Ferrari’s new front-engined GT doesn’t scream for attention—it earns it. The Amalfi is elegant, purposeful, and quietly faster than it looks.
2026 Ferrari Amalfi, the latest front-engine grand tourer slips into the lineup with the kind of understated elegance usually reserved for classics already hanging in galleries. At first glance, it feels like a familiar shape, but as you spend a few moments, and the details start to speak.
The Amalfi replaces the Roma but avoids the usual sports car clichés. If the Roma was Ferrari’s flirtation with La Nuova Dolce Vita, the Amalfi is the deeper conversation that follows.
A Sleeker Face, A Sharper Purpose
Visually, the Amalfi stays close to the silhouette of the Roma, but that’s where the similarity ends, it has traded some of its soft curves for sharper creases and more technical detailing. Where the Roma looks more elegant with its smooth curvaceous lines, the Amalfi feels a bit more sculpted—cleaner, yes, but also more assertive. The new front fascia, inspired by cars like the Daytona SP3 and 296 GTB, helps bring it in line with Ferrari’s modern design language.
Subtle aerodynamic tweaks like reworked vortex generators, a smoother underbody, and even aero-optimized wheels are to support the aerodynamics of the car.
The biggest visual change is at the rear. Gone is the Roma’s retractable spoiler, replaced by a more sophisticated active unit that responds in real time. It adjusts in three stages, offering up to 240 pounds of downforce at 155 mph with minimal drag penalty. The rear end also benefits from wider, cleaner surfacing and new lighting elements, in Roma the rear lights are bit exposed making it look more curvaceous but Amalfi they are tucked in giving it a streamlined view at the back.
A Cabin That Listens to Its Driver
Inside, the Amalfi feels like a direct response to Ferrari owners who loved physical controls. The touch-sensitive steering wheel from the Roma is mostly gone. Replaced by real buttons, satisfying switches, and an engine start button that’s now made of a solid piece of anodized aluminum.
Ferrari’s signature dual-cockpit layout remains, but it’s been modernized. A new 10.25-inch landscape touchscreen replaces the Roma’s portrait display, flanked by a 15.6-inch digital cluster and a matching 8.8-inch passenger screen. The graphics are cleaner, the transitions quicker, and thankfully, the tech doesn’t overtake the driving experience. Wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a 14-speaker Burmester system round out the comfort side.
And yes, it’s still a 2+ coupe. The rear seats aren’t adult-friendly, but you could toss a small bag—or a very flexible friend—back there in a pinch. The trunk? Roomy enough for a couple of carry-ons or a set of golf clubs.
The V8 Lives—and It’s Better Than Ever
Beneath the hood, the Amalfi carries over Ferrari’s 3.9-liter twin-turbocharged V8 that makes 631 horsepower (up from 612) and 561 lb-ft of torque.
Amalfi shaved nearly three pounds off the camshafts, got an updated oil system for quieter cold starts and improved thermal efficiency.
It hits a claimed 0–62 mph in just 3.3 seconds and maxes out at 198 mph. A new exhaust with proportional valves and a flatter, more linear torque curve makes the V8 feel eager and vocal in a way that electric motors just can’t replicate.
Driving Dynamics: Brake-by-Wire, Real Benefits
The chassis sees major improvements, too. The Brake-by-Wire system, first used on the 296 GTB, replaces the traditional hydraulic setup and now pairs with carbon ceramic rotors. Braking distances improve dramatically: Ferrari claims 62–0 mph in just 98 feet, while high-speed stops from 124 mph take less than 394 feet—over 30 feet shorter than the Roma.
Ferrari’s Side Slip Control 6.1 manages torque vectoring, grip detection, and steering feel in the background.
Ferrari Amalfi vs. Its Rivals
If you are someone whose planning to buy a supercar and is not so leaned towards the brute force only, Amalfi might be your choice. It’s not the most powerful GT in its class, but it’s precise. its powerful enough to give you the thrill that is incomparable to any car you have driven till now, and restraint enough to not hurt your neck, back or ears a single, cohesive package.
Price, Availability, and the Real Point
Ferrari says deliveries will begin in early 2026, with prices starting at €240,000 in Italy. That’s roughly $280,000 U.S., but once you dip into Ferrari’s personalization catalog, you’re looking at a $300K+ grand tourer.
