Ferrari Amalfi (2026) revealed: New face, same great V8

As promised, Ferrari unveiled the latest addition to its model range on Tuesday afternoon. The Amalfi is a four-seat, front-engine coupe that replaces the outgoing Roma and actually borrows quite a bit of its design. However, we see a new front end and—thankfully—a significantly revised interior. The twin-turbo V8 remains, but receives a moderate power increase.
In terms of proportions, the Amalfi appears to be an exact replica of the Roma Coupé - with the strongly accentuated rear fenders, the pointed nose and the hood, whose power dome appears to have been slightly softened.
The shark nose, familiar from the SF90 and the 12-cylinder , has now also found its way onto the Amalfi. The black bar, recently so popular at Ferrari, connects the slim headlights. At the rear, we still see four separate taillight units, but these are now also connected by a black bar.

Externally, the modifications are relatively modest, but the interior is significantly more sophisticated. Ferrari has clearly listened to the press and, above all, its customers and replaced the frustratingly difficult-to-use capacitive buttons on the steering wheel with real, physical controls. Even better: The capacitive start button has been replaced with a real button, made of titanium, located on the left side of the steering wheel.
Ferrari's renowned 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 continues to power under the hood, now producing 640 hp (+20 hp). Maximum torque remains unchanged at 740 Nm. Power is transferred to the rear wheels via an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission. The result is a 0-100 km/h time of 3.3 seconds, 0-200 km/h in 9.0 seconds, and a top speed of 318 km/h.
The additional power results from lighter camshafts, a more precisely machined engine block, a lower viscosity oil and changes to the turbocharger calibration, says Ferrari.
Here is a more detailed explanation directly from the source:
"The increase in power was achieved through an advanced turbocharger management system that allows independent control of the speed of the two turbochargers with special calibration and increases the maximum turbo speed to up to 171,000 rpm. This approach improves throttle response and pressure control precision, thanks in part to the introduction of dedicated pressure sensors for each cylinder bank. The new engine control unit, already used in models such as the 296 GTB, the Ferrari Purosangue, and the Ferrari 12Cilindri, has made it possible to exploit the engine's full potential."
The Amalfi also features a lot of new technology, such as the new brake-by-wire system, which was adopted from the 296 and the 12-cylinder. At the rear, there's an active spoiler with three positions that generates up to 110 kg of downforce (at 250 km/h) while increasing drag by less than 4 percent.
The Amalfi also uses Ferrari's Side Slip Control 6.1, which acts as the central control system for all driving dynamics parameters. You probably know this magical system as a drift aid that turns even the most clubfooted drivers into heroic sideways drivers. In Wet and Comfort modes, the car is somewhat relaxed compared to the Roma, while Sport and Race now give the driver even more power.
The assistance systems include adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning and lane keeping assist.

The first Amalfis will roll out to customers in early 2026. Customers will have paid around €260,000 for them (probably significantly more with extras). If you prefer a convertible, it's probably only a matter of time. Ferrari trademarked the Amalfi Spider name last year.
