Ferrari is killing off its iconic Roma, replacing it with a front-mid engine V8 2+ coupé that will wear the Amalfi nameplate. Designed for those who want to enjoy sporty driving without sacrificing comfort and style, the brand claims it boasts everyday usability.
The car’s 471kW turbocharged powerplant is married to an aero package that includes an integrated active spoiler, adding to high-speed stability, while forged wheels and carbon fibre details complete a sporty and sophisticated aesthetic.
Inside, the cabin adopts a dual-cockpit layout, with a new steering wheel featuring physical buttons and the return of the iconic start button. The integrated central display and ergonomic controls ensure intuitive interaction with the car, even during dynamic driving.
Extensive use of carbon fibre and contrasting stitching adds a touch of exclusivity, while the 2+ configuration allows the rear seats to be used to significantly increase the car’s practicality, enhancing cargo capacity and allowing trips with children.
An eight-speed dual-clutch transmission ensures fast and smooth gear changes. Performance is outstanding: 0–100km/h in 3.3 seconds, 0–200km/h in 9.0 seconds, with a power-to-weight ratio of 2.29 kg/hp, the best in its class.
Driving dynamics have been refined with the introduction of the brake-by-wire system, the ‘ABS Evo’ controller designed for all surfaces and conditions, and a recalibrated steering box for even more precise and progressive response.
The Ferrari Amalfi incorporates the latest technological solutions from the Ferrari range too, with the infotainment system offering Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard, paired with wireless smartphone charging.
The new steering wheel, digital instrument cluster, and 10.25-inch horizontal central display offers an advanced human-machine interface designed to engage both driver and passenger.
Among the features available on request is the addition of the front lifter system usable up to 35km/h, allowing the car to easily overcome urban obstacles by raising it by up to 40mm. An optional Burmester premium audio system can also be added.
In terms of safety and driver assistance, the Ferrari Amalfi is equipped with a comprehensive suite of next-generation ADAS systems, including adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking and blind spot detection.
Lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, automatic high beam, traffic sign recognition and assistance and driver drowsiness and distraction detection all feature, as well as optional surround view and rear cross traffic alert.
It will be offered with a 7-year maintenance program, and 3-year unlimited kilometre warranty. Australian pricing is yet to be announced. You can find out more from your local Ferrari dealership.
