Ferrari Launches Amalfi Coupe with 631 hp V8, Replaces Roma as New Entry-Level Model

Ferrari has officially taken the wraps off the Amalfi, a brand-new 2+2 front-engine grand tourer that replaces the Roma in its entry-level segment. Unveiled on Tuesday, the Amalfi blends classic Ferrari elegance with upgraded performance and cutting-edge technology, aimed at delivering both luxury and thrill.

Positioned between the recently launched 296 Speciale hybrid and Ferrari’s upcoming all-electric model set to debut in October 2025, the Amalfi marks a strategic step in Ferrari’s evolving product portfolio.

Powertrain: More Punch from an Upgraded V8

Under the hood, the Ferrari Amalfi is powered by a 3.9-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine. This revised motor produces 631 hp and 760 Nm of torque, mated to a lightning-fast 8-speed dual-clutch transmission.

Ferrari claims the Amalfi can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.3 seconds, with a top speed of 320 km/h. New camshaft profiles and faster-spooling turbochargers make it more responsive than the Roma, offering a refined yet exhilarating drive.

Exterior Design: Evolution of the Roma

While the Amalfi retains similar dimensions to the Roma—4,660 mm long, 1,974 mm wide, and 1,301 mm tall—its design is sharper and more futuristic. The front end sports a shark-nose grille inspired by the SF90, with a body-coloured wing and cleverly integrated sensors for a minimalist look.

The rear profile features quad exhaust outlets, a wide aerodynamic diffuser, and four hidden tail lights—all finished in a signature Verde Costiera teal for the reveal.

Advanced Aerodynamics: Form Meets Function

One of the highlights of the Amalfi is its active rear spoiler, which adjusts in real time to optimize downforce:

• Low Drag Mode for efficiency

• Medium Downforce for daily drives

• High Downforce for spirited driving

At 155 mph (approx. 250 km/h), the spoiler can generate up to 110 kg of downforce. Functional ducts within the LED headlights help reduce drag and cool the engine, while a brake-by-wire system improves stopping distances by 10% over its predecessor.

Interior: Luxury Meets Innovation

Inside, the Amalfi features a dual-cockpit layout with a monolithic dashboard design. The display and air vents are integrated seamlessly for a futuristic aesthetic. The central tunnel is crafted from anodised aluminium and houses the gear selector, drive mode buttons, and a wireless phone charger.

Highlights include:

• Heated and ventilated comfort seats with optional massage function

• Optional Burmester 14-speaker audio system with 1,200W output

• Ambient lighting and premium trim finishes throughout the cabin

Safety and Driver Assistance Features

The Ferrari Amalfi includes an array of modern driver assistance systems, such as:

• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)

• Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB)

• Lane Departure Warning

• Blind Spot Detection

• Driver Drowsiness Detection

Optional extras include a Surround View Camera, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and a front lifter system that raises the nose by 40 mm—usable at speeds up to 35 km/h to help navigate speed bumps or steep driveways.

Pricing and Global Availability

The Ferrari Amalfi starts at €240,000 (approx. $281,000) in Europe, where bookings are now open. Deliveries will begin in Q1 2026. The U.S. market will follow in mid to late 2026, albeit at a higher price due to import tariffs.

While the Roma coupe is being phased out, the Roma Spider (convertible) will remain in production for now, giving customers a broader choice within Ferrari’s grand touring segment.

Final Thoughts: A New Era for Ferrari's GT Lineup

The Ferrari Amalfi blends tradition and innovation, serving as a worthy successor to the Roma. With bold styling, powerful V8 performance, active aerodynamics, and a luxurious, tech-filled cabin, it redefines what an entry-level Ferrari can be in 2025.
