Ferrari has officially unveiled the replacement to its Roma and it’s the Amalfi. Unique to the Ferrari line-up in that it’s a V8-powered grand tourer, the Amalfi is for those who seek balance between adrenaline and everyday usability.
Drawing inspirations from the Ferrari Roma, the Amalfi takes on an even more sculpted and minimalist look. The surfaces are all about volume, creating a sculpted appearance. The lighting units are now integrated into a cut along the fenders, while the front is now devoid of a traditional grille. Instead, like the 12Cilindri and F80, there’s now a body-colored wing above a dark recessed band that integrates not just the headlights, but the various sensors as well. The same goes for the rear with a rear windshield that merges with the spoiler profile and taillights integrated into cuts as well. The launch color, Verde Costiera, is inspired by the reflections of the sea along the Amalfi coast.
Underneath the hood lies a twin-turbo 3.9-liter V8. For its services in the Amalfi, the output has been reworked to 640 horsepower at 7,500 rpm and 760 Nm of torque from 3,000 to 5,750 rpm. Redline has been raised to 7,600 rpm as well. The performance improvement is down to advanced turbocharging management, lightweight camshafts, and a redesigned engine block. It’s also the first Ferrari to use low-viscosity oil.
The eight-speed dual-clutch oil-bath transmission, first introduced with the SF90 Stradale, mates with the engine and has been further optimized with a more powerful control unit and deeper integration with the engine software.
Despite its grand touring nature, the Amalfi still does the century sprint in 3.3 seconds, while the 200 km/h is done in just 9 seconds.
And as typical of Ferrari, the Amalfi receives its own signature sound. The flat-plane crankshaft and equal-length exhaust headers contribute to a distinctive firing sequence, while the exhaust system—engineered to meet the toughest emissions regulations—has a new proportionally controlled bypass valve that can adapt the exhaust note to different driving conditions.
In terms of handling, the Amalfi is the latest Ferrari to take on brake-by-wire for reduced pedal travel and enhanced modulation even when the ABS is engaged. The steering is also made quicker and more accurate, while a rear active spoiler improves high speed stability and braking. This is on top of a perfect 50-50 front-to-rear weight distribution. The wheel and tire package—245/35R20s at the front and 285/35R20s at the back—has been carefully chosen to balance comfort with “progressive handling.”
Inside, the same dual cockpit layout remains. For the Amalfi, a “monolithic layout” with the instrument cluster and air vents made to look as one, has been adopted. The 15.6-inch instrument cluster is supplemented by a 10.25-inch capacitive touchscreen in the middle and a third 8.8-inch screen for the passenger. Meanwhile, the center tunnel is milled from a block of anodized aluminum and it houses the gear selector, key slot, wireless charging pad, and secondary controls. Finally, Ferrari has adopted physical buttons to the steering wheel.
Its just a Ferrari Roma with a different name and different front exterior design
