Ferrari has officially pulled the wraps off the Amalfi, a striking new grand tourer that replaces the beloved Roma—and it’s more than just a facelift. With sharper performance, aerodynamic upgrades, and an evolved design language, the Amalfi signals the beginning of an exciting new chapter for Ferrari’s front-engined GT lineup.
What’s New Under the Hood?
The Amalfi sticks with Ferrari’s tried-and-tested 3.9-litre twin-turbo V8, but now it’s tuned to churn out 640hp—that’s 20 horses more than the Roma. Paired with an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox, this powerhouse rockets the car from 0 to 100kph in just 3.3 seconds, while 0–200kph takes 9 seconds flat. The top speed? A blistering 320kph.
The boost in performance is thanks to a lighter camshaft, an updated performance-tuned ECU (inspired by the Ferrari 12Cilindri), and other refinements that make the engine more responsive, especially in higher gears.
Designed to Slice Through the Wind
Though the glasshouse is retained, every other body panel is brand new. The front fascia gets a bold update reminiscent of the Purosangue SUV, complete with a gloss-black bar connecting sleek new headlights. The active rear wing has also been reshaped and can generate up to 110kg more downforce than the Roma.
Additional airflow enhancements include ducts near the headlamps that not only improve cooling for the turbochargers but also reduce drag, making this Ferrari as smart as it is swift.
GT Silhouette with Subtle Tweaks
The Amalfi maintains the elegant GT profile we’ve loved in the Roma, featuring flush door handles and 20-inch alloy wheels. Around back, there are slight taillight revisions, and the license plate holder now sits neatly within the rear diffuser, giving the car a cleaner rear-end aesthetic.
Cabin: Classic Ferrari Meets Modern Tech
Inside, the cabin gets a luxury-tech blend starting with a suspended center console, carved from solid aluminum. It houses the gear selector, key slot, wireless charging pad, and additional secondary controls.
The touchscreen setup has been upgraded to a 10.25-inch landscape unit, replacing the older vertical display. It supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The front passenger continues to get their own 8.8-inch display, while the driver gets a slightly smaller yet sharper 15.6-inch digital cluster.
The real headline? Physical buttons make a comeback on the steering wheel, including the signature red engine start/stop button, a nod to classic Ferrari ergonomics and a welcome change from the Roma’s touch-sensitive layout. And yes, just like the Roma, the Amalfi retains its rear seats—perfect for occasional passengers or extra luggage space on long grand tours.
