Review written on 3/1940.
Everyone always says the V2478 is the greatest Roadster made. But you always go against the grain. What about a Sturculinus? OK stop laughing. Yes we all know the doors fall off when you open them. So what's the solution to setting the newest trend? Ever thought about a Philadelphia Motors? This month we take a look at the new Amalfi Tour. Is this the Roadster you've been looking for? Find out!
On my first track run in the Philadelphia Motors Amalfi Tour suffered 2 cracked rips and a ruptured spleen. Not from wrecking it, but from the sheer raw power of this Roadster. The Amalfi Tour's 118 hp @ 3417RPMs 4976 cc V4 engine drives you into the seats while you accelerate with an impressive 14.619s 0 to 60 mph time and a top speed of 107 mph. The Amalfi Tour is able to keep this speed all the way up to the the top speed of 107 mph. If that wasn't enough with the 146 lb-ft of torque will melt the tires off the rims. When hooked to a trailer, this baby will haul an amazing 987 lbs! Compared to its peers in the Roadster class the Philadelphia Motors Amalfi Tour selling point should not be driveability. The Amalfi Tour 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!!!
While certainly does not have the best features or materials. The Philadelphia Motors Amalfi Tour does provide the bare necessities required in a vehicle of this type. No more and no less. As well as it should. If you wanted to spend that extra bit you would of bought the better vehicle. Was Philadelphia Motors wise in this respect? Maybe, but we do think they should of offered at least a little more bang for the buck so to speak.
When it comes to cargo, its 22 cu-ft of space is better than most vehicles of its type, but far from the best. We believe there is enough room in the Philadelphia Motors Amalfi Tour to fill all your needs without over doing it.
'Spare no expense!' and 'Perfection!' are known to be mottos of Philadelphia Motors. And they show this off in their Amalfi Tour. The build quality is no short of perfectly amazing. Hats off to their hard work.
The Philadelphia Motors Amalfi Tour 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 Tour is dependable enough for even the most unknowledgeable owner. It proper care and maintenance, even if done by a shop, the Philadelphia Motors Amalfi Tour should last a very long time.
The Philadelphia Motors Amalfi Tour's fuel economy is impressive, but not in a good way. The Amalfi Tour's 15.5 mpg is one of the worst in class. This might not be troublesome when you look at the numbers, but it will be when you actually have to pay for it.
From the looks of things, the engineers at Philadelphia Motors took the bare minimum approach. The Philadelphia Motors Amalfi Tour has just enough safety features and quality materials to keep you and your family safe in most instances. But don't expect much if it effected their bottom line. There is enough there to product their liabilities, thus protecting them from lawsuits. No more, no less. If you are focused on keeping your family safe, this is not the vehicle for you.
I was happy with the time I spent in the Philadelphia Motors Amalfi Tour. This car is truly magnificent. I think future generations will look back at this vehicle and think, "I wish I owned one of these." It is absolutely one of the best Roadster you can buy. An instant classic that others in the segment will be compared to. I wish I could spend more time with the Amalfi Tour but it is time for them to take it away. I believe I might go buy one myself.
