Ferrari Amalfi Spider makes its regional debut in Kuala Lumpur

KUALA LUMPUR: Ital Auto, the official distributor of Ferrari vehicles in Malaysia, has brought the Ferrari Amalfi Spider to local shores. Making its ASEAN debut in Kuala Lumpur, the Amalfi Spider is the convertible variant of the Amalfi coupe, which was introduced in the region in March this year. 

Here’s all you need to know about the latest drop-top Ferrari in town - 

Ferrari Amalfi Spider: Dimensions 

The convertible measures 4,660 mm in length, 1,974 mm in width and 1,305 mm in height, and spans a wheelbase of 2,670 mm. The roof is 220 mm thick, leaving 255 litres of cargo space with the roof up and 172 litres with the roof down.

Ferrari Amalfi Spider: Exterior

The Spider variant retains the same silhouette as the coupe, with the soft-top roof being the main distinctive feature. It opens in 13.5 seconds and can be operated at speeds up to 60 kmph. Its five-layer fabric offers better sound and heat insulation than a retractable hard-top.   

The sports car boasts a sleek and sculpted body with a low, wide stance and long bonnet. At the front lie slim headlights linked with a dark horizontal panel and a large air intake with aerodynamic elements integrated into the bumper. 

The sculpted rear profile incorporates slim LED tail lights and three-position active rear spoiler, and an aerodynamically designed rear diffuser mated to quad exhaust outlets. The Amalfi Spider rides on 20-inch forged wheels wrapped with 245/35 R20 front and 285/35 R20 rear tyres.

Ferrari Amalfi Spider: Engine and transmission

The Amalfi Spider is powered by a 3.9-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine that produces 640 PS of maximum power at 7,500 rpm and 760 Nm of peak torque from 3,000 to 5,750 rpm. It is paired with an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission, enabling the vehicle to hit the 100 kmph mark in 3.3 seconds and 200 kmph in 9.4 seconds. The top speed is rated at 320 kmph.

Notably, the Amalfi Spider offers a more immersive V8 soundtrack while maintaining the same suite of driving aids, including the brake-by-wire system, ABS Evo controller, and Side Slip Control 6.1 software.

Ferrari Amalfi Spider: Interior

Inside, things are largely the same as the coupe model. There is a dual-cockpit layout with a 15.6-inch digital instrument cluster, a central 10.25-inch touchscreen, and an optional 8.8-inch display for the front passenger. The 2+ seating configuration features small rear seats that can also provide additional storage.

Other key highlights include -  

• Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
• Signature aluminium engine-start button
• Manettino drive-mode selector
• Wireless smartphone charger
• Burmester premium audio system

Speaking of price, Ital Auto has yet to announce official local pricing of the Amalfi Spider for Malaysia. However, expectations hover around approx RM 3,000,000 before factoring in additional options.
