Ferrari Reveals the New Amalfi, Successor to the Roma

Ferrari has announced a new model called the Amalfi, which will replace the current Roma sports car. The Amalfi is more than just a slight update; it brings noticeable changes to both its look and its inner workings, giving it more power and better performance than ever before.

The new design starts at the front, where the most visible change is that Amalfi drops the body-colored grille seen on the Roma. Instead, it features sleeker headlights connected by a thin grille. The front bumper also looks cleaner, with a wide air intake and a more noticeable spoiler at the bottom. The hood has also been redesigned to look smoother.

From the side, the Amalfi keeps the long hood, sloping roofline, and strong rear shape of the Roma. The most significant changes are at the back. The Amalfi gains a new active rear spoiler on the trunk, taillights that are set a bit lower and look like slits, and a cleaner rear bumper. Four exhaust pipes and a diffuser at the base of the bumper emphasize the car’s sporty nature.

Inside the car, the Amalfi’s cabin also gets many important updates. A major change is that Ferrari has removed the high, floating center console and its tall touchscreen. Now, a wider touchscreen sits lower down. The dashboard still has a “twin-cockpit” design, meaning it’s shaped to give both the driver and passenger their own separate spaces.

The driver gets a large digital screen for instruments, and most controls are on the steering wheel. A key change to the steering wheel is that the Amalfi now uses physical buttons for things like audio, phone, and starting the car, unlike the touch-sensitive controls on the Roma. The passenger also gets their own air vents and the option of a separate screen for entertainment.

Under the hood, the Amalfi keeps the twin-turbo V8 engine, but it has been improved. It now produces 631 hp and 760 Nm of torque, which is more than the Roma’s 620 hp. These power gains come from changes to the turbochargers, a lighter crankshaft, and a redesigned engine block, which also helps reduce the car’s weight.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox. Ferrari states the Amalfi can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.3 seconds and reach 200 km/h in 9 seconds, making it faster than the Roma. Ferrari also mentions that the Amalfi has improved steering, a new electronic braking system, and a new ABS control unit for sharper handling.

The Ferrari Amalfi is expected to go on sale starting in 2026. It’s also possible that a convertible version will be released later, which would replace the current Roma Spider.
