- The new Ferrari Amalfi coupé is fitted with a front-mid-mounted twin-turbo V8 engine producing 631 bhp
- It goes from 0 to 100km/h in 3.3 seconds and 561 ft lbs and boasts a top speed of 322km/h
- The newcomer replaces the outgoing Ferrari Roma, which was launched in 2020, with a convertible Spider version released in 2023
Released in 2020 as a competitor to the Porsche 911, the 2+ coupé Ferrari Roma was a hit overall, with the only detraction being its somewhat controversial front grille. Enter: the Ferrari Amalfi.
Acting as a successor to the Roma, the Ferrari Amalfi does away with the grille, opting for a more streamlined front end courtesy of a large front air intake and a restyled headlight design. The rear end also takes on a minimalist aesthetic, tucked under the integrated spoiler and complemented by forged carbon fibre details.
While the exterior gets pared back, the interior is bolstered by the reintroduction of physical buttons onto the steering — a major win for the majority irked by the overly fussy haptic buttons. The cabin adopts a dual-cockpit layout, with a milled and anodised aluminium centre console creating a formal separation between driver and passenger and housing key functions such as the gear selector, key slot, wireless charging pad, and secondary controls. The dashboard functions are housed within a monolithic block, with the instrument panel and air intake vents also fused within this. Notably, the central screen has been adjusted from portrait to landscape, improving visibility and user experience.
Under the hood of the Ferrari Amalfi is the same 3.9L twin-turbo V8, but it now churns out 631 bhp (up from 611 bhp) and darts from 0 to 100km/h in 3.3 seconds with a top speed of 322km/h. Extensive tuning also sees performance upgrades in terms of throttle response and transmission smoothness.
The Ferrari Amalfi will be priced from $275,000USD, with Australian pricing and delivery dates yet to be announced.
