintains the coupe's sleek silhouette. Lower the roof, and the proportions take on a more distinctive and expressive character.
Clean, sculpted surfaces shaped by light give the car a modern yet elegant feel, with the fully automatic soft top naturally taking center stage.
Along with an integrated rear window, the roof features a five-layer fabric construction with varying thicknesses arranged in a “sandwich” structure, designed to help isolate occupants from outside noise.
The soft top is available in four tailored fabric colors and two technical-fabric options, including the new "Tecnico Ottanio." The design blends seamlessly with the rest of the car, whether the roof is open or closed, and the same weave can also be repeated on the tonneau cover and nearby surfaces.
As expected, the Amalfi Spider has undergone extensive aerodynamic development to manage airflow and balance downforce. At the rear, it features an integrated active rear wing with three settings, capable of generating up to 243 pounds of downforce at 155 mph in High Downforce mode.
Airflow management is also key to passenger comfort—especially with the roof down. To address this, the new Ferrari includes a wind deflector.
This wind blocker is integrated into the backrest of the rear seats and helps reduce turbulence and noise. It can be deployed with the push of a button, while folding it away simply requires pushing it back into its housing.
Inside, sportiness and elegance come through in a series of minimal, contemporary design solutions. The center tunnel takes the form of a suspended aluminum bridge, while the door panels feature styling cues inspired by nautical design.
The instrument display sits within a monolithic cockpit structure that also incorporates the air vents, while two additional screens handle infotainment functions and the passenger display.
For those considering longer road trips, it’s worth noting that the folded roof measures 220 millimeters thick. When the top is lowered, luggage capacity drops from 9.0 to 6.1 cubic feet.
Power comes from a purely twin-turbocharged 3.9-liter V8 producing 631 horsepower. The engine belongs to Ferrari’s award-winning F154e family and, in the Amalfi Spider, delivers a specific output of 163 hp per liter. Curb weight is 3,430 pounds—about 176 pounds more than the coupe.
Updates to the turbocharging system, new lightweight camshafts (saving 2.9 lbs), and a redesigned engine block with precision machining help optimize both mass and thermal management.
The Spider also benefits from some of Ferrari’s latest technology. The eight-speed wet-clutch dual-clutch transmission is the same unit used in the SF90 Stradale, while the ABS Evo system comes from the 296 GTB and was later refined for models like the Purosangue and the 12Cilindri.
Also included is Side Slip Control (SSC) 6.1, which coordinates all the vehicle’s dynamics systems—from steering and torque management to vertical body-motion control—to maximize performance.
The Manettino offers five driving modes—Wet, Comfort, Sport, Race, and ESC-Off—allowing drivers to adjust the level of intervention from systems such as F1-Trac, suspension damping, and the electronic differential.
Ferrari also includes a comprehensive suite of driver-assistance systems. These include Adaptive Cruise Control, Automatic Emergency Braking, Blind Spot Detection, Lane Departure Warning, Lane Keeping Assist, automatic high beams, traffic-sign recognition and assistance, and driver fatigue or distraction monitoring. Optional features include Surround View and Rear Cross Traffic Alert.
While the Ferrari Amalfi coupe starts at around €240,000 in Europe, removing the fixed roof and adding the appeal of a fabric soft top brings the Amalfi Spider’s starting price to roughly €270,000.
Orders are already open, with the first deliveries expected in the early months of 2027.
