Ferrari has taken the wraps off the new Amalfi Spider, an open-top 2+ grand tourer from Maranello that blends beauty, brawn and a bit of everyday usability—because apparently even supercar owners may want to carry luggage and not just ego. Unveiled on March 12, 2026, the Amalfi Spider arrives with a front-mid-mounted 3.9-litre twin-turbo V8, 640 hp, a 13.5-second soft-top mechanism, and a mission to make open-air driving feel as elegant as it is exhilarating.
Ferrari says the Amalfi Spider is built to deliver the “performance-driven lifestyle” in true Prancing Horse fashion, but with extra wind in your hair and fewer excuses to stay indoors. At its heart is the latest evolution of Ferrari’s award-winning F154 V8, producing 640 hp at 7,500 rpm, paired with an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission and tuned for sharper turbo response, stronger mid-range pull and a redline that stretches to 7,600 rpm.
One of the headline features is the fabric soft top, which opens or closes in 13.5 seconds at speeds of up to 60 km/h. Ferrari says the five-layer roof offers thermal and acoustic insulation comparable to a retractable hard-top, while also helping the Amalfi Spider retain practical credentials with 255 litres of luggage space when closed and 172 litres when open. In Ferrari language, that is basically the automotive equivalent of saying, “Yes, you may pack for the weekend.”
Visually, the Amalfi Spider stays faithful to the elegant proportions of the Amalfi coupé, which itself replaced the Roma in Ferrari’s line-up in 2025. Ferrari’s design team, led by Flavio Manzoni, has given the Spider a flowing, sculptural silhouette that looks clean whether the roof is up or down. The launch shade, Rosso Tramonto, draws inspiration from the colours of the Amalfi Coast at dusk—because with Ferrari, even the paint sounds like it has a better holiday calendar than most people.
Inside, the Amalfi Spider gets Ferrari’s latest dual-cockpit cabin design with a stronger focus on usability. The steering wheel brings back physical buttons and the iconic start button, a move many enthusiasts will welcome after years of touch-sensitive experiments that occasionally felt like negotiating with a smartphone. The dashboard features a 15.6-inch digital instrument cluster, a 10.25-inch central touchscreen, and an 8.8-inch passenger display, while Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and wireless charging keep the luxury GT credentials intact.
Ferrari has also worked hard on the aerodynamics and open-air comfort. The Amalfi Spider gets a three-position active rear wing that can generate up to 110 kg of extra downforce at 250 km/h in its high-downforce setting, while an integrated wind deflector behind the front seats can be activated at the touch of a button to reduce turbulence in the cabin. That means the driver can enjoy the V8 soundtrack with a little less hair drama.
On the dynamics front, the car features brake-by-wire, Ferrari’s latest ABS Evo, Side Slip Control 6.1, and an expanded range of Manettino settings including Wet, Comfort, Sport, Race and ESC-Off. Ferrari says the Spider has been calibrated to feel even more dynamic than the Roma Spider, while also offering a broader mix of comfort, precision and confidence across different road conditions. A full ADAS package is also part of the story, including Adaptive Cruise Control, Automatic Emergency Braking, Blind Spot Detection, Lane Keeping Assist and more.
The Amalfi Spider effectively becomes the open-top companion to the Ferrari Amalfi coupé, which was introduced in July 2025 as the successor to the Roma. If the coupé loosened its tie and got more modern, the Spider simply removed the roof and went straight to the coast.
For Ferrari, the Amalfi Spider is not just another convertible. It is a statement that traditional V8 grand touring still has a glamorous future, even as the brand moves deeper into electrification. And for buyers, it is a reminder that practicality, performance and style can coexist—especially when your definition of “practical” includes a 640 hp Ferrari with a soft top and an Amalfi-inspired sunset shade.
