Ferrari Amalfi Gets Bold New Design & More Power

A New Ferrari That’s Sleeker and Smarter

Ferrari has revealed its latest grand tourer: the 2026 Ferrari Amalfi, a car built for luxury and speed. It replaces the Roma coupe and starts at an estimated price of $300,000, which is higher than Roma’s $247,308 price tag in 2024.

But this increase brings more than just style. The Amalfi delivers upgrades where they matter — power, design, and comfort.

Familiar Looks, But Sharper

At first glance, the Amalfi looks a lot like the Roma. It has that same long hood and sporty shape. But Ferrari has changed the front. The new “sharknose” design gives it a modern and bold look, matching Ferrari’s newer models like the SF90.

A thin black strip connects the sleek LED headlights. At the rear, you’ll still see the four round taillights. However, a new black trim piece now joins the inner lights, giving the car a wider, meaner stance.

Real Buttons, Real Feedback

The biggest surprise is inside. Ferrari has finally brought back real buttons instead of confusing touch controls. Even the engine start button is now physical and made from titanium. It’s on the left side of the wheel — classic and clean.

This change shows Ferrari listens to feedback. It also makes the Amalfi easier to use, especially when driving fast.

Power That You Can Feel

The Amalfi runs on the same 3.8-liter twin-turbo V-8 as before, but now it’s even stronger. It produces 631 horsepower, which is 19 more than the Roma. Torque stays at 561 pound-feet.

This power moves through an eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox. Ferrari says the car can go from 0 to 62 mph in just 3.3 seconds, with a top speed of 198 mph.

So, how did Ferrari get that extra power? It used lighter camshafts, a better engine block, and smarter turbo controls. The turbochargers can now spin up to 171,000 rpm, which means quicker response and smoother boosts.

More Control, More Grip

Ferrari has added the Side Slip Control 6.1 software. This system reads data from the steering, suspension, and even how the car moves sideways. Then it adjusts things in real time to keep you in control.

There’s also a brake-by-wire system borrowed from the 296 GTB. This setup gives quicker and more precise braking. It feels sharper and reacts faster than traditional brakes.

And yes, there’s an active spoiler at the back. It lifts at high speeds to keep the car stable. In its most aggressive setting, it creates 242 pounds of downforce at 155 mph, but adds only a small amount of drag.

A Ferrari for Every Season?

Though Ferrari hasn’t given a date yet, the Amalfi should reach customers by the end of 2025. And if you’re hoping for a convertible version, keep an eye out. Ferrari has already trademarked the Amalfi Spider, which means a drop-top could be coming soon.
