Ferrari Amalfi: The V8 Grand Tourer That Honors The Past While Racing Into The Future

Ferrari Amalfi: The V8 Grand Tourer That Honors The Past While Racing Into The Future

Ferrari has officially pulled the wraps off the all-new Amalfi, a striking successor to the recently retired Roma. While it retains the core grand touring spirit of its predecessor, the Amalfi evolves the formula with sharper styling, refined technology, and — most importantly for purists — a familiar and thrilling twin-turbo V8.

 

Positioned as Ferrari’s new entry-level offering, the Amalfi aims to attract both seasoned fans and first-time owners with a mix of luxury, usability, and unfiltered performance. But don’t let the “entry-level” label fool you — this is still a serious Ferrari.

 

Powertrain: More Muscle From The Twin-Turbo V8

 

Powertrain: More Muscle From The Twin-Turbo V8

 

Under the elongated hood lies Ferrari’s updated 3.9-liter (3855 cc) twin-turbocharged V8, now tuned to produce 631 horsepower (471 kW / 640 PS) and 560 lb-ft (760 Nm) of torque. That’s an increase of 20 hp over the Roma, achieved through upgraded turbochargers, new pressure sensors, a redesigned engine block, lightweight camshafts, and a raised redline of 7,600 rpm.

 

Power is sent to the rear wheels through an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission, which benefits from a more powerful control unit for smoother, faster shifts. The result is a 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) sprint in just 3.3 seconds and a top speed of 320 km/h (199 mph).

To meet modern regulations without dulling the engine’s symphony, Ferrari reworked the exhaust system. A proportionally controlled bypass valve adapts the tone based on drive mode, ensuring the Amalfi sounds like a proper Ferrari under load, yet remains refined when cruising.

 

Design: Sharper, Bolder, Yet Instantly Familiar

The Amalfi doesn’t radically break from the Roma’s elegant silhouette — and that’s intentional. Ferrari describes it as a more “sculpted and modern” interpretation of its predecessor.

 

The front fascia trades the traditional grille for a wide lower air intake, flanked by restyled LED headlights and a central dark bar that visually stretches the front end. A new front splitter and discreet sensors are integrated into the design with aerodynamic efficiency in mind.

Along the side, 20-inch wheels wrapped in either Bridgestone Potenza Sport or Pirelli P Zero tires hint at the car’s dual identity as both a cruiser and performer.

 

At the rear, a new curvaceous bumper, repositioned license plate recess, and redesigned taillights complete the transformation. A revised diffuser and fresh venting further underline the aerodynamic intent.

Ferrari has listened to its customers — especially those longing for more tactile controls. The Amalfi’s cabin sees a return to a more traditional dashboard layout, doing away with the controversial ramp-style division used in the Roma.

 

A landscape 10.25-inch infotainment display replaces the old portrait screen, offering Android Auto and Apple CarPlay as standard. Behind the wheel, a 15.6-inch digital instrument cluster gives drivers real-time performance data, while an 8.8-inch passenger display lets occupants track speed, revs, and G-forces — perfect for keeping your co-pilot engaged.

A revised steering wheel brings back physical switchgear, including a metallic engine start button, while the center console is milled from anodized aluminum and features a retro-inspired gear selector gate, key slot, and wireless charging pad.

 

Seats are ventilated, massage-equipped, and offered in three sizes to ensure comfort during long journeys. Those seeking high-end audio can opt for a 14-speaker Burmester system with 1,200 watts of immersive sound.

 

Technology And Driving Dynamics: Improved Braking, Sharper Steering

The Amalfi may look like a refined GT, but underneath it’s packed with cutting-edge tech aimed at enhancing driving precision and safety.

A new brake-by-wire system reduces pedal travel and improves modulation, while the latest ABS Evo system ensures consistent performance in all conditions. The electric power steering system features an upgraded grip estimation algorithm that’s 10% faster and more accurate — even on slippery surfaces.

 

On the safety front, the Amalfi comes equipped with:

Adaptive Cruise Control

Automatic Emergency Braking

Blind Spot Detection

Lane Departure Warning & Lane Keeping Assist

Rear Cross Traffic Alert

Traffic Sign Recognition

Surround View Monitor

 

The Ideal Ferrari For A New Era

 

The Ideal Ferrari For A New Era

 

The 2025 Ferrari Amalfi represents more than just a facelift — it’s a statement. By refining the Roma’s design, improving its powertrain, and reintroducing traditional controls inside, Ferrari has created a car that’s easier to live with, more engaging to drive, and respectful of its heritage.

It’s fast, it’s beautiful, and it has buttons. For purists and new buyers alike, that’s a very welcome surprise.

Onvo L90: New Six-Seat Electric SUV Aims to Undercut Lixiang and Aito

Onvo L90: New Six-Seat Electric SUV Aims to Undercut Lixiang and Aito

Chinese EV maker Nio is preparing to shake up the electric SUV market with the launch of its new flagship under the Onvo sub-brand. The Onvo L90 is a large, three-row electric crossover designed for family use, and its starting price is expected to be below 300,000 yuan, or roughly $41,900. That makes it significantly more affordable than rivals like the Lixiang L8 and Aito M9 — and a strong contender in China’s competitive EV segment.

New World Altitude Record for a Car 6,734 Meters

In an extraordinary feat of engineering and endurance, Porsche has set a new world record for the highest altitude ever reached by a car. Two heavily modified Porsche 911s managed to climb up to 6,734 meters above sea level on the slopes of Ojos del Salado, the world’s highest active volcano located in Chile. This surpasses the previous record of 6,694 meters, which was also set on the same volcano by a pair of Mercedes-Benz Unimogs.
