Ferrari Amalfi Spider Launched in India: Open-Top Flagship Debuts at Rs 4.6 Crore With Surprising 'Discount'

New Delhi: Ferrari just completed its fresh grand-touring chapter in India, rolling out the highly anticipated open-top version of its new flagship. Entering the market at an ex-showroom price of Rs. 4.6 crore, the Ferrari Amalfi Spider serves as the drop-top sibling to the Amalfi coupe, which originally arrived to replace the beloved Roma. With the hardtop already claiming its territory on Indian roads earlier this year, the Spider’s arrival seals the deal for the lineup.

Even though it mirrors the jaw-dropping curves and posture of the standard coupe, the Spider has plenty of unique tricks up its sleeve. If you’re eyeing this convertible as your next big garage addition, these five realities tell you everything you need to know.

What is the discount for the drop-top?

Usually, chopping the roof off a supercar means paying a massive premium but Ferrari flipped the script here. At Rs.4.6 crore, the Amalfi Spider actually costs Rs.99 lakh less than the coupe version, which retails for a steeper Rs.5.59 crore (ex-showroom). It’s a rare win for buyers who prefer open-air driving without the usual convertible tax.

Ferrari’s masterclass 3.9-litre, twin-turbo V8 petrol engine, which is mated to an ultra-crisp 8-speed dual-clutch transmission. It pumps out 640 horsepower alongside 760 Nm of torque. The real engineering magic shows up on the stopwatch. Even though the folding roof hardware adds an extra 86 kilograms to the chassis, the Spider still cracks the 0-100 kmph sprint in an identical 3.3 seconds.

What kind of technology is packed inside the cockpit?

The defining feature is, of course, the automated fabric soft-top. The mechanical folding system tucks the roof away entirely, or seals you back inside, in just 13.5 seconds. You don’t have to pull over to use it either; the mechanism operates flawlessly on the move at speeds up to 60 kmph. Aside from the roof itself and custom option packages, the internal mechanical architecture is identical to the hardtop.

How practical is the folding fabric roof on the move?

Ferrari kept the coupe's elegant, sweeping silhouette intact. The front end carries those signature ultra-slim LED headlights split by a dark horizontal accent line, sitting right above wide air intakes and an aggressive front bumper designed to split the wind. Around the back, the car features minimalist LED taillights, a loud quad-exhaust setup, and an integrated active rear wing that automatically shifts its angle based on how fast you're going to keep the rear tires pinned to the asphalt.

Slide into the driver’s seat, and the cockpit environment is a mirror image of its hardtop brother. You get the same 2+2 seating layout wrapped in premium hide, anchored by a three-spoke steering wheel fitted with tactile physical controls.

The dashboard is practically a wall of digital screens. It has a massive 15.6-inch curved panel handles the driver's gauges. A central 10.25-inch touchscreen also given, that takes care of the main media and navigation settings. A dedicated 8.8-inch passenger display sits right above the glovebox so your co-pilot can watch the speed and revs in real-time.

Every expected luxury is accounted for, from multi-way power seats and automatic climate control to wireless phone charging. On the tech front, Ferrari packed in a Level 2 ADAS safety suite and a helpful 360-degree camera system. Just keep your luggage light for weekend getaways, while the trunk offers 255 liters of room with the fabric roof up, that space shrinks down to 172 liters the moment you decide to drop the top.
