Ferrari Amalfi Revealed: Roma’s Stylish and Sharper Successor

Ferrari has finally lifted the veil off its newest grand tourer, the Ferrari Amalfi—a stylish, more powerful evolution of the Roma. While the Amalfi continues to share its core underpinnings with the Roma, nearly everything else has been enhanced for performance, design, and driving feel. Let’s dive into what makes this new prancing horse stand out.

A Familiar Heart, Now Pumping Harder

At the core of the Amalfi is the same 3.9-litre twin-turbo V8 from the Roma, but it’s been tuned for more power and better responsiveness.

• Power: 640hp (20hp more than Roma)
• Torque: 760Nm (unchanged)
• Transmission: 8-speed dual-clutch automatic
• 0-100kph: Just 3.3 seconds
• 0-200kph: Only 9 seconds
• Top Speed: 320kph

Moreover, thanks to a lighter camshaft (1.3kg less), the engine revs quicker, especially in higher gears. The ECU has also been updated—borrowed from the Ferrari 12Cilindri—for sharper performance.

Design: Sleeker, Sharper, and All-New Panels

Although the Amalfi may resemble the Roma at a glance, every panel apart from the glasshouse is brand new. The front fascia takes design cues from the Purosangue SUV, ditching the Roma’s shark-nose grille in favour of a black bar connecting sleek new headlamps.

• New front lip and ducts improve turbo cooling and reduce drag
• Active rear wing adds up to 110kg of downforce
• Flush door handles and 20-inch wheels maintain the GT silhouette
• Subtle changes at the rear include revised taillights and a repositioned number plate recess

Interior: A Blend of Digital and Physical Touches

Step inside, and you’ll notice both a refreshed layout and upgraded tech. The suspended central tunnel—milled from a solid aluminium block—adds a sense of modern craftsmanship.

Key Cabin Highlights:

• New 10.25-inch landscape touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto
• Physical steering controls return, replacing Roma’s capacitive ones
• Red engine start/stop button now feels tactile again
• Retains 8.8-inch passenger screen
• Driver’s display is now 15.6 inches (down by 0.4 inches)
• Two rear seats continue to make it a proper 2+2 grand tourer

Furthermore, there’s a wireless charging pad, key slot, and new gear selector placement, all integrated within the central console.

What About the Convertible?

Interestingly, Ferrari has chosen to keep the Roma Spider on sale for now. However, a drop-top version of the Amalfi is expected in the near future.

Behind the Name: Amalfi

According to Ferrari’s marketing head Enrico Galliera, the name “Amalfi” was chosen because “when you buy a painting, the name should be new.” Appropriately, it draws inspiration from the picturesque Amalfi Coast in southern Italy, known for its elegant blend of performance roads and scenic beauty—much like this new GT.

Our Take

The Ferrari Amalfi is everything a modern grand tourer should be: faster, sleeker, more connected, and—most importantly—more engaging. While it builds on the Roma’s foundations, the upgrades in aerodynamics, engine response, and cabin design make it a true evolution rather than a simple replacement. For now, the Roma Spider stays in the picture, but it won’t be long before the Amalfi drops its top too.
