Ferrari has launched the Amalfi Spider in India at Rs. 4.6 crore ex-showroom, before options. It is the open-top version of the Ferrari Amalfi coupe and brings the same front-mid-mounted V8 performance in a more emotional convertible body style.
The Amalfi Spider is meant for buyers who want Ferrari speed, grand touring comfort and the drama of driving with the roof down. It is not the most hardcore Ferrari in the line-up, and that is the point. This is a fast, elegant, open-top GT for long drives as much as quick weekend runs.
Bookings for the Amalfi Spider are now open in India. The convertible carries a premium of around Rs. 52 lakh over the Amalfi coupe, which is priced at Rs. 4.08 crore ex-showroom before options.
Ferrari Amalfi Spider price in India
The Ferrari Amalfi Spider has been launched at Rs. 4.6 crore ex-showroom, before optional extras.
Ferrari buyers usually personalize cars heavily, so the final on-road cost can rise a lot depending on paint, wheels, carbon-fibre parts, interior trim, seat materials and other custom options.
The car will be sold through Ferrari’s official dealer network in India, including Mumbai, New Delhi and Bengaluru.
Engine and performance
The Amalfi Spider uses a 3.9-litre twin-turbo V8 petrol engine. It produces 640 hp and 760 Nm of torque.
Power goes to the rear wheels through an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox. This gearbox is built for quick shifts but also smooth cruising, which suits the car’s GT personality.
Ferrari claims the Amalfi Spider can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.3 seconds. Top speed is rated at 320 km/h.
The Spider is around 86 kg heavier than the coupe because of the roof mechanism and extra strengthening. Even then, the 0-100 km/h time remains the same as the coupe, which says a lot about the engine’s performance.
Soft-top roof
The biggest difference between the Amalfi coupe and the Amalfi Spider is the roof.
The Spider gets an electrically operated fabric soft-top roof. It can open or close in 13.5 seconds and can be operated at speeds of up to 60 km/h.
That is useful in real life. If the weather changes suddenly or the road opens up, the driver does not need to stop completely to use the roof.
Ferrari has used a five-layer fabric roof to improve weather protection and cabin insulation. There is also a wind deflector behind the rear seats to reduce wind blast when the roof is down.
Design and exterior
The Amalfi Spider keeps the clean and elegant design of the coupe. It gets a long bonnet, low stance, sleek LED headlights, sculpted bodywork and quad exhaust outlets at the rear.
It does not look loud in the way some supercars do. Instead, the Amalfi Spider has a smoother grand tourer look. That makes it more mature, but still very Ferrari.
The absence of a fixed roof changes the car’s personality. With the top down, it feels more relaxed and glamorous. With the roof up, it stays close to the coupe’s clean shape.
Interior and features
Inside, the Amalfi Spider gets a 2+2 seating layout. The rear seats are small, so they are better for children, short trips or extra luggage rather than full-size adult passengers.
The cabin has a modern triple-screen layout. There is a 15.6-inch digital driver display, a 10.25-inch central infotainment touchscreen and an 8.8-inch passenger display.
Other features include powered front seats, premium leather upholstery, automatic climate control, wireless phone charging, multifunction steering wheel with physical controls and Ferrari’s latest cabin interface.
The return of physical controls on the steering wheel is a welcome touch. Many drivers prefer real buttons for key functions, especially in a performance car.
Safety and driver assistance
The Amalfi Spider comes with Level 2 ADAS features, depending on specification. This can include systems that assist with lane support, braking and adaptive driving functions.
It also gets a 360-degree camera system, brake-by-wire technology and Ferrari’s advanced stability and traction systems.
Brake-by-wire means the braking system uses electronic control to improve response and modulation. In simple terms, it helps the car brake more precisely.
Boot space and practicality
The Amalfi Spider is still a grand tourer, so Ferrari has tried to keep it usable. Boot space is around 255 litres with the roof closed and around 172 litres with the roof open.
That is not SUV-level space, of course, but it is enough for a weekend bag or light luggage.
The rear seats can also add some practical storage space when not used for passengers.
Competitors in India
The Ferrari Amalfi Spider competes with other luxury convertibles and high-performance grand tourers.
Its closest rivals include the Aston Martin DB12 Volante, Bentley Continental GT Convertible and Porsche 911 Turbo S Cabriolet. Some buyers may also compare it with the Mercedes-AMG SL 63 or Maserati GranCabrio, depending on taste.
The Aston Martin DB12 Volante offers British grand touring style with a powerful V8. The Bentley Continental GT Convertible is more comfort-focused and luxurious. The Porsche 911 Turbo S Cabriolet is sharper and more sports-car-like.
The Ferrari sits in its own emotional space. It offers Italian design, a front-mounted V8, open-top drama and the Ferrari badge, which is still a major part of the appeal.
Who should buy the Ferrari Amalfi Spider
The Amalfi Spider is for someone who wants performance without giving up elegance.
It is not the Ferrari for track-day regulars who want the most aggressive setup. It is better suited to buyers who enjoy fast highway drives, weekend escapes and the feeling of open-top motoring.
If the coupe is the more focused GT, the Spider is the more romantic one. It adds sound, wind and theatre to the same V8 package.
Conclusion – Key takeaways
The Ferrari Amalfi Spider has arrived in India at Rs. 4.6 crore ex-showroom. It gets a 3.9-litre twin-turbo V8 engine with 640 hp and 760 Nm, an 8-speed dual-clutch gearbox, 0-100 km/h time of 3.3 seconds and a top speed of 320 km/h.
Its electric soft-top roof opens in 13.5 seconds at speeds up to 60 km/h. The cabin gets a triple-screen setup, premium materials, 2+2 seating and modern driver assistance features.
For buyers who want a Ferrari grand tourer with open-top charm, the Amalfi Spider is now one of the most desirable options in India’s ultra-luxury convertible space.
