Ferrari pulled the virtual sheets off its latest sports car today, revealing the 2027 Amalfi after teasing the model yesterday. Named for a gorgeous stretch of Italian coastline in the Province of Salerno, the Amalfi will replace the Roma as Ferrari’s entry-level model, retaining its predecessor’s classic, front-engine proportions and much of its slinky styling, though rendered with modern design cues. And predictably, performance will improve as well compared to the Roma, with a 631-horsepower, twin-turbo V8 sending power to the rear wheels via an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission.

Lots Of Carryover Design Cues

Instead of merely facelifting its cars, Ferrari will often apply a rather substantial redesign to its existing products, then give them new names – see the 458 and 488 for proof. That seems to be the case here, with the Amalfi adopting the swoopy headlights of the 296 GTB and Purosangue, but grafting them onto the shapely fastback body of the Roma. The front end is undeniably more minimalist than the Roma's, with a slim black line connecting the headlights above an angular, bumper-mounted air intake that replaces the outgoing car's modern take on a classic Ferrari egg-crate grille.

The rear end has been similarly tweaked, with narrow taillights resting under a wide plank of a spoiler, ditching the unusual wrap-over tails of the Roma. The adaptive spoiler has also been relocated from the base of the rear glass to the body-color portion of the trunklid. The wing has three different settings – flush, medium-height, and high-downforce – depending on the car's Mannettino drive mode setting and current G-forces. The diffuser retains its prominent quad exhaust outlets, but the lower bumper's contours are reshaped for a more chiseled appearance.

The interior of the 2+2 coupe has also been modernized, with the most obvious difference being the 10.3-inch, landscape-oriented touchscreen sitting low in the cabin, replacing a narrow, vertical unit in the Roma. The 2027 Amalfi retains its predecessor's twin-pod dashboard design, with the driver facing a so-called "monolith" instrument cluster binnacle that seamlessly incorporates the air vents and a 15.6-inch gauge display. The passenger, meanwhile, faces their own 8.8-inch supplementary display, allowing the copilot to handle secondary infotainment tasks without distracting the driver. Since the more aggressive 296 GTB gets to handle hardcore performance duties for Ferrari customers, the Amalfi's cabin is airier and more stylish, and the automaker will offer the coupe with massaging comfort seats and optional Burmester 1,200-watt audio.

Comprehensive Performance Improvements

Although it retains many of the same core traits as the Roma, the 2027 Ferrari Amalfi nevertheless receives a litany of minor performance improvements to ensure its own progress. A Ferrari F154 twin-turbocharged 3.9-liter V8 is once again the only powerplant offered, but updates to the turbos and engine control unit have uncorked 631 hp and 561 pound-feet of torque, the latter number an increase of 19 compared to the Roma. But the engine's improvements don't stop at the slight bump in power. New lightweight camshafts save 2.9 pounds, while the precision-cast engine block saves 2.2 pounds over the Roma's.

The faster-responding, twin-scroll turbos scavenge exhaust gas more effectively, while the single-scroll, equal-length exhaust runners mean more efficient breathing when the engine exhales. The result is improved throttle response and a wider, flatter torque curve for the otherwise-carryover 561 lb-ft of twist, and the engine's rev limit has increased to 7,600 from 7,500. As before, the engine features a flat-plane crankshaft for the thrilling exhaust note we've come to expect of a Ferrari.

The net result of those tweaks is a sprint to 62 miles per hour (100 kilometers per hour) of 3.3 seconds, knocking an all-important tenth off of the Roma's time. The 2027 Ferrari Amalfi runs out of steam at a heady 199 mph, the same as its predecessor. And thanks to the 296 GTB's "ABS Evo" braking system and variable electric power steering, Ferrari says the Amalfi will be more dynamic in the corners as well.

Pricing TBD, But If You Have To Ask…

With a base price in Europe of €240,000, the Amalfi will carry a starting price of around $280,000 at current exchange rates – up from the 243 grand demanded by the Roma. That said, Ferrari hasn't announced market-specific pricing or availability for its new sports car, nor has it revealed the all-but-guaranteed Amalfi Spider, which will replace the droptop Roma as well. We hope the company will find a way to chop some of the price premium from its "entry-level" coupe, because to be completely honest, asking $40,000 more for what is only a slightly improved automobile feels like a rip. Still, it's a Ferrari, so we have no doubt the 2027 Amalfi will be a smash hit for hardcore Tifosi all over the world.

Summary

Companies New model replaces and upgrades Ferrari Roma

Selling price starts from 240,000 euros

First deliveries expected in first quarter 2026

MILAN, July 1 (Reuters) – Ferrari (RACE.MI) , opens new tab revealed its new Amalfi coupe on Tuesday as the luxury sportscar maker mixes petrol and hybrid models in its range while preparing for the launch of its first fully electric vehicle.

