02 Jul Ferrari Amalfi Debuts: 631-HP V8 GT Replaces Roma for 2026

Ferrari Unveils the Amalfi: A Grand Tourer Reimagined for the Next Era

The Roma was never meant to be a throne-bearer in Ferrari’s lineup, yet it carved out a loyal following — praised for its understated elegance, everyday usability, and soulful performance. Now, that chapter gracefully closes as Ferrari introduces its direct successor: the Ferrari Amalfi, a next-generation grand tourer that blends sophistication, speed, and technological finesse in classic Italian fashion.

Under the sculpted hood lies a 3.9-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine pushing out 631 horsepower, mated to Ferrari’s renowned eight-speed dual-clutch transmission. The numbers don’t disappoint — 0 to 62 mph in 3.3 seconds, and a top speed just shy of the double-century mark at 199 mph. Yet this isn’t just a car built for straight-line thrills. It’s engineered to envelop the driver in poise and precision, whether carving coastal roads or cruising through the hills of Tuscany.

Visually, the Amalfi doesn’t stray far from the Roma’s design DNA — but it evolves it. The front fascia now wears a bolder, more assertive air intake. In the rear, an integrated active spoiler subtly rises to enhance downforce, while 20-inch forged wheels lend a sharpened stance. The overall form retains its fastback silhouette, long bonnet, and sensual curves — an homage to classic Ferrari GTs, now draped in futuristic purpose.

Beneath the surface, Ferrari has recalibrated its driver experience from the ground up. A brake-by-wire system, revised ABS Evo controller, and a re-engineered steering box combine to deliver more intuitive feedback and balance across every road surface. This is a car tuned not just for speed, but for the tactile joy of driving.

Inside, the Amalfi’s cabin is tailored for both intimacy and versatility. A 2+2 layout offers unexpected usability, while the driver-focused cockpit is anchored by three digital displays delivering everything from performance telemetry to navigation and infotainment. For those who demand acoustics to match acceleration, an optional Burmester premium audio system adds high-fidelity luxury to the mix.

Slated to arrive at dealerships in 2026, the Ferrari Amalfi is more than a replacement. It’s a refined reinvention — a modern GT that embraces analog romance with digital elegance, and invites a new generation of Ferrari drivers to experience la dolce vita, with velocity.
