The 2027 Ferrari Amalfi signals a shift in the Prancing Horse’s lineup. It isn’t about all-out track performance, but rather about refined, high-speed cruising. As the replacement for the Roma, the Amalfi is built to dominate the winding roads of places like the Gulf of Salerno, blending seamlessly into luxurious Mediterranean landscapes.
Performance and Powertrain
The heart of the Amalfi is a mid-mounted, twin-turbocharged 3.9-liter V-8 engine, now producing 631 horsepower. This power is channeled through an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, ensuring precise shifts and aggressive acceleration. Ferrari claims improvements in throttle response, adding 19 horsepower over the outgoing Roma’s engine.
The Amalfi also borrows from its higher-performance siblings, integrating a brake-by-wire system and ABS Evo from the 296GTB to enhance cornering prowess. An active rear wing dynamically adjusts to either reduce drag or increase downforce, optimizing handling for every situation. Independent testing estimates a 0-60 mph time of just 3.0 seconds, placing the Amalfi in direct competition with the Aston Martin Vanquish and Bentley Continental GT.
Interior and Comfort
Inside, the Amalfi blends luxury with technology. Leather and faux suede dominate the cabin, enveloping occupants in a cocoon of comfort. Ferrari has addressed complaints from the Roma by reintroducing tactile controls, including the iconic red Start button, to complement the redesigned infotainment system.
A 10.3-inch touchscreen now sits low on the dashboard, while the passenger receives their own 8.8-inch display for real-time performance data such as G-forces and engine RPM. The 2+2 configuration offers small rear seats suitable for short trips or luggage. The trunk is surprisingly practical for a Ferrari, easily fitting a couple of carry-ons or golf clubs.
Pricing and Value
The Amalfi’s starting price undercuts many of its Prancing Horse brethren. It’s positioned as an entry point into Ferrari ownership, though “bargain” is relative in this segment. With models like the 12Cilindri exceeding $470,000 and the SF90 topping $600,000, the Amalfi offers a comparatively accessible pathway to owning a Ferrari. Demand is expected to be high, with many units likely pre-sold before reaching showrooms.
Safety and Ownership
Driver assistance technology isn’t an afterthought. Optional features like blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, and lane-departure warning enhance driver confidence. Ferrari provides a three-year unlimited-mileage limited and powertrain warranty, along with seven years of complimentary maintenance.
The 2027 Ferrari Amalfi represents a deliberate shift towards grand touring refinement. While it retains the raw performance expected from the brand, it prioritizes comfort, technology, and an elevated driving experience. This model will likely appeal to those who seek a stylish, high-speed companion for the world’s most scenic routes.
