Ferrari Amalfi Spider Touches Down in Namma Bengaluru: ₹5 Crore V8 Convertible Unveiled
The air at the Four Seasons Hotel in Bengaluru felt a bit extra electrified today as Ferrari, together with its official distributor Select Cars, brought out its latest masterpiece for an exclusive showcase: the all-new Ferrari Amalfi Spider.
GaadiKey was right on the floor with exclusive access to capture every angle of this Italian open-top beauty. If you’ve been tracking supercar launches in India, this one is easily among the prettiest drop-tops to land on our roads this year.
Here is everything you need to know about the Ferrari Amalfi Spider, stripped of PR fluff and focused on what actually makes this car special.
What Makes the Ferrari Amalfi Spider Special?
1. Pure V8 Power Under the Bonnet
At the heart of the Amalfi Spider lies an evolution of Ferrari’s award-winning 3,855 cc twin-turbo V8 engine.
- Power Output: 640 hp @ 7,500 rpm
- Peak Torque: 760 Nm @ 3,000 – 5,750 rpm
- 0 to 100 km/h: A blistering 3.3 seconds
- 0 to 200 km/h: Just 9.4 seconds
- Top Speed: Over 320 km/h
Power goes to the rear wheels via an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission (F1 DCT) optimized for lightning-fast gear changes and smoother low-speed urban driving.
2. A Soft Top That Opens on the Move
Ferrari chose a refined fabric soft top rather than a heavy retractable hardtop.
- Operation Time: Opens or closes in just 13.5 seconds.
- Speed Threshold: You can operate the roof at speeds up to 60 km/h.
- Acoustics: A 5-layer fabric structure provides thermal and acoustic insulation comparable to a hardtop.
- Practicality: Stows into a tight 220 mm layer, preserving a solid 172 liters of boot space with the roof down (255 liters with the roof up).
3. Stunning Colors & Design Touches
The Amalfi Spider retains the elegant, monolithic silhouette of the Amalfi coupe even with the roof down. Ferrari introduced a breathtaking launch shade called Rosso Tramonto—a rich red with warm orange undertones inspired by sunset light. The soft top itself is available in tailor-made fabric colors, including a dynamic Tecnico Ottanio technical weave option.
4. Usable 2+ Layout & Smart Interior
Unlike raw track-focused supercars, the Amalfi Spider is built for real-world driving.
- 2+ Seating: Practical rear seats for kids or extra cabin luggage.
- Wind Deflector: A push-button wind deflector built right into the rear seat backrest deflects cabin turbulence at speeds up to 170 km/h.
- Cockpit Tech: Features a 15.6-inch driver display, a 10.25-inch central touchscreen, and an optional 8.8-inch display for the passenger.
- Tactile Controls: Ferrari brought back physical steering wheel buttons and an iconic anodized start button.
Price and Bookings in India
- Estimated Price: Around ₹5 Crore (ex-showroom, before options and customization).
- Bookings: Officially open in India through Select Cars.
- Maintenance: Comes with Ferrari’s comprehensive 7-Year Genuine Maintenance Program, covering regular scheduled services.
