All-New Ferrari Amalfi is a More Powerful Roma With Physical Buttons
Ferrari, which has promised to unveil six new models in 2025, is introducing the Amalfi, heir to the Roma. The design and proportions are very similar from one end to the other, making it look more like an update under a different name than an all-new product.
The main exterior change is the shark-nose front end with a black bar connecting the slim headlamps, reminiscent of the 12Cilindri. A prominent lip spoiler can be found below.

The tail looks even more identical, including the lights and exhaust tips.
Good news inside: Ferrari has abandoned many touch-based controls in favour of physical buttons on the steering wheel. Even the engine start-stop button is made of aluminum now. Many customers had complained, not just in the Roma but also in other models from the Italian manufacturer.
The dashboard has been redesigned and no longer blends into a huge, cascading centre console. The new layout is both more modern and simpler. The driver and front passenger each face a digital display. By the way, the Amalfi offers four seats, although the rear ones should only be used in a pinch.
A More Powerful V8
Under the long hood, engineers have increased the power of the twin-turbocharged 3.9-litre V8, which now produces 631 horsepower instead of 612. Maximum torque, however, remains at 561 lb-ft. The result is a 0-100 km/h time of 3.3 seconds, one tenth quicker than the Roma. Top speed, once again, is 320 km/h.
Ferrari brags about faster throttle response thanks to recalibrated and higher-revving turbochargers. The engine control unit is also improved, following the example of the aforementioned 12Cilindri.
The Amalfi borrows its new brake-by-wire system from the 12Cilindri and 296. There's also an active rear spoiler that deploys at high speed to enhance the car's stability. It provides 242 lbs of downforce at 250 km/h while increasing drag by less than 4 percent.
Deliveries of the Ferrari Amalfi are a mystery at this point. It's been previously reported that production slots are full through 2025 and 2026. For the moment, only the coupe has been unveiled, but you can bet an Amalfi Spider convertible will follow shortly. Naturally, prices will be higher than those of the Roma.
