Named after the gorgeous bit of coastline nestled in southwest Italy, and now built to enjoy every sun-kissed, cliched metre of it: welcome to the delectable new Ferrari Amalfi<\/a> Spider.<\/p>\n

Cool name, cool (literally) car. You\u2019ll need only the basics: a 3.9-litre twin-turbo V8 nestled in the front and pushed as far back as possible, an eight-speed twin-clutch gearbox and then you + your partner\/shopping\/expensive cake in the middle, and drive at the back. It\u2019s an Amalfi \u2013 which is a heavily revised Roma<\/a> \u2013 without a roof.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Need more? There\u2019s plenty more. Like a hearty 631bhp on board courtesy of that V8. And crucially, there\u2019s no roof. Well, technically there is, but if you\u2019re naming your car after a coast famous for its sun, you\u2019ll rarely have it closed. Just superglue it open and get a nice hat. A Ferrari-branded one if possible.<\/p>\n

It takes just 13.5 seconds to open (and close), at speeds of up to 37mph, and Ferrari said that when fully closed, this five-layer fabric roof offers soundproofing and insulation \u201ccomparable to that of a Ferrari retractable hard top\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

There\u2019s no denying it looks quite lovely – especially with those rear buttresses – if not as outright gorgeous as the outgoing Roma. Still, the Amalfi Spider was designed to make sure the Coupe\u2019s proportions were kept as intact as possible, and that practicality was preserved.<\/p>\n

So the roof’s just 220mm thick, which means 255 litres of luggage space when closed, and 172 litres with it stowed. All the better to enjoy that V8 soundtrack.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Otherwise it\u2019s as per the hard top Amalfi: same brake-by-wire, active aero, a cockpit that \u2013 yay! \u2013 includes real physical buttons, and version 6.1 of Ferrari\u2019s Side Slip Control sorcery. The same performance times, too: 0-62mph in 3.3s, though top speed drops to \u2018just\u2019 198mph. Naturally it\u2019s heavier \u2013 1,556kg \u2013 which is 86kg more than the Coupe.<\/p>\n

Would you welcome this into your garage, or the more powerful Aston Martin Vantage Roadster<\/a>?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
