Ferrari Australasia has revealed pricing for the new Amalfi Spider this week, ahead of Australian deliveries commencing during the second half of 2027.
The 2027 Ferrari Amalfi Spider is available to order from $569,400 before on-road costs and options, some $66,000 dearer than its hard-topped sibling (from $503,261). For reference, the old Roma Spider started from $520,300 before on-roads.
Apart from its folding fabric roof – which features a five-layer construction and is crafted from a customisable fabric available in six colours and two weaves – the drop-top Amalfi utilises the same 3.8-litre twin-turbo flat-plane V8 outputting 471kW of power and 760Nm of torque.
Up from 456kW in its Roma Spider predecessor, the Amalfi's 'F154' 90-degree, 3855cc motor gets new lightweight camshafts (which save 1.3kg) and even the engine block has been redesigned to save another 1kg.

Drive is sent exclusively to the rear wheels via an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Ferrari quotes the same 3.3-second 0-100km/h dash as the Amalfi coupe despite its 86kg dry weight penalty (1556kg).
The power-retracting roof can deploy in 13.5 seconds at speeds of up to 60km/h. When down, the roof is compressed to be just 220mm thick so it only reduces boot space from 255L to 172L.
As noted earlier, there are six roof colours in total to choose from, four for the more traditional “tailor-made” fabric, and two for the “technical” material, which has an interesting weave that shimmers in the light.
The technical fabric can also be applied to the tonneau and nearby surfaces so the material remains visible when the roof is down. Contrast stitching is also available for the roof.


With its five-layer design, Ferrari claims the Amalfi Spider’s roof has sound and heat insulation properties that are “comparable” to a retractable hardtop.
While the paint palette is largely carried over from the coupe, there's a new Rosso Tramonto colour that’s exclusive to the Spider.
The hidden rear wing will automatically set itself into one of three positions (low drag, medium downforce, and high downforce) depending on the car’s speed.
There’s also a driver-activated electric wind deflector integrated in the back of the front seats that creates a larger bubble of less turbulent air inside the cabin.
