Nearly a year after Ferrari pulled the wraps off the Amalfi as a successor to the Roma, the Prancing Horse has now removed the roof entirely. The Ferrari Amalfi Spider, bowing for the 2027 model year, carries over the coupe's sleek lines and potent mechanical package while adding a soft-top convertible roof to the mix.

From the beltline down, the Amalfi Spider is essentially indistinguishable from the coupe, which is hardly a complaint. The bodywork flows with muscle and grace, and the new retractable roof complements that aesthetic beautifully. The top opens or closes in 13.5 seconds and can be operated at speeds up to 37 mph. Ferrari notes that in its folded state the roof is a mere 8.7 inches thick, which allows 6.1 cubic feet of trunk space to be preserved with the roof down. Raise it, and cargo capacity increases to 9.0 cubic feet.

Ferrari claims a five-layer fabric construction gives the soft top noise and heat insulation on par with its retractable-hardtop designs. Six roof colors are available, with optional contrast stitching for added personalization. Two fabric textures round out the choices: a "tailor made" option in four colors and a "technical" finish in two colors, the latter featuring a weave pattern that Ferrari says produces a "shimmering effect." A new paint shade called Rosso Tramonto—the sun-dried-tomato-inspired hue shown in these images—also debuts on the Spider.

Mechanically, the Amalfi Spider draws on the same twin-turbocharged 3.9-liter V-8 found in the coupe, delivering 631 horsepower and 560 pound-feet of torque through an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic to the rear wheels. Magnetorheological adaptive dampers and Ferrari's latest brake-by-wire system are also part of the package. Ferrari quotes a dry curb weight of 3430 pounds for the Spider, almost 200 pounds heavier than the coupe's listed figure. Performance remains identical at the top end: a 3.3-second 0-to-62-mph sprint and a 199-mph maximum speed.

The cabin mirrors the coupe's layout, anchored by a 10.3-inch center touchscreen, a 15.6-inch digital instrument cluster, and a narrower 8.8-inch display positioned in front of the passenger. Physical buttons and rotary controls have returned to the steering wheel following Ferrari's brief experiment with haptic inputs. The compact rear seats are retained—though, as in the coupe, they're better suited to luggage than adult passengers. The one cabin-specific addition is a wind deflector built into the rear bench's backrest that rises at the touch of a button at speeds up to 106 mph to suppress turbulence when the roof is stowed.

No word yet on U.S. pricing or a specific on-sale date, though we expect the Spider to reach American showrooms before the year is out. The coupe carries a starting price of $266,810; the Spider will likely land in the vicinity of $300,000.
