Ferrari has officially revealed the Amalfi, a luxurious 2+2 grand tourer designed to replace the Roma. The new model blends timeless Italian elegance with notable performance enhancements and improved user-focused features.
What’s New Under the Skin
The Amalfi retains the Roma’s front-mid-engine layout but introduces major technical upgrades:
- Powered by a 3.9-litre twin-turbo V8, the Amalfi delivers 640 hp, a 19 hp bump over the Roma, with 760 Nm of torque.
- Acceleration figures include 0–100 km/h in 3.3 seconds and 0–200 km/h in 9 seconds, with a top speed of 320 km/h.
- An 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission sends power to the rear wheels for a pure grand touring experience.
Design Evolution: Subtle Yet Striking
While the Amalfi shares its overall silhouette with the Roma, nearly every exterior panel is new:
- A redesigned sharknose front fascia adds aggression without sacrificing elegance.
- Sleek headlamps and recontoured surfaces boost aerodynamic performance.
- The rear features a functional active spoiler with three adjustable settings, capable of generating up to 110 kg of downforce at speed.
This evolution enhances both aesthetics and road presence, making the Amalfi an unmistakable Ferrari.
Interior Overhaul: Practical Luxury
Ferrari has significantly revised the interior of the Amalfi for improved usability:
- The previously controversial touch-sensitive controls have been replaced with physical buttons, including the iconic red engine start button on the steering wheel.
- A 10.25-inch horizontal central touchscreen complements a 15.6-inch digital driver display and an 8.8-inch passenger screen.
- The dual-cockpit design includes premium features like wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a wireless charging pad, and a Burmester premium sound system.
The interior updates are aimed at delivering a more tactile and intuitive user experience while maintaining a premium, tech-forward feel.
Driving Dynamics and Chassis Tech
Though it shares the basic underpinnings with the Roma, the Amalfi introduces several engineering refinements:
- Steering, braking, and suspension systems have been recalibrated for improved precision and comfort.
- Advanced systems include brake-by-wire, ABS Evo, and Side Slip Control 6.1.
- The car features active aerodynamics for increased stability and a perfect 50:50 weight distribution, supported by lightweight engine internals for sharper throttle response.
These upgrades ensure the Amalfi is not just a cruiser but also a capable, confidence-inspiring performer.
Market Launch, Price, and Outlook
- The Ferrari Amalfi is priced from around €240,000, translating to approximately ₹4 crore in India (before taxes and duties).
- European deliveries are expected to begin in early 2026, followed by rollouts in North America, Asia, and select Middle Eastern markets.
- The Amalfi serves as Ferrari’s flagship internal combustion grand tourer as the brand gears up for the debut of its first all-electric model in late 2025.
Final Take
The Ferrari Amalfi bridges the past and future of Ferrari’s grand touring legacy. It combines the charm and balance of the Roma with more power, sharper dynamics, and enhanced usability. Whether cruising long highways or tackling spirited backroads, the Amalfi promises an engaging, luxurious experience with unmistakable Ferrari character.
For those who appreciate old-school V8 performance paired with modern-day sophistication, the Amalfi could be the grand tourer of choice heading into 2026.