The eight-cylinder, 3.85-litre Amalfi replaces and upgrades the successful 2019 Roma in the entry segment of Ferrari’s range and comes just two months after the launch of the 296 Speciale hybrid car and its convertible version.

Ferrari will begin unveiling its first EV in October this year in a three-stage process culminating in a world premiere next spring. However, a second EV model that would aim for wider sales is not expected before 2028, because of a substantial lack of demand for high-performance luxury EVs, sources have told Reuters.

The Amalfi has similar dimensions to the Roma, differing in its exterior look from its predecessor mainly for its redesigned front.

Chief Marketing and Commercial Officer Enrico Galliera said the Amalfi was a true Ferrari sportscar in terms of high performance, technology and driving pleasure, but it also had a “very elegant soul”.

“It allows for a different driving experience, less extreme but equally fun, it’s suitable for a wide range of driving conditions,” he said.

The Amalfi is purely powered by an internal combustion engine which delivers 640 horsepower for a top speed of 320 kilometres per hour. It features a rear integrated active spoiler, contributing to the car’s stability at high speed, the company said.

Like the Roma, the Amalfi is a 2+ coupe, meaning it has two small rear seats.

The starting price for the new model is set at 240,000 euros ($281,000), with first deliveries to clients scheduled in the first quarter of next year, starting from Europe. Deliveries to U.S. clients are expected to start three to six months later, at a higher price due to import tariffs

Orders for the Amalfi are being opened on Tuesday but Ferrari’s dealers already received lots of expressions of interest from clients, Galliera said.

The Roma coupe has gone out of production, while its retractable-top version, that was introduced in 2023, currently remains in Ferrari’s range.

Ferrari unveiled the Amalfi, a stunning successor to the Roma, blending classic grand tourer elegance with modern performance. Boasting a 631-horsepower V8 and advanced technology, the Amalfi redefines Ferrari’s entry-level supercar.

According to Ferrari’s official release, the Ferrari Amalfi, designed by Flavio Manzoni’s Centro Stile, enhances the Roma’s graceful proportions with a contemporary edge. A body-colored floating wing replaces the traditional grille, paired with sleek headlamps and a pronounced lower splitter for a wider stance. The rear features minimalist taillights and a bold diffuser, complemented by a flowing rear glass that enhances the signature silhouette. Painted in Verde Costiera, a teal inspired by the Amalfi Coast, the car’s sculpted body captivates. Every exterior panel is new, ensuring a fresh yet timeless Ferrari aesthetic.

The Amalfi’s cabin, inspired by the 12Cilindri, features a monolithic dashboard that integrates a 15.6-inch instrument cluster and air vents. A 10.25-inch central touchscreen supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while an 8.8-inch passenger display handles secondary tasks. The anodised aluminium centre console houses a gear selector and wireless charger. Optional comfort seats, available in three sizes, offer ventilation and five massage programs. A 1,200-watt Burmester audio system enhances the experience, making the 2+2 coupe ideal for daily drives.

Amalfi’s Aerodynamic and Tech Enhancements

The Amalfi features an active rear wing with three modes—Low Drag, Medium Downforce, and High Downforce generating up to 242 pounds of downforce at 155 mph. New underbody lips and air ducts above the headlights optimise airflow, balancing stability and efficiency. Advanced tech includes a brake-by-wire system, ABS Evo, and Side Slip Control 6.1 for precise handling. Driver assistance systems, such as adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist, ensure safety and enhance accessibility for new Ferrari owners.

After a five-year run, the Ferrari Roma is no more, replaced by the new 2027 Ferrari Amalfi.

Powered by a 3.9-litre twin-turbo V8, the Amalfi delivers 631 horsepower, a 20-hp increase over the Roma, and 560 lb-ft of torque. Lighter camshafts, faster-spinning turbos (capable of up to 171,000 rpm), and a new Bosch ECU enhance responsiveness, with a 7,600-rpm redline. The eight-speed dual-clutch transmission, recalibrated for sharper shifts, propels the car from 0 to 62 mph in 3.3 seconds and to a top speed of 199 mph. A front lifter system aids navigation over obstacles. The Amalfi’s 1470kg dry weight ensures a class-leading power-to-weight ratio of 2.29 kg/hp.

The Ferrari Amalfi, priced at approximately $283,000, targets new buyers, with 50% of Roma owners being first-time Ferrari clients. Its blend of accessible performance, luxurious design, and advanced tech positions it against rivals like the Porsche 911 Turbo and Aston Martin DB12. As Ferrari’s last non-hybrid V8 coupe for now, it upholds the brand’s legacy while embracing modernity, captivating automotive enthusiasts globally. Deliveries are scheduled to begin in Q1 2026 in Europe, with U.S. models arriving by Q3 2027.

