Ferrari has officially pulled the covers off its latest grand tourer, the Ferrari Amalfi, and it’s nothing short of breathtaking. Replacing the elegant Ferrari Roma, the Amalfi carries forward the GT lineage with added aggression, more power, and modernized Italian flair. Aesthetically striking and mechanically evolved, this car redefines what a front-engined V8 Ferrari can be in the new era.
At a time when hybridization and electrification dominate automotive headlines, Ferrari has stuck to its roots with the Amalfi by continuing to offer a pure twin-turbocharged V8, delivering visceral performance wrapped in a timeless silhouette.
Let’s explore what makes the Ferrari Amalfi a standout evolution in Maranello’s grand touring philosophy.
🛠️ Engine and Performance: A V8 With a Soul
At the heart of the Amalfi lies Ferrari’s iconic 3.9-liter twin-turbocharged V8, the same engine that has powered a range of Ferrari masterpieces, from the 488 to the Roma.
But in the Amalfi, it’s tuned for a fresh experience:
- Power Output: 640 hp (at 7,500 rpm)
- Torque: 760 Nm (between 3,000–5,750 rpm)
- 0–100 km/h: 3.3 seconds
- Top Speed: Over 320 km/h
Paired with Ferrari’s 8-speed dual-clutch transmission, the Amalfi offers quick, razor-sharp shifts whether cruising or attacking twisty mountain roads.
In true Ferrari fashion, the engine delivers not just raw speed but also a thrilling exhaust note, carefully engineered to provide spine-tingling acoustics at every rpm.
🎯 A New Platform with Optimized Dynamics
The Amalfi is built on Ferrari’s next-generation modular platform, offering improved rigidity and weight distribution. It incorporates active aerodynamics, rear-wheel steering, and Ferrari Dynamic Enhancer (FDE+), allowing it to balance luxury cruising with track-capable behavior.
Key Driving Technologies:
- Side Slip Control 7.0 (SSC 7.0)
- Magnetorheological suspension for adaptable ride comfort
- Launch Control and Torque Vectoring
- Weight: ~1,570 kg dry, lighter than most GT rivals
Despite being a grand tourer, the Amalfi promises razor-sharp responsiveness, making it more agile and balanced than the outgoing Roma.
✨ Design: Elegance Meets Athleticism
Design has always been Ferrari’s strength, and the Amalfi delivers with a body sculpted like a work of art. Designed under the direction of Flavio Manzoni, the new model merges heritage and modernity with flawless precision.
Exterior Highlights:
- Long bonnet with classic GT proportions
- Slim matrix LED headlights with DRL integration
- Redesigned grille with active flaps
- Sweeping fastback rear with retractable spoiler
- Quad tailpipe setup, inspired by classic Ferraris
Compared to the Roma, the Amalfi feels bolder, more muscular, yet retains the romantic, flowing lines that define Italian grand tourers.
🛋️ Interior: A Driver-Centric Cockpit Wrapped in Italian Luxury
Inside, the Amalfi features a completely redesigned cabin, blending high-end materials with cutting-edge tech. The cockpit uses Ferrari’s dual-cockpit architecture, giving both the driver and passenger their own immersive spaces.
Cabin Features:
- 12.3-inch digital driver display
- 8.4-inch vertical central touchscreen
- Optional passenger display for infotainment and performance data
- Carbon fiber accents blended with leather and Alcantara
- Manually adjustable H-gate inspired drive mode selectors
- Optional neck-warming system for open-top driving (expected in Spider version)
Ferrari offers multiple customization options via Tailor Made, allowing owners to personalize the car down to stitching, trim, and carbon patterns.
🔊 Infotainment & Connectivity
Ferrari knows that even performance-focused GT buyers expect modern tech. The Amalfi comes equipped with:
- Wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto
- Built-in navigation with real-time traffic updates
- Over-the-air software updates
- Voice command integration
- Multiple USB-C ports & wireless charging
Unlike previous Ferraris, the infotainment system is far more refined and intuitive, making it suitable for daily use and long road trips.
🛡️ Safety and Driver Assistance
While Ferraris aren’t typically associated with ADAS, the Amalfi includes several modern driver aids:
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Blind Spot Monitoring
- Lane Keep Assist
- Traffic Sign Recognition
- Emergency Braking Assistance
- Rear Parking Sensors with 360-degree Camera
These features add convenience for everyday use, especially for a car that’s as happy in Monaco traffic as it is on the Autobahn.

🌍 Global and India Launch Timeline
Ferrari is expected to begin deliveries of the Amalfi by the end of 2025 in global markets. Indian allocation will likely begin early 2026, with bookings through Ferrari’s authorized dealers in Delhi, Mumbai, and Hyderabad.
The Amalfi will be available in limited numbers, and a Spider version is expected to follow soon.
🔮 Future Outlook
The Amalfi marks a turning point for Ferrari’s GT series. While hybrid V6s and electric models are the future, the brand knows the value of its pure V8 power legacy. The Amalfi is likely the last all-V8 GT before Ferrari transitions to electrified GT cars.
In that sense, this car is not just a model—it’s a celebration of raw mechanical excellence, the kind Ferrari has mastered for decades.
🏁 Final Thoughts
The Ferrari Amalfi is everything a grand tourer should be—and more. It’s elegant yet aggressive, comfortable yet powerful, and modern without losing its soul. With 640hp of pure V8 magic under the hood, it’s not just a car—it’s a declaration that Ferrari still builds dream machines for drivers who crave emotion, beauty, and performance in equal measure.
If the Roma was a romance, the Amalfi is a thunderstorm of passion, precision, and power.
