Elegance meets power in 2026 Ferrari Amalfi twin-turbo GT
Ferrari says arrivederci to Roma with the launch of the all-new 2026 Amalfi
Like many things in life, all good things must come to an end. But that doesn't you can't replace them with something better. Ferrari quietly wrapped up production of the Roma last year, which means if you're still looking to get one, better ask Ferrari Philippines distributor Velocita Motors Inc. if they still have units available at their dealership.
But if you're already thinking of getting its successor, you're in luck as the Maranello-based brand recently took the covers off the 2026 Ferrari Amalfi. Billed as the automaker's newest GT, Ferrari claims the 2026 Amalfi is designed for clients who enjoy sporty driving without sacrificing comfort and style.
Beginning with its design, the Ferrari Amalfi builds upon the brand's coupe berlinetta design but makes it sleeker and more aerodynamic to better suit its Grand Tourer concept. It still has styling elements derived from the Roma, but now gets a more dynamic front fascia that appears to have been inspired by the Purosangue. The long hood is accentuated by a low-slung air intake on the front bumper, along with a simpler-looking grille. Also new are the thin LED headlights that are both eye-catching and pleasing to the eyes.
Sharp lines and geometric volumes give the Amalfi a more sculpted and coherent-looking body. Meanwhile, the wedge-shaped theme running along the side, together with the integrated lighting units, further highlights the sleek and monolithic design of the Amalfi. Last but not least, the rear adopts a curvaceous design while still keeping the Roma-inspired LED taillights.
Hop inside, and the Ferrari Amalfi welcomes occupants into a dual-cockpit layout. This gives both the driver and passenger a cocoon-like cabin experience. It ditches the Roma's ramp-like center dashboard in favor of a more traditional design. As a result, the Amalfi features a 10.25-inch infotainment system with Apple CarPlay & Android Auto. Meanwhile, the front passenger gets an 8.8-inch display that can show media systems, a G-Force meter, and engine revs.
In front of the driver is a massive 15.6-inch digital instrument panel that appears to have been derived from the Ferrari Purosangue. Not only do they deliver crisp graphics, but they can also show plenty of information and points of interest with ease. Audiophiles will be happy to know the Amalfi is available with an optional Burmester sound system with 14 speakers and 1,200 watts of power.
Under the hood, the Amalfi is powered by the latest evolution of Ferrari's twin-turbo V8. The 3.9L eight-cylinder engine makes 640 PS at 7500 rpm along with a generous 760 Nm of torque between 3000 – 5750 rpm. The increase in power was made possible thanks to upgraded turbochargers, dedicated pressure sensors for each cylinder bank, a new engine control unit, a redesigned block, lightweight camshafts, and an increased redline of 7600 rpm.
Power is then sent to the rear wheels via an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission. From a standstill, Ferrari says the Amalfi can go from 0 – 100 km/h in 3.3 seconds. It can also achieve a 0 – 200 km/h time of just 9 seconds and hit a top speed of 320 km/h.
With the Ferrari Amalfi now available, we can expect Velocita Motors Inc. to launch the Roma's successor sometime around next year. Hopefully, we'll get a chance to get behind the wheel of Maranello's latest GT stallion.
