Positioned as the successor to the celebrated Roma, the Ferrari Amalfi delivers on all that is promised with this new model.

Grand touring of the dynamic kind in the Ferrari Amalfi

The Ferrari Amalfi is a grand touring sports car that offers a unique blend of high-performance capabilities and everyday versatility. The car is powered by a 3.9-liter twin-turbo V8 engine that produces 470 kilowatts of power and 760 newton meters of torque, which can be accessed from as low as 3,000rpm. This allows for quick and effortless acceleration, making overtakes a breeze.

The eight-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT) ensures smooth and almost unnoticeable gear shifts, with the ability to skip gears and maintain optimal power output when needed. The car's chassis is made primarily of aluminum and advanced composites, providing a stiff and compliant structure that allows for precise handling and agile cornering.

The steering is light and quick, enabling drivers to confidently navigate winding roads such as Du Toit’s Kloof pass. The Ferrari Amalfi is finished with forged wheels, carbon fiber details, and a luxurious interior featuring a triple-display HMI, advanced onboard comfort, and a premium audio system. With a top speed of 320km/h, the Amalfi proves that it can excel both in straight-line performance and on winding roads, offering a perfect balance between everyday usability and adrenaline-fueled driving.
