631-HP Ferrari Amalfi Is the Roma's Equally Pretty Replacement

• After a five-year run, the Ferrari Roma is no more, replaced by the new 2027 Ferrari Amalfi.
• The front-mid-engine Amalfi gets a 631-hp twin-turbocharged V-8 that can send the beautiful coupe to a claimed 199-mph top speed.
• Prices start at around $283,000, and production begins early next year.

When Ferrari's model names reference a particular place, that locale can tell you a lot about the car itself. The company's recent front-mid-engine V-8 cars aren't supposed to be all-out track monsters, and their names say as much: California, Portofino, Roma. Think balmy days or urban sophistication rather than Fiorano-dominating lap times. The latest car in the lineup, the 2027 Ferrari Amalfi, fits right into this dolce vita mind space, especially when wearing its signature Verde Costiera paint—an azure green you might expect to see in, well, Amalfi.

While it's difficult to drive very fast on the actual Amalfi coast, with its narrow roads draped over cliffs that plunge to the Mediterranean, the namesake car has the goods for a serious turn of speed. Like the Roma before it, the Amalfi is front-mid-engined but now ekes out a bit of extra oomph from its twin-turbocharged 3.9-liter flat-plane-crank V-8 that makes 631 horsepower, a gain of 19 horsepower over the Roma. Ferrari also lightened the camshafts—by 2.9 pounds!—with the goal of increasing the V-8's propensity for rev-happy zing. Claimed performance is what you'd expect out of a Ferrari, even one with back seats, with zero-to-60-mph times in the low three-second range and a top speed of 199 mph.

Rejoice! The Red Start Button Is Back

The cabin is handsome, with a slab of anodized aluminum topping the center console and featuring a cutout for the rectangular key fob. There's a passenger-side screen that offers a tachometer and controls for items such as the seat heaters or massage functions, and both sides can access a discreet central infotainment screen. But Ferrari fans will be most delighted (or possibly, relieved) when they see the steering wheel, which regains physical buttons, including a prominent start button. Ferrari explained that when it went big on capacitive touch controls (first in the SF90) that the move was made in the name of futurism. But Ferrari's customers—"clients," in Ferrari lingo—let them know that they wanted their buttons back, and Ferrari obliged. From now on, the Amalfi's more traditional (and usable) wheel will be the norm rather than the exception.

At first glance, the Amalfi's interior looks like a two-seater because the rear seats are black, even if the front ones are a lighter hue. And you wouldn't call the Amalfi a family car, but you can fit adults in the back for short journeys, after signing a legroom-sharing treaty with the people up front. Mostly, the back seats will probably serve as a handy place to throw groceries or a gym bag, but the trunk also offers enough room for a couple of carry-ons or, notably, a bag of golf clubs—there's a scooped-out space back by the driver's side bumper that'll accommodate your 1 wood without breaking it in half.

Roma Becomes Amalfi

Outside, the Amalfi retains the Roma's wheelbase and basic proportions, with the front end being the most immediate tell that this is a new model. The Amalfi adopts the F80's consciously non-anthropomorphic style, with no grille and the bodywork between the headlights blacked out to avoid the "two eyes and a mouth" visual. The spokes of the wheels appear solid from the front, but the back side of each spoke is hollowed out, which saves some weight, sure, but also looks cool.

The Amalfi's short rear decklid conceals a motorized spoiler that operates in three positions: down for low drag, medium, and high downforce. In the last position, the spoiler makes 243 pounds of downforce at 155 mph. It's fully automatic, so you can't just raise it for profiling at the Spago valet line.

The Amalfi's base price is €240,000, or about $283,000, depending on the exchange rate. The Amalfi's natural competitors are the Aston Martin Vanquish and, less directly but still in the same psychological sphere, the Bentley Continental GT. Will there be a convertible? Ferrari won't say, but they didn't name the car the Ferrari Summit of Mount Washington, so we'd guess a droptop is forthcoming. The Amalfi goes on sale in Europe at the beginning of 2026, with U.S. deliveries soon thereafter.
