The Gulf of Salerno has a new icon. Ferrari has officially pulled the wraps off the 2027 Ferrari Amalfi, the highly anticipated successor to the Roma. Named after Italy’s most spellbinding coastline, the Amalfi isn’t just a mid-cycle refresh—it’s a major evolution that brings more power, sharper tech, and, most importantly, the return of physical controls to the Prancing Horse lineup.
While Ferrari’s mid-engine supercars like the 296 GTB chase lap times, the Amalfi is built for the “La Dolce Vita” lifestyle. It is the ultimate coastline cruiser, designed to balance raw Modenese speed with the refined comfort required for a weekend trip from Minori to Positano.
Performance: 631 HP of Pure V-8 Symphony
Under the Amalfi’s long, sculpted hood sits an evolved version of the award-winning 3.9-liter twin-turbocharged V-8 (F154 family). Thanks to new turbocharger management tech and a recalibrated ECU, the Amalfi produces 631 horsepower—a 19-hp bump over the outgoing Roma.
Quick Specs: 2027 Ferrari Amalfi
-
Engine: 3.9L Twin-Turbo V-8
-
Output: 631 hp @ 7500 rpm / 560 lb-ft torque
-
Transmission: 8-speed Dual-Clutch (from the SF90 Stradale)
-
0–60 MPH: 3.0 seconds (est.)

The power is sent to the rear wheels via a lightning-fast eight-speed dual-clutch transmission, while a new active rear wing—integrated seamlessly into the tail—automatically adjusts through three configurations to manage drag and downforce.
Chassis Tech: Trickle-Down Innovation
Ferrari has leveraged technology from its high-performance track weapons to make the Amalfi more precise without sacrificing its GT plushness.
-
Brake-by-Wire & ABS Evo: Borrowed from the 296 GTB, this system significantly reduces pedal travel and improves stopping distances.
-
Side Slip Control (SSC): The latest iteration of Ferrari’s drift-friendly software works with the E-Diff to make 631 hp feel manageable even for first-time owners.
-
Versatile Dampers: The semi-active suspension has been retuned to offer a wider gap between “Comfort” and “Race” modes, ensuring the car remains composed on the rough, winding pavement of coastal roads.
Interior: The Return of the Button
The biggest news for Ferrari purists is inside the cabin. In a direct response to customer feedback regarding the Roma’s haptic-heavy interface, the Amalfi brings back physical controls.
The steering wheel now features tactile buttons and the iconic red metal Start/Stop button, replacing the touch-sensitive pads that frustrated some owners. The cockpit has been completely redesigned with a “dual-cowl” layout that cocoons both the driver and passenger.
Infotainment & Cabin Highlights:
-
Driver Display: A massive 16.0-inch curved digital gauge cluster.
-
Central Screen: A new 10.3-inch horizontal widescreen panel (replacing the Roma’s vertical unit).
-
Passenger Screen: An 8.8-inch dedicated display for G-force, RPM, and navigation.
- Audio: 14-speaker Burmester Premium Audio System.
Pricing and Market Position
Starting at $266,810, the Amalfi remains the “entry point” into the Ferrari world, though its performance suggests otherwise. In the luxury GT segment, it faces stiff competition from the Aston Martin Vanquish and the Bentley Continental GT.
