Maranello, 12 March 2026 – Ferrari has unveiled the Ferrari Amalfi Spider, a 2+ spider with a front-mid-mounted twin-turbo V8 engine that perfectly balances sportiness, elegance, and versatility. Designed for drivers seeking a dynamic open-top experience without compromising comfort or style, the Amalfi Spider embodies the ultimate Ferrari performance lifestyle.

At the heart of the Ferrari Amalfi Spider is its award-winning 640 hp twin-turbo V8, offering immediate response and exceptional performance across all driving conditions. The brake-by-wire system provides precise vehicle control, while the advanced ABS Evo ensures stability and braking efficiency on every surface. Active aerodynamics, featuring a three-position rear wing and integrated wind deflector, enhance the open-air driving experience with the touch of a button.

The soft top, available in tailor-made or technical fabric, opens in just 13.5 seconds even at speeds of up to 60 km/h. Its compact 220 mm fold allows for generous luggage capacity, offering 255 litres with the roof closed and 172 litres when open. With five-layer acoustic and thermal insulation, the soft top ensures comfort and quietness on every journey, rivaling retractable hard tops in both performance and refinement.

Inside, the cabin features a dual-cockpit layout and an evolved driver–car interface with physical steering wheel controls, the iconic start button, and a central integrated display designed for intuitive use even in high-performance driving. The 2+ configuration adds practical versatility with rear seats suitable for children or extra luggage. An integrated wind deflector, operated effortlessly, reduces turbulence for a serene open-top experience.

The Ferrari Amalfi Spider maintains the elegant, flowing proportions of the Ferrari Amalfi, preserving its distinctive silhouette even with the roof down. The soft top is offered in six colors, including the new Tecnico Ottanio, with optional contrast stitching highlighting both sporting character and refined elegance. Sculpted surfaces, a long bonnet housing the V8, forged wheels, carbon fiber details, and an active rear spoiler complete the dynamic yet sophisticated design.
