As the successor to the Ferrari Roma, the Amalfi is Ferrari's first-ever GT car, designed for the daily driver who prefers to take the scenic route home.

Priced near the 300-grand mark plus additional costs, the Ferrari Amalfi picks up where the Roma left off with new and intriguing ways to keep its drivers satisfied for more.
While the Amalfi maintains the silhouette of the Roma it replaces, it features a front view inspired by its larger counterpart, the 12-cylinder model, all designed to exude a sleek and sporty appearance. Inside, the Amalfi is the first Ferrari to showcase a monolithic layout, where the instrument cluster and air vents are integrated into a single block. This unique air conditioning design ensures both the driver and passenger stay cool, even in heavy traffic.
Like most Ferraris, you can't escape the fact that it comes with a fully-functional touchscreen, an F1-style steering wheel full of switches and buttons, a second screen for the passenger, and other luxury features worth noticing.
The front-mid-engined 4.0L turbocharged V8 engine from the Roma has been boosted to produce 640PS of power, about 40PS less than its main rival, the Aston Martin Vantage S. Armed with the 8-speed F1-style transmission, it sprints from 0-100kph in 3.3 seconds and has a top speed of 320kph, nearly as good as the Vantage S.
The Amalfi retains the Roma's driver-friendly character, prioritizing road performance over track capabilities. Its road-focused suspension and chassis setup distinguish it from its relatives. As a result, the driving dynamics have improved, offering a smooth experience worthy to be called, sorry to say, "a smooth operator." Good on the track, better on the road, as the Amalfi means it.
The Amalfi is no doubt one of the must-drive GT cars of today. Not as smooth as butter, but it's a "smooth operator". This Roma successor is suitable for daily driving and ideal for date nights, appealing to those who excel like Leclerc or Hamilton.
