As part of the lead up to the Canadian Formula 1 Grand Prix, Charles Leclerc was on hand to pull the sheet off for the Quebec premiere of the 2027 Ferrari Amalfi Spider. The unveiling took place at the Italian brand’s Montreal dealership.
Charles Leclerc is one of Ferrari’s two factory racing drivers. Hailing from Monaco, he was the F1 world championship runner-up in 2022 and currently boasts eight career victories in Formula 1.
For the event on Thursday evening prior to Grand Prix weekend, Gab Bitton (owner of the Ferrari Montreal dealership) welcomed friends, clients, collectors and members of the automotive press. All were gathered to a) celebrate F1 weekend kickoff and b) get a close-up look at the new 2027 Ferrari Amalfi Spider.
Taking turns addressing those in attendance were Luca Zanetti, President of Ferrari for the Americas), Frédéric Vasseur, Ferrari Team Principal, and Charles Leclerc himself. Leclerc took the opportunity to share his general thoughts on how the Ferrari Amalfi Spider handles on the open road.
The race car driver also made sure to mention his love for the upcoming Ferrari Luce. That all-electric model is expected to be officially unveiled very soon.
About the 2027 Ferrari Amalfi Spider
Ferrari revealed the Amalfi Spider this past March as the successor to the Roma Spider. Now, for the very first time, it has made its way to the province of Quebec.
Classified as a “2+” convertible, the Amalfi is powered by a mid-rear mounted twin-turbo V8 engine producing 640 hp. It works in tandem with an 8-speed dual-clutch F1 DCT transmission.
The model features a folding soft-top roof designed by engineers to optimize acoustic and thermal insulation. Dropping the top takes just 13.5 seconds.
