Ferrari Amalfi Spider, the new 640 hp open-top gran turismo

The opening time of the soft top is 13.5 seconds and it can also be operated while driving up to 60 km/h, while the reduced overall dimensions of the folded roof with a thickness of only 220 mm allow the boot capacity to be maximised: 255 litres with the roof closed and 172 litres with the roof open.

 Mix between functionality and aesthetics 

combining performance and comfort under the open sky is not easy, and this is precisely what the Maranello engineers worked on to create the Ferrari Amalfi Spider. In fact, the project required analysis and optimisation aimed at preserving efficiency and downforce.

The car incorporates a number of functional devices that contribute to flow management and load/resistance balancing. At the front, a bypass above the headlamp connects the front to the engine compartment to reduce overpressure and contribute to thermal control; vertical load generation is supported by vortex generators and diffusers integrated into the front bottom, while in front of the front and rear wheels are dedicated resistance-reducing devices, the so-called 'scarpettes', designed to aerodynamically fair the exposed part of the wheels.

At the rear, the Ferrari Amalfi Spider adopts an active mobile wing integrated into the tail, with three configurations that are automatically adjusted according to speed, longitudinal and transverse acceleration.

 Double cockpit interior

the interior of the Ferrari Amalfi Spider translates the same concept of elegant and usable sportiness into a cockpit designed for open-top driving. The double cockpit architecture, as in the berlinetta version, creates a strong cocoon effect, enveloping the driver and passenger in two distinct but visually connected cells. The double cockpit extends from the front seats to the dashboard and door panels, connecting with the central tunnel.

The central display is the point of contact between driver and passenger, and the new shared interface reinforces the car's sporty and versatile dual dimension.

For the first time, the instrument panel and air vents are integrated in a monolithic cockpit, equally divided between driver and passenger.

The new steering wheel, equipped with physical buttons, represents a return to tactile controls with an arrangement designed to ensure maximum ergonomics and recognisability in all driving conditions.

Digitalised and connected interiors

there are three on-board displays that make life on board more pleasant and intuitive, starting with the 15.6-inch fully digital instrument cluster that shows all driving and vehicle dynamics information. In the centre of the dashboard, a 10.25-inch capacitive display allows the driver and passenger to access the main functions: multimedia, radio, telephone, screen mirroring, climate control, seat adjustments and car settings. Finally, the 8.8-inch passenger display offers a true co-pilot experience, displaying parameters such as G-forces or engine speed.

As on everyday cars, connectivity on the Ferrari Amalfi Spider is guaranteed by Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, while wireless charging for smartphones is integrated into the central tunnel. The car is also equipped with the MyFerrari Connect system, which allows the status of the vehicle to be monitored remotely via a dedicated App.

The 640 hp V8 is confirmed 

the Ferrari Amalfi Spider's engine represents the latest evolution of the 3,855 cm³ twin-turbocharged V8 from the F154 family, one of the most award-winning in recent motoring history. In this configuration it has been optimised to reach a maximum output of 640 hp and 760 Nm of torque.

The eight-speed dual clutch gearbox in an oil bath, which entered the range with the SF90 Stradale to unanimous acclaim, has seen management strategies optimised thanks to a more powerful control unit and greater integration with the engine software, improving fluidity and speed of gear changes.

The sound also received special attention: a new silencer layout was developed that complies with the most stringent noise emission regulations without compromising Ferrari's characteristic timbre.
