If you're one for the latest and greatest and were in the process of getting yourself a Ferrari Roma, those plans need to be aborted. Ferrari has unveiled the Amalfi, a V8-powered 2+2 coupé that steps into the spotlight as the successor to the Roma (no prizes for guessing what part of Italy the car is named after). The grand tourer offers a seamless blend of performance, elegance, and everyday functionality.
The Roma was often criticized for looking too much like a certain car from a British luxury car marque, with some speculating that legal action would follow the announcement of the Roma. That never materialized, and interestingly, the Amalfi's design doesn't depart much from the Roma look. Perhaps this design will be around for a while, and we all need to get used to it.
It's only fair to mention that the long-hood design is similar to that of the F12 Berlinetta and Superfast, but that's unlikely to settle the debate.
Engine and Power
At its heart lies a front-mid-mounted, twin-turbocharged V8 engine from Ferrari's illustrious F154 family. It delivers 640 cv at 7,500 rpm, paired with a sharp 0–100 km/h sprint in just 3.3 seconds, and a top speed of 320 km/h. The powertrain is mated to an eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox, which has been refined for smoother and more responsive shifting.
Sculpted Design, Active Aerodynamics
The Amalfi's sculpted, minimalist exterior evokes sophistication while emphasizing aerodynamic efficiency. Features like the large front intake, fluid lines, and a rear mobile wing deliver up to 110 kg of downforce at 250 km/h. Distinctive touches such as hidden rear lights and carbon-fiber elements lend a modern edge while honoring Ferrari's lineage.
The responsibility of keeping the car firmly planted on the track (or road) falls on the 245/35 R20 tires in front and the 285/35 R20 tires in the back. The combination delivers balanced agility and traction, complementing the car's precise dynamics.
Crafted Interior with Driver-Centric Tech
Inside, the dual-cockpit design establishes a driver-focused atmosphere, with physical buttons (including the return of the classic start button) and high-quality materials. The driver-facing display spans 15.6 inches, complemented by a 10.25-inch central unit and an 8.8-inch passenger screen. Features such as Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, wireless charging, and an optional Burmester 14-speaker audio system enhance the onboard experience. Perfect for those long scenic drives.
Technological Refinements
The Amalfi features advanced driving systems including Brake-by-Wire, ABS Evo (which debuted in the 296 GTB), and sharpened electric power steering, which is now 10% faster at identifying grip on the 20″ wheels. Ferrari's signature Manettino selector, combined with a recalibrated suspension and an active rear wing, ensures responsiveness across everyday roads and spirited drives.
Italian Elegance
Named after the Amalfi Coast, the coupé channels its Italian inspiration - a streamlined silhouette and understated elegance designed for performance and refined cruising. Yes, it has back seats, but like many cars in this category, don't expect to fit regular-sized adults in them. The back also doubles as room for enhanced storage, so you can pack a reasonably sized bag for those extended trips.
The starting price is set at about €240,000, with deliveries in Europe expected to begin early 2026, followed by the U.S. later that year. It's time to jump in and configure yours and start counting down the days to delivery.
