Review written on 8/1964.
The Roadster segment is not for everyone. But the Amalfi may be the vehicle for you. Philadelphia Motors sure hopes it is. So this week I took a trip down to Philadelphia Motors's headquarters to test out the Amalfi. Luckily we've also tested the Lucca and the 2480 this year. So we should be able to give you a verdict on how it stands in the Roadster community.

The first stop for the Philadelphia Motors Amalfi was the track. I won't lie. I was scared. This Roadster is built for performance. Philadelphia Motors cut no corners when designing this vehicle for speed. The vomit stains on the carpet prove that the 199 hp @ 6128RPMs 2176 cc Flat4 engine roars this rocket to a top speed of 129 mph in an impressive 10.810s 0 to 60 mph. The engine puts out 137 lb-ft of torque making it able to tow 529 lbs which is average for this class. I'm guilty wanting to steal this one for my self. On the track you can tell that the Philadelphia Motors Amalfi is above average when it comes to handling and driveability. Most Roadster would not be able to keep up with the Amalfi on twisty and windy roads. It can almost put a smile on your face.

While the Philadelphia Motors Amalfi won't win any awards, It won't turn heads, and it certainly doesn't have a wow factor. The Amalfi does have a very well design interior. It may not be top end, but it is more than enough for long trips and everyday drivers. It makes you feel good about life. Without feeling pompous.

We thought the Philadelphia Motors Amalfi would be better served by removing something... anything... to make more space for passengers. Children are the only ones who will fit comfortably in this vehicle. And even then they won't have a place to put their backpack in this 20 cu-ft box.

The manufacturing process of Philadelphia Motors has really found something. The Amalfi seems like a hand built car through and through. The workmanship is amazing. Only fine artisans could produce something like this.

The Philadelphia Motors Amalfi did very well on our dependability tests. We did not have any major issues in long term testing. The minor issues we did have were easy to resolve and not very costly. We believe that the Philadelphia Motors Amalfi is dependable enough for even the most unknowledgeable owner. It proper care and maintenance, even if done by a shop, the Philadelphia Motors Amalfi should last a very long time.

Out on civilian streets you'll never be thought of as a eco-maniac while driving your Philadelphia Motors Amalfi. With its sub-par 31.2 mpg the Amalfi will hit your wallet hard. Don't worry, the gas station clerk is a nice guy!

With some focus on safety, Philadelphia Motors Amalfi has been able to outshine most in its class. It almost makes you believe the marketing hype that Philadelphia Motors does actually believe in the safety and security of your family.

When you drive the Philadelphia Motors Amalfi you'll see other Roadster on the road and think to your self: Why would anyone buy anything other than a Philadelphia Motors. Simple answer, they're stupid!
