Ferrari Roma successor: This is the successor to the Ferrari Roma

The new Ferrari Amalfi was officially presented to the public in Amalfi on July 1, 2025. As the direct successor to the Ferrari Roma in the line-up of the brand with the Prancing Horse, this 2+ coupe with a front mid-engine is positioned as a redefinition of contemporary sportiness and the grand tourer concept. Ferrari emphasizes that the Amalfi is a perfect marriage of modern elegance and high performance, which makes it a unique vehicle in the Ferrari model range and in the entire market. The development philosophy aimed to create a car with the ability to combine extremely high performance with pronounced everyday practicality. The Amalfi therefore appeals to those customers who want to enjoy a sporty driving experience without having to compromise on comfort and style. At the heart of this approach is a 640 hp twin-turbo V8 , which has been optimized for power and immediate responsiveness in all driving conditions.
At the heart of the Ferrari Amalfi is an updated twin-turbo V8 engine from the F154 family , which has a displacement of 3855 cc . The unit produces 640 hp at 7,500 rpm and offers maximum torque of 760 Nm, available between 3,000 and 5,750 rpm . The maximum engine speed has been raised to 7,600 rpm , enabling a specific power output of 166 hp per liter . The increase in power was achieved through an advanced turbo management system that allows independent control of the speed of both turbochargers with special calibration, increasing the maximum turbo speed to up to 171,000 rpm . A new engine management unit, already used in models such as the 296 GTB, Ferrari Purosangue and Ferrari 12Cilindri, has also been integrated. Mass-reduction measures include lighter camshafts, resulting in a weight saving of 1.3 kg, and a redesigned engine block, which is approximately one kilogram lighter thanks to precision machining. For the first time in a Ferrari engine, a low-viscosity oil is introduced, reducing cold drag by 30 percent compared to the previous version and improving efficiency during warm-up. Immediate response is ensured by technical solutions such as a flat-plane crankshaft, compact, low-inertia turbines, twin-scroll technology, and equal-length exhaust manifolds, which contribute to progressive power delivery.
Power is transmitted via the eight-speed dual-clutch transmission (F1 DCT), first introduced in the SF90 Stradale and now further optimized with a more powerful control unit and deeper integration into the engine software for even smoother and faster gearshifts. Measures such as a dry-sump transmission configuration, a low-friction bevel gear, and intelligent clutch torque management strategies contribute to the efficiency of the powertrain. Particular attention was paid to the sound design: a new muffler layout was developed to meet current noise emission regulations without compromising the characteristic Ferrari sound. The flat-plane crankshaft and equal-length exhaust manifolds ensure a characteristic firing order and soundscape.
The performance of the Ferrari Amalfi, which has a dry weight of 1,470 kg (with optional lightweight equipment), is impressive: Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h takes 3.3 seconds , and from 0 to 200 km/h in 9.0 seconds . The resulting power-to-weight ratio is 2.29 kg/hp , which is considered best in its class. The top speed is 320 km/h . The Amalfi needs 30.8 meters to decelerate from 100 to 0 km/h, and 119.5 meters from 200 to 0 km/h.
The exterior design of the Ferrari Amalfi is the result of an evolution of Maranello's aesthetic standards. It is based on a sleek, monolithic "Speedform" with sculptural volumes and clean surfaces. The front end dispenses with a traditional grille and is instead defined by a floating, body-colored wing above a dark, recessed band that discreetly integrates sensors and headlights. A large air intake and a long, sculpted hood characterize the front end. At the rear, an integrated active spoiler contributes to high-speed stability. The taillights are integrated into essential graphic cuts, and the rear window blends with the spoiler profile. The wide, functional diffuser underscores the aerodynamic ambitions. The launch color, Verde Costiera , a brilliant teal-green shade, is inspired by the sea reflections on the Amalfi Coast and highlights the car's sculpted surfaces.
Inside, the Amalfi features a dual-cockpit layout that separates the driver and front passenger into two visually connected areas. The new steering wheel features physical buttons , and the iconic aluminum start button returns . The steering wheel controls are functionally distributed; for example, the ADAS controls, adaptive cruise control, phone, and voice commands are located on the left spoke, while the right side houses selectors for display views, windshield wipers, and indicators. The vehicle's human-machine interface (HMI) is built around three main displays : a 15.6-inch digital instrument cluster provides all driving-related information. In the center of the dashboard is a 10.25-inch capacitive horizontal touchscreen, which provides access to multimedia, radio, phone, screen mirroring, climate, seat, and vehicle settings. An 8.8-inch passenger display shows parameters such as G-forces and engine rpm, offering a true co-driving experience. Connectivity is ensured by Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard, as well as wireless smartphone charging. The MyFerrari Connect system also allows remote monitoring of the vehicle's status via a dedicated app. The 2+ configuration significantly increases the vehicle's practicality, as the rear seats can be used to expand cargo volume to 273 liters . The interior is characterized by premium materials such as carbon fiber and contrasting stitching. The dashboard features a monolithic layout, with the instrument cluster and air vents merging into a single block. The center tunnel, crafted from a single block of anodized aluminum, is floating and houses the gear selector, key fob, and a wireless charging pad. Comfort seats in three sizes with ten air chambers for a massage function and ventilation are available as options. The optional Burmester premium audio system with 14 speakers and 1,200 watts promises an immersive sound environment.
The aerodynamics of the Ferrari Amalfi are the result of close collaboration between the Thermo-Fluiddynamics department and the Ferrari Styling Centre. The underbody is equipped with aerodynamic fairings in front of the wheels to reduce drag. A bypass duct above the headlights connects the front end to the engine compartment to reduce pressure buildup and optimize cooling. Downforce generation at the front is supported by vortex generators and two diffusers integrated into the splitter, which also improve ventilation of the front brakes. A striking element at the rear is the active, mobile rear wing , harmoniously integrated into the car's lines. This can assume three configurations depending on speed and longitudinal and lateral acceleration: Low Drag (LD), Medium Downforce (MD), and High Downforce (HD). At 250 km/h, the rear wing in HD mode can generate an additional 110 kg of downforce, with an increase in drag of less than 4 percent. The rear section is complemented by a 20 mm high integrated nolder that recompresses the airflow in low-drag mode.
The driving dynamics of the Ferrari Amalfi benefit from the integration of the most advanced technologies. The brake-by-wire system improves braking efficiency, reduces pedal travel, and optimizes modulation even during ABS interventions. The ABS Evo system , based on a 6D sensor, has been adapted for all surfaces and Manettino modes and precisely estimates vehicle speed to determine the optimal slip distribution for each wheel, thus optimizing brake force distribution. This results in greater effectiveness during straight-line braking as well as in mixed conditions. The Side Slip Control (SSC) 6.1 framework serves as the common language for all dynamic controls. An advanced EPS-based (Electric Power Steering) grip estimation system is ten percent faster and more accurate, even on surfaces with very low traction. The Ferrari Amalfi is also equipped with a comprehensive suite of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), including adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, automatic high beams, and traffic sign recognition. Driver drowsiness and distraction detection are also available, and surround view and rear cross-traffic alert can be added as options.
The Amalfi rides on 20-inch wheels , with tires measuring 245/35 R20 at the front and 285/35 R20 at the rear. The tires were developed in collaboration with Bridgestone (Potenza Sport) and Pirelli (P ZERO) , with particular attention paid to a harmonious balance of aesthetics, performance, and comfort.
