Photo by: Ferrari On Tuesday, in Italy, the 2026 Ferrari Amalfi coupe was unmasked for the world to see, replacing the Roma with 631hp V8 power, tactile controls, and race-derived technology, potentially one of the brand’s last pure-gas front engine GT cars before its EV shift.
The sleeker 2026 Ferrari, SF90-inspired four-seater hits 198 miles per hour (mph) and accelerates to 62 mph in 3.3 seconds, while ditching the Roma’s touch controls for physical buttons and adding 296 GTB’s brake-by-wire system.
The Ferrari Roma successor is priced at nearly $300,000, where the Amalfi balances daily-driver safety technology with Italian automaker’s signature thrills, as Ferrari prepares to launch its first EV in coming years.
Ferrari has taken a bold jump with the Amalfi, despite sticking to the shape of the outgoing Roma. The Ferrari Roma successor is more powerful, with new tech, and some most welcome interior revisions.
New Look, Same Spirit
The Ferrari Amalfi is sleek and aggressive, with an SF90- and 12Cilindri-inspired design that maintains Roma’s proportions but with sharper lines and a new shark nose frontend featuring slim headlights connected by a black bar.
The heart of the Amalfi is the same 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8, now tuned to produce Ferrari Amalfi horsepower of 631, an increase of 19 over Roma. The power boost is due to many upgrades, including lighter camshafts, improved turbo calibration, and a more advanced engine control unit.
“The performance increase was achieved through an advanced turbocharging management system,” Ferrari said, and new pressure sensors enable improved throttle response and precision.
Interior Upgrades Driven by Innovation
Internally, the 2026 Ferrari Amalfi addresses one of Roma’s biggest criticisms: touch-sensitive controls. Ferrari has replaced them with physical buttons, and a real titanium start button, mounted for easier use. This more tactile approach brings ease and shows the brand is listening to its drivers.
The entry-level Ferrari now includes a brake-by-wire system borrowed from the 296 GTB, an active rear wing that can generate up to 242 pounds of downforce at 155 mph, and Ferrari’s Side Slip Control 6.1 software for smarter handling across all conditions. Safety is also a priority, with adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, and lane-keeping features, important additions for what could be Ferrari’s most daily drivable coupe.
The 2026 Ferrari Roma replacement is expected to cost closer to $300,000, reflecting its upgrades and likely inflation over Roma’s $247,308 starting price. That may also help the new model avoid the Ferrari Roma depreciation issues seen in recent years.
Although this isn’t a Ferrari electric car (EV), the Amalfi might be one of the final full gas-powered front-engine Ferraris prior to the company transitioning to its first EV car, which will come in the near future.
Expect deliveries of the 2026 Ferrari Amalfi to begin later this year, and if you’re interested in a drop-off, the trademarked Amalfi Spider classification indicates a convertible version is not far off.
