Its occasional-use rear seats, useful luggage capacity, and road-friendly character make it one of the more versatile sports cars in Ferrari's lineup.Rivals include the Aston Martin Vantage, McLaren GTS, and Chevrolet Corvette ZR1.What's NewThe Ferrari Amalfi is an all-new model for 2027, replacing the Roma as the brand's front-engine V-8 grand tourer. A new Amalfi Spider convertible also joins the lineup.What We ThinkThe Ferrari Amalfi improves on the already excellent Roma with stronger performance, a more usable interior, and even greater breadth of ability. It is a superb grand tourer that can transform into a thrilling sports car, though its predecessor may remain the more visually memorable of the two.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe twin-turbo V-8 feels more eager, the dual-clutch transmission is brilliantly responsive, and the rear-drive chassis changes direction with a freedom many all-wheel-drive rivals cannot match. Quick steering, excellent brakes, and well-balanced adaptive suspension help the Amalfi blur the line between sports car and supercar without making it exhausting on a long trip.Ferrari also addressed the Roma's most frustrating weakness by replacing many of its fussy haptic steering-wheel controls with physical buttons. The redesigned cabin is more spacious and inviting, and the landscape-oriented central touchscreen looks better integrated, although the finicky mirror controls and questionable passenger display remain.Its tiny rear seats are useful mainly for luggage, and the Amalfi is quieter outside than the Roma, but neither compromise undermines its appeal. Among exotic grand tourers, few combine this much comfort, speed, agility, and occasion so convincingly.Top-Ranked Competitors:Aston Martin VantageMcLaren GTSChevrolet Corvette ZR1PerformanceThe Amalfi uses a revised version of the Roma's 3.9-liter twin-turbo V-8 that produces 631 hp and 561 lb-ft of torque. Power reaches the rear wheels through an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.AdvertisementAdvertisementFerrari estimates the Amalfi will accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in roughly 3.3 seconds. That puts it almost even with the V-8-powered Aston Martin Vantage, which makes 656 hp and 590 lb-ft from its 4.0-liter twin-turbo engine and is estimated to reach 60 mph in 3.4 seconds. Both are exceptionally quick.Safety FeaturesThe Ferrari Amalfi is available with an extensive selection of driver assistance technology, including:Adaptive cruise controlForward collision warningAutomatic emergency brakingBlind-spot monitoringRear cross-traffic monitoringLane keepingAutomatic high-beamsTraffic-sign recognitionDriver focus monitoring360-degree cameraHow Big Is the Amalfi?The Amalfi closely follows the proportions of the Roma. It measures 183.5 inches long, 77.7 inches wide, and 51.2 inches tall, with a 105.1-inch wheelbase. Compared with the Roma, it's only about 0.2 inch longer; width, height, and wheelbase are unchanged.Ferrari describes the Amalfi as a "2+" coupe, meaning it has two full-size front seats and a pair of very small rear seats. Although the back row technically expands passenger capacity to four, we found those seats better suited to luggage than people.The trunk provides approximately 9.6 cubic feet of cargo space. That's essentially identical to the Roma's trunk. The Aston Martin Vantage offers a roomier 12.4-cubic-foot trunk, although the Ferrari's small rear seats provide useful overflow space for bags.TechnologyInfotainmentThe Amalfi comes with three screens. A 15.6-inch driver display presents driving and vehicle information. A 10.3-inch central touchscreen controls stereo, phone, climate, seat, and vehicle functions. An 8.8-inch passenger display can show performance data such as engine speed and cornering forces.Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, and a wireless phone charger is integrated into the center console. An optional Burmester premium sound system employs 14 speakers.ValueStandard FeaturesWith a starting price of about $267,000 before options, the Amalfi isn't exactly a performance bargain. A McLaren GTS costs less, the Aston Martin Vantage offers comparable speed for considerably less money, and the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 delivers far greater performance at a lower price.Buyers are paying heavily for the Ferrari badge and the experience, but among exotic grand tourers, the Amalfi offers more everyday versatility than many similarly capable alternatives.
