2026 Ferrari Amalfi Unveiled: Striking New Design, Enhanced V8 Power, and Cutting-Edge Technology

Ferrari has officially launched its much-anticipated 2026 Ferrari Amalfi, marking a new era for the Italian marque’s front-engined GT lineup. Stepping in as the successor to the highly acclaimed Roma, the Amalfi blends classic Ferrari performance, updated styling, and innovative technology, creating a luxurious grand tourer that’s bound to delight passionate car enthusiasts and collectors alike.

Redefined Exterior Design: Sleeker, Sharper, and Instantly Recognizable

The new Ferrari Amalfi stays true to the core design language that made the Roma a fan favorite, retaining its seductive proportions and aggressive stance. With prominent rear haunches, a sleek nose, and deeply sculpted hood lines, the Amalfi exudes elegance and athleticism. Notably, it introduces a new "sharknose" front fascia for 2026, aligning it with other modern Ferrari models such as the SF90 Stradale and 12Cilindri. A bold black bar connects the elegantly slim LED headlights, accentuating the car’s width and low-slung profile.

Around the rear, the Amalfi features four distinct taillight pods, now linked by a subtle black trim, delivering a modern yet unmistakably Ferrari look. Every detail has been refined for aerodynamic efficiency and unmistakable Italian style.

Luxurious and User-Friendly Interior Upgrades

Step inside, and you’ll instantly notice Ferrari’s commitment to driver-centric luxury. One of the most significant improvements is the replacement of the much-criticized touch-sensitive controls on the steering wheel with tactile, physical buttons—restoring an engaging, intuitive driving experience. The start button is now a tangible titanium switch mounted conveniently to the left, reinforcing the brand’s dedication to precision craftsmanship and customer feedback.

The latest infotainment system and digital displays provide seamless connectivity while high-quality materials like premium leather and carbon fiber define the refined, ergonomic cabin layout. The Amalfi remains a true four-seater, making it both thrilling and practical for longer journeys.

Performance: More Power from the Legendary Twin-Turbo V8

Enthusiasts will rejoice—the heart of the Ferrari Amalfi is the iconic 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine, now upgraded to deliver an impressive 631 horsepower, a 19-hp increase over the outgoing Roma. Peak torque remains robust at 561 pound-feet, ensuring exhilarating acceleration and potent mid-range response. Power is sent to the rear wheels via an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, launching the Amalfi from 0 to 62 mph in a blistering 3.3 seconds, and pushing on to a top speed of 198 mph.

Ferrari achieved this performance boost by employing lighter camshafts, a precision-machined engine block, advanced low-viscosity oil, and intricate turbocharger recalibrations. The sophisticated turbo management system independently controls each turbo’s speed—now peaking at 171,000 rpm—with dedicated pressure sensors for each cylinder bank. These enhancements sharpen throttle response and boost pressure regulation, while the adaptive engine control unit, borrowed from the 296 GTB, Purosangue, and 12Cilindri, lets the V8 operate at its maximum potential.

Advanced Chassis and Driving Dynamics

The 2026 Ferrari Amalfi comes loaded with innovative chassis technology. Its new brake-by-wire system—sourced from the 296 GTB and 12Cilindri—provides precise, consistent pedal feel. An active rear spoiler automatically adjusts to increase stability at speed, generating up to 242 pounds of downforce at 155 mph with only a minimal increase in drag.

Ferrari's Side Slip Control 6.1 software acts as an integrated performance manager, seamlessly harmonizing input from steering, suspension, and chassis dynamics to maximize both grip and agility, regardless of driving conditions.

Adding to the sense of security, the Amalfi comes standard with an impressive suite of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), including adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, and lane-keep assist—making it as safe as it is exhilarating.

Market Positioning and Pricing Expectations

As the direct replacement for the Roma, the Amalfi assumes Ferrari’s role as a world-class luxury grand tourer, competing against the likes of the Aston Martin DB12, Bentley Continental GT, and Porsche 911 Turbo S. While the exact delivery date has yet to be announced, production is expected to start before the year’s end. And for open-air enthusiasts—a convertible "Amalfi Spider" is rumored to be in the pipeline, following Ferrari’s trademark registration.

Pricing is set to rise steeply compared to the outgoing Roma, which started at $247,308 when production ended in 2024. Factoring in inflation and global tariffs, expect the new 2026 Ferrari Amalfi to start closer to $300,000, placing it firmly in the premium grand touring segment.

Conclusion: A Worthy Successor for the Ferrari Roma

With its bold new look, increased power, and advanced technology, the 2026 Ferrari Amalfi more than lives up to its iconic lineage. Whether you value breath-taking performance, daily comfort, or stunning design, the Amalfi delivers a truly unforgettable driving experience—pushing the boundaries of what a front-engined Ferrari grand tourer can achieve. Stay tuned for more updates as the Amalfi prepares to hit roads worldwide.
