When Ferrari names its models after specific locations, it often reveals key aspects of the car’s character. The brand’s recent front-mid-engine V-8 models, such as the California, Portofino, and Roma, aren’t designed as extreme track machines. Their names evoke images of pleasant days and urban elegance rather than record-breaking lap times at Fiorano. The new 2027 Ferrari Amalfi perfectly embodies this sophisticated lifestyle, particularly when finished in its signature Verde Costiera paint—a striking azure green reminiscent of the Amalfi coast.
While driving at high speeds on the actual Amalfi Coast is challenging due to its narrow, winding roads overlooking the Mediterranean, the Ferrari Amalfi is engineered for impressive performance. Like the Roma, the Amalfi features a front-mid-mounted engine, but it now extracts even more power from its twin-turbocharged 3.9-liter flat-plane-crank V-8, delivering 631 horsepower – a 19-hp increase over the Roma. Ferrari has also reduced the weight of the camshafts by 2.9 pounds to enhance the V-8’s eagerness to rev. Performance figures align with Ferrari’s standards, even for a model with rear seats, achieving 0-60 mph in approximately three seconds and reaching a top speed of 199 mph.
Worth A Look
2027 Ferrari Amalfi: Interior Review
The cabin is tastefully designed, featuring a slab of anodized aluminum that tops the center console, complete with a cutout for the rectangular key fob. A passenger-side screen displays the tachometer and controls for features like seat heaters and massage functions. Both sides can access a discreet central infotainment screen. However, Ferrari enthusiasts will likely be most pleased to see the return of physical buttons on the steering wheel, including a prominent start button. Ferrari explained that the shift to capacitive touch controls (starting with the SF90) was initially driven by a desire for futurism. However, customer feedback indicated a preference for traditional buttons, and Ferrari has responded accordingly. The Amalfi’s more conventional and user-friendly steering wheel will now be the standard.
2027 Ferrari Amalfi: Seating and Practicality
At first glance, the Amalfi’s interior may appear to be a two-seater because the rear seats are finished in black, even when the front seats are a lighter color. While not a family car, the Amalfi can accommodate adults in the rear seats for shorter trips, provided there’s a mutual agreement on legroom with the front passengers. More often, the rear seats will likely serve as convenient storage for items like groceries or gym bags. The trunk also provides ample space for a couple of carry-on suitcases or, notably, a bag of golf clubs—thanks to a specially designed space near the driver’s side bumper that can accommodate a 1 wood without needing to break it.
2027 Ferrari Amalfi: Exterior Design and Features
Externally, the Amalfi shares the Roma’s wheelbase and overall proportions. The most noticeable difference is the front end, which aligns with Ferrari’s move toward non-anthropomorphic styling, as seen in the F80. It lacks a traditional grille, and the bodywork between the headlights is blacked out to avoid the “two eyes and a mouth” appearance. The wheel spokes appear solid from the front but are hollowed out on the back, saving weight and adding a stylish touch.
The Amalfi’s short rear decklid conceals a motorized spoiler that adjusts to three positions: down for low drag, medium, and high downforce. In the high-downforce position, the spoiler generates 243 pounds of downforce at 155 mph. It operates automatically, preventing you from simply raising it for show at exclusive valet lines.
2027 Ferrari Amalfi: Specs and Price
The Amalfi has a base price of €240,000, or approximately $283,000, depending on the current exchange rate. Its primary competitors include the Aston Martin Vanquish and, to a lesser extent, the Bentley Continental GT. While Ferrari hasn’t confirmed a convertible version, the fact that the car isn’t named after a mountain peak suggests that a droptop variant is likely in the future. The Amalfi is scheduled to go on sale in Europe in early 2026, with U.S. deliveries following soon after.
