When Ferrari unveiled the Amalfi in July 2025, we stated that we expect a convertible version of the Roma’s replacement will follow in due course. Well, now, the Prancing Horse brand has officially revealed the Amalfi Spider.

Just like its coupé sibling, the Amalfi Spider is powered by the “latest evolution” of Ferrari’s F154 engine. As a reminder, the front-mid-mounted 3.9-litre twin-turbocharged V8 produces 470 kW and 760 N.m of torque – the former and latter available from 7 500 and 3 000 r/min, respectively.

Despite weighing 86 kg more than the coupé (1 556 vs 1 470 kg), the drop-top Amalfi completes the 0-100 km/h sprint in the same (claimed) time – 3.3 seconds. The coupé is four-tenths of a second quicker to the 200 km/h marker, however – 9.0 vs 9.4 seconds. The Amalfi Spider tops out at 320 km/h.

The Spider also benefits from a brake-by-wire system for improved stopping power. Thanks to this setup, along with 390 mm front/360 mm rear brake discs, the open-top Amalfi is brought to a halt from 100 km/h over just 30.8 metres and from 200-0 km/h over 119.5 metres. The Amalfi Spider is equipped with a set of 20-inch alloy wheels, wrapped in 245/35- and 285/35-size tyres, front and rear.

The Amalfi Spider features Z-fold soft-top mechanism. Thanks to this system, the roof is capable of opening in just 13.5 seconds at speeds of up to 60 km/h. The electrically operated roof is made from a five-layer, “sandwich-assembled” acoustic fabric, designed to effectively attenuate external noise. When the roof is stowed away, the boot offers a claimed 172 litres of packing capacity, which expands to 255 litres when the roof is closed.
