Ferrari has revealed the new Amalfi as a successor to the Roma, the Italian brand's most affordable grand tourer. Compared to its predecessor, the Amalfi boasts improvements in performance and aerodynamics. The underpinnings continue to be shared with the Roma.

When asked by our sister publication Autocar UK about the name, Ferrari's Enrico Galliera explained, "When you buy a painting, the name should be new." The name Amalfi draws inspiration from a scenic stretch of coastline in southern Italy.

Ferrari Amalfi engine, performance

Amalfi's 3.9-litre twin-turbo V8 is tuned to make more power than the Roma.

Coming to the heart of the matter, the Amalfi retains the Roma's 3.9-litre twin-turbo V8 engine wed to an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Per Ferrari, the front-mid-mounted petrol block has been reworked to now make 640hp; 20hp more than the Roma, while 760Nm peak torque is the same. Even the V8's responsiveness, especially in higher gears, is increased due to a 1.3 kg lighter camshaft, allowing for higher engine revs. Additionally, the new Ferrari has also been fitted with a performance-optimising ECU as the 12Cilindri. All that engineering has transpired in a 0.1 second quicker 0-100kph time of 3.3 seconds, while the 0-200kph time of 9 seconds is faster by 0.3 seconds; top speed is 320kph.

Ferrari Amalfi exterior design

Excluding the glasshouse, every panel is new.

The Italian manufacturer claims that every body panel, barring the glasshouse, is brand new on the Amalfi. The bulk of the changes are visible at the front, with a Purosangue SUV-like design replacing the shark nose and grille. A black bar connects the sleeker headlights, and the Amalfi's new underbody lips and a remodelled active rear wing help in better airflow; the latter alone can add 110kg of downforce compared to the Roma. New ducts near the headlights further reduce drag, in addition to sending more air to the turbos.

Amalfi GT's profile is largely untouched and still features flush-fitting door handles and 20-inch wheels. The rear sees subtle tail-light revisions and a relocated license plate recess on the diffuser.

Ferrari Amalfi interior

New 10.25-inch touchscreen, physical buttons for the steering wheel.

Changes to the marginally revamped cabin are marked by a suspended central tunnel, which is milled from a solid aluminium block. This section also houses the gear selector, key slot, wireless charging pad and a few secondary controls. As for the digital appointments, a larger 10.25-inch touchscreen in landscape orientation replaces the 8.4-inch vertical unit, and it is compatible with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The 8.8-inch passenger screen is present, too, but the 15.6-inch driver's display has now shrunk by 0.4 inches.

The most notable feature, though, has to be the return of physical controls on the steering wheel (over the capacitive ones in the Roma), including the red engine start/stop button. Like the outgoing model, Amalfi has been fitted with two rear seats.
