New Ferrari Amalfi Bows As 631 HP Successor to The Roma

This is the new Ferrari Amalfi, and it stands as a successor to the utterly gorgeous Roma. Rosso Portofino paint pictured.

Renowned Maranello-rooted prancing horse marque - and recent Le Mans hat-trick winners - took the wraps of its latest entry-level creation. Standing in to succeed the utterly gorgeous Roma – as well as the Portofino – is the new Ferrari Amalfi.

Those familiar will know the name is inspired and derived from the picturesque coastal retreat that faces the Tyrrhenian Sea located on the western side of the Italian peninsular, not far south of Naples. IYKYK.

Whilst the underpinning are similar to the Roma, Ferrari claims almost every panel on the Amalfi has changed. Pictured above is the Amalfi in Verde Costiera shade.

Underneath, the new Amalfi shares the same underpinnings as the Roma, though Ferrari insists it is an ‘all-new’ model. The firm claims nearly every panel, bar the glasshouse, has changed, and the powertrain has been reworked extensively.

The latter sees the Roma-derived 3.9-litre V8 twin-turbo gaining 19 HP more to reach a whopping 631 HP total, though torque remains at 760 NM, as is the choice to send all of which to the rear wheels. Tasked with the latter is Ferrari’s 8-speed F1 DCT box.

The Roma's 4.0-litre V8 twin-turbo is carried over, albeit reworked extensively to deliver higher 631 HP and  unchanged 760 NM outputs.

Tipping the scale at 1,470 KG dry, the Amalfi despatches 0-100 KM/H sprints in 3.3 secs, making it 0.1 secs quicker than the Roma here. 0-200 KM/H, on the other hand, takes 0.6 secs quicker over the Roma too at 9.0 secs, whereas V-Max stands at 320 KM/H.

In short, pace and speed improvements are modest to say the least, but responsiveness has been enhanced tremendously. The latter stems from a new camshaft that’s now 1.3 KG lighter, and the adoption of a Bosch-supplied ECU derived from the 12Cilindri.

There are new ducts integrated into the headlights that sends ore air to the turbochargers without incurring drag.

Optimising the engine further too are new ducts that are integrated in the headlights. The special design of which sends more air to the turbochargers without incurring the penalty of high aerodynamic drag.

Despite possessing more power, the key focus of the Amalfi set by Ferrari centres on accessibility. The firm even touts the it at being one of Ferrari’s “most drivable” machines yet.

To meet this “accessible” brief noted, work was also done to make the Amalfi “more predictable”. Enabling this were new underbody lips plus a redesigned active rear wing that better manages airflow and downforce.

Notable too is the computer-controlled brake-by-wire setup that replaces a traditional mechanical braking setup used prior. In turn, this new system is designed to translate pedal pressure into appropriate braking force.

Reworked active rear wing works in tandem with new underbody lips to better manage airflow and downforce.

Visually, the Amalfi does sport slight resemblance to the Roma, though the latter’s sleek front end and grille have been replaced with a new design mirroring what’s seen in the larger – and lifted – Purosangue.

On board, the cabin sees a new centre console design that Ferrari calls the interior “bridge”. This is milled from a single solid block of aluminium, hence its rather exquisite look.

Trio of digital displays are new, as is the centre console that's exquisitely milled from a single block of aluminium.

New here too are the displays, which consists of a 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen, 15.6-inch digital dash, and 8.8-inch passenger display. One of the biggest changes on board is the return of physical steering wheel controls – a popular request by customers.

Regarding availability, Ferrari is poised to start deliveries in left-hand-drive (LHD) markets from early next year (2026). Sales in right-hand-drive (RHD) markets are set to follow suit shortly after.

As for price, the prancing horse marque’s latest ‘baby’ coupe commands a base starting price tag of €240,000 (approx. RM1,188,552) in Italy.
