Review written on 6/1947.
Some say we're never kind enough to Philadelphia Motors. Face it, we don't pull our punches when it comes to vehicle reviews. Just look at what we call the Amalfi. That doesn't mean we don't sing praises when someone makes a good Roadster like the 2171. So where does the Amalfi stand in the Roadster segment? After spending a few days with the Amalfi. We have made our judgment.

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 14.649s 0 to 60 mph time and a top speed of 107 mph. The Amalfi is able to keep this speed all the way up to the the top speed of 107 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 981 lbs which is amazing! 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. 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!!!

When it comes to comforts and luxury, the Philadelphia Motors Amalfi isn't going to win any awards. It barely meets what you need in a vehicle. The seats are hard and uncomfortable for long trips. Features are a little barren, but it has the basic necessities. Material quality leaves a bit to be desired. We would not pay a premium price for this interior finish, but if you're looking for A to B transportation, it is almost tolerable.

22 cu-ft puts the Philadelphia Motors Amalfi roughly in line with other vehicles in its class. We would consider this to be enough space for everyday use of a vehicle of this type. We certainly wouldn't use it if you're looking to haul a bunch of junk around.

'Spare no expense!' and 'Perfection!' are known to be mottos of Philadelphia Motors. And they show this off in their Amalfi. The build quality is no short of perfectly amazing. Hats off to their hard work.

The Philadelphia Motors Amalfi is not exactly dependable. It won't last a million miles, but it will get you down the road. Do expect a few issues over the lifetime of the vehicle. But most are fixable.

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.

With that said, I would not trust the Philadelphia Motors Amalfi with my kids. The risk adverse should avoid this vehicle due to its horrible safety features. This is probably why the dealership makes you sign a wavier before driving it.

Some may be able to point to other Roadster and say this is better. This is prettier. This is the best Roadster. But they would be wrong. Because beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Behold the Philadelphia Motors Amalfi it may not be everything for everyone. But it is certainly something for someone.
