A Project Focused on the Future
With the launch of the new Ferrari Amalfi, Maranello confirms its commitment to the V8 grand touring formula, complementing — but not yet replacing — the upcoming electric models that are well underway in development. The choice of the Amalfi Coast as the venue for its debut is no coincidence: an iconic location that evokes elegance, driving pleasure, and Italian culture — values that are deeply embedded in this car.
The Amalfi positions itself within the luxury 2+2 coupé segment, retaining its classic front-mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout. However, it introduces an evolved design language, a completely revised interior, and refined mechanical components to ensure superior dynamics, safety, and comfort.
The V8 Engine: The Beating Heart of Maranello
Beneath the bonnet of the Ferrari Amalfi lies the latest evolution of the famed F154 engine, a 3.855 cc twin-turbo V8 delivering 640 hp at 7,500 rpm and a peak torque of 760 Nm between 3,000 and 5,750 rpm. This results in an exceptional power-to-displacement ratio of 166 hp per liter, among the highest for a non-hybrid Ferrari V8 road car.
Performance improvements stem from new-generation turbochargers spinning up to 171,000 rpm, redesigned exhaust manifolds, upgraded wastegate valves, and a recalibrated ECU. The results are stunning: 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in just 3.3 seconds, 0-200 km/h (0-124 mph) in 9.1 seconds, and a top speed of 320 km/h (199 mph).
Beyond sheer performance, the Amalfi delivers a more linear throttle response and a richer, more distinctive V8 soundtrack — particularly at mid-to-high revs — thanks to a revised active exhaust system.
Design: Functional Elegance
Aesthetically, the Ferrari Amalfi marks a sharp evolution from its predecessors. The design language abandons superfluous details in favor of clean, tensioned surfaces with a strong aerodynamic focus. The front features a horizontal black bar connecting the ultra-slim LED headlights, removing the traditional open grille.
The long bonnet and set-back cabin emphasize the car’s classic grand tourer proportions. The sculpted flanks are devoid of visible air intakes, reinforcing the clean design ethos.
At the rear, the short, high deck integrates a discreet active spoiler, operating in three modes — Low Drag (LD), Medium Drag (MD), and High Drag (HD) — capable of generating up to 110 kg of downforce at 250 km/h. This system enhances high-speed stability and braking efficiency without compromising drag in cruising conditions.
Interior: Ergonomics, Craftsmanship, and the Return of Physical Controls
The cabin of the Amalfi represents a significant evolution. The layout adopts a "dual cockpit" architecture, visually and functionally separating the driver and front passenger areas.
Crucially, Ferrari brings back physical controls: the steering wheel features tactile buttons for lights, wipers, and drive modes, along with a titanium start button — replacing the controversial touch-sensitive controls used in the Roma. The center console hosts a 10.25-inch horizontal touchscreen, complemented by a 15.6-inch digital instrument cluster and an 8.8-inch passenger display.
The central tunnel is milled from solid aluminum, featuring a gear selector inspired by Ferrari’s iconic gated manual shifters. Material quality reaches new heights, with extensive use of leather, carbon fiber, aluminum, and soft-touch finishes throughout the cockpit.
Comfort features include 18-way adjustable seats with ventilation and massage functions, plus an optional Burmester® premium sound system.
Driving Dynamics: The Perfect Balance Between GT and Sport
Technically, the Ferrari Amalfi introduces major improvements over previous models:
Brake-by-wire system with next-gen ABS Evo, improving braking precision by 9% and reducing stopping distances.
Electric power steering with advanced grip detection, dynamically adjusting steering response and traction management in real time.
SCM-E adaptive suspension, integrated with Ferrari’s Side Slip Control 6.1 system for precise lateral dynamics.
Rear active aero spoiler with three downforce modes.
These combined systems deliver sharp turn-in, superb high-speed stability, and impressive ride compliance, making the Amalfi equally capable on winding coastal roads, highways, and mountain passes.
ADAS and Driver Assistance Systems
For the first time in a Ferrari GT, the Amalfi offers a full suite of ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems), including:
Adaptive cruise control with stop & go functionality.
Automatic emergency braking (AEB).
Blind spot monitoring (BSD) and lane change assist.
Traffic sign recognition.
Lane departure warning and lane-keeping assist (LKA).
360-degree camera system with surround view.
These features are designed to enhance everyday usability and long-distance touring safety without compromising Ferrari’s trademark driving engagement.
Pricing, Availability, and Market Positioning
The Ferrari Amalfi is priced from €240,000 in Europe, with well-optioned models easily exceeding €300,000, particularly when personalized through Ferrari’s Tailor Made program. Deliveries will commence in Q1 2026 for Europe, with North America following 3-6 months later, subject to additional import duties.
Production of the Roma coupé ends with the launch of the Amalfi, while the Roma Spider will remain available until mid-2026.
With the Ferrari Amalfi, Maranello demonstrates that it’s possible to blend the purity of a combustion V8 with cutting-edge technology, modern comfort, and timeless Italian elegance.
The Amalfi is destined to become the definitive GT for those who demand a Ferrari that’s as thrilling on a mountain pass as it is refined on long-distance journeys. It offers the rare combination of performance, beauty, and usability — all delivered with unmistakable Ferrari character.
