Ferrari Introduces Amalfi Spider as Roma Spider Successor

Early tests confirm a 631-hp twin‑turbo V8, new brake‑by‑wire hardware and a reworked cabin, with final pricing unresolved and tyre fitments affecting drive feel.

Overview

  • Reviews published Friday report Ferrari renamed the Roma Spider as the Amalfi Spider and fitted it with visual and packaging updates to distinguish the new model.
  • Ferrari’s 3.9‑litre flat‑plane V8 is uprated to 631 hp and 560 lb‑ft, paired with an eight‑speed dual‑clutch transmission and a claimed 0–60 mph near 3.2–3.3 seconds.
  • The car adopts a brake‑by‑wire system and the ABS Evo software derived from the 296 GTB, which reviewers say reduces pedal travel and improves braking stability.
  • Interior changes include the return of physical controls and a lower 10.3‑inch horizontal infotainment screen, while the five‑layer fabric soft‑top still opens in about 13.5 seconds.
  • Pricing remains partly unconfirmed with outlets estimating roughly $300,000 in the U.S. and a quoted UK starting price near £227,200, and reviewers note that new Goodyear tyre fitments changed initial on‑road grip and handling.
