Review written on 5/1958.
Several months ago I thought to my self. "Philadelphia Motors should really make a Roadster that is better than the 3274." Someone at Philadelphia Motors must of been reading my mind because I got my hands on the latest Amalfi and gave it a test spin. I hope it's not as bad as the 4860 but the real question is: "How far behind does it lag to the 3274?"
I was giddy when I heard we were testing Philadelphia Motors Amalfi. On the track this thing is fast. How fast? Notice there are no pictures on this page? That fast! This is one of the fastest Roadster I've ever been in. As impressive as that sounds, the 184 hp @ 4560RPMs 4976 cc V4 engine is even more impressive. Peddle to the metal, this baby will do 118 mph easily. And in a straight line we hit a 12.551s 0 to 60 mph! If that wasn't enough with the 170 lb-ft of torque will melt the tires off the rims. When hooked to a trailer, this baby will haul an amazing 855 lbs! The Philadelphia Motors Amalfi handles smoothly and can really turn a corner for a Roadster. While it is certainly not a race car, it can handle any real world situation you throw at it. Mommy can I keep it? Please?!
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.
The Philadelphia Motors Amalfi is one of the most spacious vehicles in its class. With 26 cu-ft of cargo and passenger room you should never have any issues with transportation. Even if you have to move an elephant...
'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 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.
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 15.2 mpg! This is not the vehicle for trying to save money on fuel expenses.
While the Philadelphia Motors Amalfi is certainly impressive in term of safety, it's not overly designed in this fashion in a way that would imped its enjoyment. Never the less this vehicle is more than safe enough for even the most uptight and poor drivers among us.
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.
