Ferrari carefully and intricately evolved the Roma into the Amalfi last year, and alongside it is the graceful removal of its top to form the Amalfi Spider. Today, the 2027 Ferrari Amalfi Spider is making its ASEAN debut in Malaysia, before it heads into the Philippine market as one of its next markets.
Great design is one that barely ages, and many can agree that the Ferrari Roma, which was first revealed in 2019, is a perfect example of that. The Amalfia aims to continue a long lineage of front-engined, rear-wheel drive (FWD) grand tourers, but in a package that aims to redefine “contemporary sportiness”. Ferrari claims that every body panel here is new, though that’s not something an automaker would need to state if their successor looks completely different, right?
Anyway, this begins with the new front end, which, like the 12Cilindri, features LED headlights that are visually connected by a black trim piece. This also becomes a neat place to hide the various vehicle sensors. As proof that most of the car’s body panels are new, the side profile now features a subtle character line for a more chiseled look, whereas the previous Roma solely relied on curves to create visual character. Ferrari is also proud to highlight that the 20-inch wheels are milled from a solid piece of aluminum, helping them achieve a unique silver finish.
Moving towards the rear of the Amalfi, the rear license plate has been relocated closer to the rear diffuser, while the active rear spoiler is now located at the tip of the Amalfi’s rear end. One of its neat highlights is that the active rear spoiler has been relocated to the tip of the rear fascia for a cleaner look. You also get new LED taillights, a reshaped rear bumper, and a new texture for the decklid of the folding roof.
Speaking of which, the roof now comes with four color choices, and is made out of technical fabric with a distinctive weave pattern. This five-layer material provides soundproofing and insulation that’s comparable to a metal hardtop, like the one featured in the previous Portofino and California. The roof can be folded or deployed at speeds of up to 60 kph, and the entire folding or unfolding action takes 13.5 seconds.
As for the interior, the 2026 Ferrari Amalfi Spider’s upgrades are even more pronounced. Gone is the previous Roma’s rising center console in favor of a traditional horizontal dash layout. The center console is milled from a single block of anodized aluminum, while a new landscape 10.25-inch infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto complements the passenger’s side 8.8-inch display. The driver also gets a 15.6-inch digital gauge cluster, but the main highlight here is Ferrari’s decision to bring back physical controls–including the engine start button.
While this is essentially a mid-cycle facelift of the Amalfi, Ferrari has spent a great deal on improving its mechanicals. For starters, the 3.9-liter twin-turbo V8 has been boosted by 20 horses to 631 horsepower, though its 760 Nm of torque remains unchanged. This results in its 0-100 kph time dropping by a tenth to 3.3 seconds, while its 320 kph top speed remains unchanged. These figures match the coupe, though the 0-200 kph sprint of 9.4 seconds is 0.4 seconds slower than the coupe, but that’s a compromise that we think is worth it for you to enjoy its open-top driving pleasure.
Ferrari also introduces a new electric power steering system, which comes with an upgraded grip estimation function. The steering is supposedly 10 percent faster and more accurate, regardless of the road surface. Ferrari also introduces an improved brake-by-wire system, which significantly improves braking power, enhances modulation, and reduces pedal travel, while the new ABS Evo system is basically your usual anti-lock braking system (ABS), but tweaked by Ferrari to ensure optimal braking performance on all Manettino modes and driving conditions.
The 2027 Ferrari Amalfi Spider is now on sale in the Malaysian market, but it is also confirmed to arrive in the Philippines. If you’re asking how much an Amalfi Spider costs, you probably can’t afford it, but if you really want to know, it starts at P36,750,000. Customers may visit the Ferrari Velocita Motors showroom in Greenhills to begin their bespoke journey in configuring and ordering their dream Amalfi Spider.
