Step aside, Roma. There’s a new Italian thoroughbred in town, and it’s named after one of the world’s most spellbinding coastlines. Meet the Ferrari Amalfi, an audacious blend of power, precision, and effortless elegance. This seductive 2+ coupé, fronted by a mid-mounted V8 and finished with carbon-fibre flair, redefines the art of everyday sportiness for the world’s most discerning drivers.
Named for the sun-soaked cliffside jewel of southern Italy, the Amalfi is not just a car, it is a masterclass in modern automotive haute couture. Sculpted like a Michelangelo statue and infused with Maranello muscle, the Amalfi offers the kind of thrill that stirs the soul, while delivering poise and practicality fit for a grand European escape.
A Drive Like No Other
Slide behind the wheel and you’re greeted by Ferrari’s iconic start button, now made from brushed aluminium. Press it and awaken the Amalfi’s evolved 640 cv twin-turbo V8 engine, the most sophisticated yet from Ferrari’s award-winning F154 family. It’s a powerplant born for theatre, launching from 0–100 km/h in just 3.3 seconds and reaching 200 km/h in nine. A new turbocharging management system and eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox deliver g-force surges with velvety finesse, while the car’s active aerodynamics and ‘ABS Evo’ controller ensure drama is always matched with control.
Where Beauty Meets Utility
Draped in Verde Costiera, a luminous teal that evokes the glimmer of Mediterranean coves, the Amalfi’s silhouette is pure sculpture. The rear spoiler integrates seamlessly, unfolding only when needed, while forged wheels, darkened air intakes, and minimalist light units create a visual symphony of speed and sophistication. And then there’s the rear: clean, taut, dramatic—the Amalfi’s calling card as it disappears into the horizon.
Inside, this Ferrari reveals a surprising practicality wrapped in the richest Italian craftsmanship. Its 2+ layout is designed not just for show, but for life: room for weekend bags, small children, or perhaps an impromptu road trip down the Côte d’Azur. The cabin is an architectural marvel, with a dual-cockpit design framed in carbon fibre, faceted aluminium, and hand-stitched Verde Bellagio leather. Even the woofers are artfully concealed behind perforated metal.
The Luxe Touches
Tech, of course, is as curated as the finest Milanese fashion house. Three digital screens—one for the driver, one shared in the centre, and one exclusively for the passenger—create a connected, co-pilot experience. Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto®, and wireless charging are standard, while a 1,200-watt Burmester® audio system transforms the cabin into a mobile concert hall. There are massage seats in three sizes, ambient lighting, and even a front lift system to elegantly glide over urban obstacles.
Innovation Under the Skin
The Amalfi’s driving dynamics are as refined as its styling. With brake-by-wire technology, grip estimation systems, and Side Slip Control 6.1, it dances on tarmac with ballet-like precision. It’s the kind of engineering that whispers confidence in hairpins and sings in sweeping bends. Meanwhile, a suite of advanced ADAS safety features—including lane-keeping, blind spot monitoring, and adaptive cruise control—provides serenity without sacrifice.
Effortless Ownership
Naturally, such a car comes with service to match. The 7-Year Genuine Maintenance Programme guarantees the Amalfi remains as immaculate and potent as the day it leaves the atelier in Maranello. Every detail, from diagnostics to parts, is handled by Ferrari’s finest, anywhere in the world.
The Verdict
The Ferrari Amalfi is more than the heir to the Roma, it is the future of the Italian GT. An elegant rebel that blends velocity with versatility, it is tailor-made for the global elite who demand performance without relinquishing poise or purpose. From Portofino to the Pacific Coast Highway, this is the car to be seen in, the car to be lived in, the car to be desired.
La dolce vita, redefined.
