The new Ferrari Amalfi promises Dolce Vita at the rhythm of the V8

Here is the Amalfi, a brand new Ferrari that doesn’t deny any of the heritage of the Roma it will replace starting in 2026.

Elegant, refined, and deeply redesigned, this 2+2 embodies Ferrari’s most hedonistic vision of the Italian GT. And it perfectly lives up to its name! It’s hard to imagine a car more at home on the winding roads of the Amalfi coast, between Minori and Positano, which it seems designed to embrace.

Ferrari is not referring here to a simple facelift of the Roma, but to a true passing of the baton. While the lines of the Amalfi resemble the Roma, the design work is much deeper. Redesigned grille, a black band on the nose in line with the F80 and 12Cilindri, refined rear lights— the style is bolder and more assertive. The interior design has also been revised with a more luxurious presentation, physical controls returning (goodbye to the criticized haptic pads), a new 10.3-inch central screen, and a dedicated screen for the passenger.

A GT for driving fast and well

Under the long front hood, we find the 3.9-liter twin-turbo V8, now pushed to 630 hp (+20 compared to the Roma) thanks to new turbo management. The torque remains fixed at 760 Nm, transmitted to the rear wheels via an 8-speed dual-clutch gearbox, already seen on the SF90. The 0 to 100 km/h is announced in 3.3 seconds, with a top speed flirting with 320 km/h. But this is not a track Ferrari. The Amalfi emphasizes endurance, flexibility, and pleasure at a cruising pace, fitting perfectly as a seaside GT.

It also integrates technologies from the 296 GTB, such as an Evo ABS and a brake-by-wire system, ensuring precise and modern driving. The active rear spoiler adjusts its angle based on speed to optimize downforce or air penetration.

A comfort finally up to par?

Ferrari has paid attention to the reception of its valuable clients. The front seats, covered in leather and Alcantara, feature a hugging design. The rear space remains symbolic but is sufficient for a piece of luggage or an extra passenger. The trunk accommodates a pair of bags or a golf bag, something almost unheard of in a two-wheel drive Ferrari.

The 14-speaker Burmester audio system, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, and a safety suite including adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, and blind-spot monitoring enhance versatility.

Expected in dealerships in 2026, the Ferrari Amalfi will be displayed at an entry price close to 240,000 euros in Europe, excluding a 70,000 euro penalty for French customers. This positioning makes it almost a “good deal” in the Ferrari universe as it is much less expensive than the 12Cilindri at 435,600 euros or the SF90 Stradale at nearly 600,000 euros. It retains the status of access GT coupe within the Roma lineup.

The Roma aimed to attract a broader clientele, and the Amalfi may well succeed where its predecessor stumbled, offering uncompromising grand tourism in the Italian way, balancing tradition and modernity.
