Ferrari's ₹4.6 crore convertible arrives in India

Four months after its global debut, the Amalfi Spider—a 640 bhp mid-engined roadster—launches in India at ₹4.6 crore on-road. This ultra-exclusive convertible targets India's ultra-high-net-worth buyers who crave open-air thrills over practicality.

640 bhp V8 hits 100 km/h in 3.3 seconds

A 3.9-litre twin-turbocharged V8 powers the Amalfi Spider, delivering 640 bhp and 760 Nm of torque. Zero to 100 km/h takes just 3.3 seconds; top speed exceeds 320 km/h. The 8-speed dual-clutch gearbox handles millisecond shifts.

Mid-engine layout, active aero, adaptive suspension

The mid-engine design ensures near-perfect weight distribution for razor-sharp handling. Adaptive dampers and active aerodynamics—rear wing adjusts automatically by speed and mode—optimize downforce and efficiency. Sharp steering, composed cornering, and visceral V8 feedback define the drive.

₹1 crore pricier than Porsche 911 Cabriolet

At ₹4.6 crore, the Amalfi Spider costs roughly ₹1 crore more than a Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet. It competes in a rarefied ultra-luxury space, not mainstream sports cars. Annual demand in India: single digits, concentrated in Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore.

Alcantara seats, bespoke paint, carbon accents

The cabin is driver-focused: Alcantara and leather seats, smaller angled steering wheel, minimalist design. Extensive personalization available—custom paint, interior trim, carbon-fibre accents, personalized door sills. Customization alone can add ₹20-40 lakh to the final bill.

Not for daily driving—200L boot, 6-8 km/l

Boot space: just 200 litres. Fuel consumption: 6-8 km/litre in city. Low ground clearance hazards and soft-top care needed. Ownership is pure experience—weekend escapes, mountain passes, prized garage possession. Resale holds well if low-mileage and maintained.

A ₹4.6 crore filter for driving purists

The Amalfi Spider isn't for everyone—it's a filter for ultra-high-net-worth collectors. At this price, practicality doesn't matter. What does: visceral performance, exclusivity, Ferrari heritage, and a 640 bhp statement. For purists, priceless.
