Ferrari has done what Ferrari so often does best: take an already gorgeous coupe and make it even more emotionally appealing by removing the roof. The new 2027 Ferrari Amalfi Spider arrives as the open-top companion to the Amalfi coupe, carrying over the same elegant proportions, twin-turbo V8 power, and grand touring character while adding the kind of top-down experience that tends to make a Ferrari feel even more special. In a market where high-end performance convertibles have to balance beauty, speed, and everyday usability, the Amalfi Spider looks ready to hit that sweet spot.
Visually, the Amalfi Spider appears to lose very little in the transition from coupe to convertible. That is not always the case with roofless variants, but Ferrari seems to have preserved the coupe’s long, clean, sculpted look with impressive success. The retractable soft top folds away in just 13.5 seconds and can be operated at speeds up to 37 mph, which adds a level of real-world convenience owners will appreciate. Ferrari also claims the roof’s compact design helps preserve a useful amount of luggage space, an important detail in a car meant to be as much a fast GT as a rolling statement piece.
Of course, the main attraction is still what happens when you press the throttle. The Amalfi Spider keeps the same 3.9-liter twin-turbocharged V8, sending 631 hp and 560 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels through an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission. That is a familiar recipe for Ferrari fans, but it remains a very effective one. Even with the added weight that comes with the convertible structure, Ferrari says the Spider can still hit 62 mph in 3.3 seconds and run all the way to a 199-mph top speed. Those are serious numbers, but more importantly, they suggest the Amalfi Spider is not just about style. It is still every bit a Ferrari in the way it delivers performance.
Inside, the formula stays largely consistent with the coupe, and that is good news. The cabin combines multiple digital displays with Ferrari’s welcome return to physical steering-wheel buttons and controls, something enthusiasts have been asking for. That change alone makes the driving experience feel more intuitive and less filtered through trendy interface design. The small rear seats remain more symbolic than practical, but that has always been part of the appeal in this class. What matters more is that the interior still feels purpose-built for the driver while giving the passenger enough tech and visual drama to feel part of the event.
What really stands out from our perspective is how well the Amalfi Spider fits Ferrari’s identity right now. This is not a stripped-out track toy trying to be something extreme. It is a stylish, front-engine, rear-drive V8 grand tourer that blends performance with sophistication in a way that feels timeless. The convertible roof only enhances that personality. With the top down, the Amalfi Spider should deliver the kind of sensory experience buyers in this segment are actually chasing, where the sound of the engine, the rush of air, and the scenery around you matter just as much as the stopwatch.
Pricing has not been officially confirmed for the U.S., but expectations place the Amalfi Spider somewhere near the $300,000 mark, above the coupe’s $266,810 starting point. That would position it right where you would expect in Ferrari’s lineup, and likely right where interested buyers will still line up for it. For those who want a Ferrari that leans into beauty, speed, and open-air drama without losing its everyday GT polish, the Amalfi Spider looks like it could be one of the most desirable new arrivals in the brand’s modern portfolio.
