Review written on 3/1940.
The new Amalfi looks to put Philadelphia Motors on the map against rivals in the Roadster segment. This new Roadster has some intriguing features, but is it enough to push the Amalfi to the top of your buying list above V2478? Or is it such a lemon that it should be forgotten much like the Sturculinus? Let's take a look at the details in this month's Vehicle Review!

On my first track run in the Philadelphia Motors Amalfi suffered 2 cracked rips and a ruptured spleen. Not from wrecking it, but from the sheer raw power of this Roadster. The Amalfi's 118 hp @ 3417RPMs 4976 cc V4 engine drives you into the seats while you accelerate with an impressive 16.305s 0 to 60 mph time and a top speed of 104 mph. The Amalfi is able to keep this speed all the way up to the the top speed of 104 mph. If this doesn't drop your jaw, the 146 lb-ft of torque will spin the earth in the opposite direction, the baby can tow 648 lbs which is amazing! Compared to its peers in the Roadster class the Philadelphia Motors Amalfi selling point should not be driveability. The Amalfi offers bare bones handling. There is just enough grip in the wheels to keep you from flying off the side of a cliff... But not much. On the track, it is not much better. After my hospital visit, I came to the conclusion that this is the best Roadster I've ever tested on the track. Buy IT NOW!!!

The Philadelphia Motors Amalfi reminds me of jail. The longer you're inside of it the less you want to be there. The interior is drab and non-existent. Devoid of form or functionality. There is nothing there. Nothing to write about. Just horrible, cold, nothingness. And that is how you can best describe the Amalfi's insides.

Amazingly spacey the Philadelphia Motors Amalfi can bost 26 cu-ft interior and cargo space. This vehicle is massive compared to most. It's one of our top choices when it comes to practicality.

Serious effort goes into every Philadelphia Motors Amalfi produced. The build quality of these vehicles is amazing! We could not find a single flaw in its construction while we were testing it. Everything fits properly, nothing is misaligned or misplaced. All of us here at GCM commend Philadelphia Motors in their efforts when it comes to the production of this vehicle.

Engineers at Philadelphia Motors managed to make the perfect vehicle. It has absolutely not issues until hours after the warranty expires. We tested this phenomena 5 times on the Philadelphia Motors Amalfi and every time they had a major breakdown within a week after the warranty expired. While great for Philadelphia Motors this is probably not a vehicle you should buy if you plan on keeping it. The dependability of the Philadelphia Motors Amalfi leaves a lot to be desired.

Here is a pro-stock tip. If the Philadelphia Motors Amalfi sells any meaningful number of vehicles, be sure to buy fuel stocks! It's that bad! The Amalfi gets an abysmal 15.5 mpg! This is not the vehicle for trying to save money on fuel expenses.

If safety was your priority, then this isn't the best on the market. That being said it's better than a lot of vehicles as well. The folks at Philadelphia Motors didn't make safety their focus, but there are enough features here to keep most people's minds at ease. And that's pretty much the jest of the thing. The Philadelphia Motors Amalfi is average in all respects.

All in all, the Philadelphia Motors Amalfi is a good choice among its peers. It checks just enough boxes in our Roadster tests for us to give it our recommendation. There are a few other Roadster that are better than the Amalfi. But for some buyers, the Amalfi is still a good choice.
