Ferrari has officially taken the wraps off its latest grand tourer, the Amalfi. Replacing the much-loved Roma, the new model brings sharper looks, improved dynamics, and a more powerful twin-turbo V8 engine. It’s Ferrari’s fresh take on a modern, stylish GT that balances everyday usability with breathtaking performance.
Design
The Amalfi borrows its silhouette from the Roma but adds a distinct flair of its own. It features sculpted lines, minimalist bodywork, and a more aggressive stance. At the front, a wide intake and a sleek, contoured bonnet set the tone, while the rear showcases an integrated active spoiler that adjusts based on speed for better stability.
Making its debut on this model is a new paint shade called Verde Costiera, a soft green inspired by the scenic Amalfi coast in Italy. This hue perfectly captures the car’s dual personality – elegant yet athletic.
Performance
Under the bonnet is a revised 3.9-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine. It now pumps out 631bhp and 760Nm of torque, paired with an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox. Thanks to this powertrain, the Amalfi rockets from 0 to 100kmph in just 3.3 seconds and hits 200kmph in a flat nine seconds.
The weight distribution is a balanced 50:50, making it agile through corners while offering stability at high speeds. Ferrari’s latest electronic wizardry further enhances the experience.

Interior
Inside, the Amalfi gets a dual-cockpit layout that feels both futuristic and functional. The digital instrument cluster spans 15.6 inches, joined by a 10.25-inch central touchscreen and an 8.8-inch display for the passenger.
One of the most welcome updates is the return of physical controls on the steering wheel. The touch-sensitive buttons from recent Ferraris have been replaced with proper tactile switches, including a striking aluminium start button that gives off classic Ferrari vibes.
For comfort, the car offers optional ventilated and massaging seats. A Burmester 14-speaker sound system ensures a high-end audio experience, while the front lift system raises the nose by 40mm, making speed bumps far less intimidating.
Dynamics
Ferrari has thrown in all its latest tech to make the Amalfi as dynamic as it is beautiful. The car features a brake-by-wire system, the ABS Evo from the 296 GTB, and the Side Slip Control 6.1 (SSC) for enhanced cornering.
Revised steering geometry sharpens the feedback, and the active rear spoiler adjusts automatically to provide varying levels of downforce depending on your speed and driving style.
Tyres are available in Bridgestone Potenza Sport and Pirelli P ZERO options, both fitted to 20-inch alloy wheels. ADAS features like adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, and blind spot monitoring add a layer of safety to this high-performance GT.
Verdict
The Ferrari Amalfi steps up where the Roma left off, delivering more power, sharper styling, and a blend of classic Ferrari charm with modern tech. With physical controls returning, an elegant new design, and serious performance under its belt, the Amalfi is shaping up to be Ferrari’s most user-friendly grand tourer yet.