The Ferrari California generated a great deal of excitement among high-performance Italian exotic car enthusiasts when the model was introduced in 2008. It was Ferrari’s least expensive car, albeit with a base price at $200,000, well beyond the budget of many sportscar lovers.

Although the name alone conjures up an image of a flashy red convertible challenging the twists and turns of Highway 1 along the California coastline past Monterey, Carmel, and Big Sur, some enthusiasts claim the early models were uninspiring. The Ferrari lacked two essential characteristics that made Ferrari automobiles legendary: power and speed.

Yet, the car from Maranello, Italy, has been one of the most popular Ferrari’s over the past decade. The total production of all California variants from 2008 through the last year of production, 2017, exceeded 17,300 vehicles.

In 2018 Ferrari replaced the California with the Portofino as its low-end vehicle offering. Named after the most picturesque seaside village in Northern Italy located on the Mediterranean Sea, the sportscar is in its prime winding along the Strada Statale n. 1 Aurelia (SS1) that follows the coast from Rapallo to Portofino.

Here are the features that make the Portofino a superior car to the California and the best entry-level model ever produced by Ferrari.

Enthusiasm For The Base Model Ferrari California Diminished

Via: Digital Trends

While the California was Ferrari’s entry-level model for nearly ten years, the style was consistent with the Italian car manufacturer’s tradition of offering high-performance, exotic sportscars. Furthermore, Ferrari used the California to introduce several innovations.

Ferrari designed the first-generation California (2008-2011) for the average driver, those less accustomed to driving a vehicle with racecar characteristics. It was easier to handle, and getting in and out less of a challenge than most Ferrari models.

The California featured a front-engine as opposed to the traditional mid-engine design. The 4.3-liter power plant produced just over 425 horsepower giving the sportscar an acceleration of 0-60 mph in approximately four seconds and a top speed of about 193 miles per hour.

Direct fuel injection for the V8 engine, a seven-speed transmission with a dual-clutch, a multi-link rear suspension, and a removable metal roof were all “firsts” for Ferrari. Excellent handling was achieved with a unique traction control system, and the front engine weight distribution.

In 2012, Ferrari made several modifications to the California designed to satisfy customer requests. The engine was upgraded to generate more power and produce an exhaust tone similar to what enthusiasts were used to from other models.

To reduce weight, Ferrari made the new chassis almost entirely out of aluminum alloy, and an upgraded traction control system employed unique dampers to improve handling, especially through the corners.

Unfortunately, the upgraded engine in the 2012 model suffered from sudden lockups, in some cases, causing crashes at high speeds.

In 2013, Ferrari went back to installing the original engines, which solved the seizing-up problem, but it meant new buyers did not get the increase in horsepower. The company also recalled all affected 2012 models to change out the engine.

During the second-generation Ferrari California (2014-2017) production cycle, upgrades included a more powerful engine, a significant body redesign with improved aerodynamics, and a complete interior upgrade. A state-of-the-art infotainment system provided drivers with technology on par with Ferrari’s competitors.

Despite the changes to the California, Ferrari decided the time was right for an entirely new entry-level model, introducing the Portofino for the 2018 model year.

The Portofino Boasts A More Aggressive Style Than The California

Via: Netcarshow.com

Ferrari made a significant styling change with the introduction of the Portofino. The front bumper has a much sharper line highlighting a new front grille. The extended front splitter produces more high-pressure downforces and therefore increased traction, and the hood appears more muscular with longer hood vents.

Perhaps the most exciting feature of the new Portofino is the restyled headlights that include air intakes, which allow air to pass through to the wheel arch and out again at the side air intake.

The curved and sculpted doors help define the car’s lines, and with the top down, the fastback style is a bit flatter than the California. The muscular backend with a sharper rear lip and brand new bulkier rear diffuser hosts new taillights borrowed from the 488. The entire body of the Portofino is much more aggressive-looking than the California.

Performance And Handling Put The Portofino In A Different League

Via: Netcarshow.com

Although the Portofino is equipped with the same 3.9-liter V8 Twin-Turbocharged engine found in the California, it generates an additional 40 bhp (612 horsepower) and more torque while providing better fuel efficiency. The Portofino accelerates to 60 mph in just over three seconds. Brembo brakes ensure the sportscar is brought to a stop after employing all that power.

Ferrari has reached a higher level of handling performance by tweaking the magnetic damper algorithms, along with stiffer springs front and rear. The Portofino uses electromechanical steering (instead of the hydraulic steering used in the California) and Ferrari’s magnificent electronic differential to make body control far superior to the California.

It is no surprise that the Portofino offers the same small back seat found in most other Ferrari cars, but Country Club members will be pleased to know the trunk has been enlarged to fit a full set of golf clubs.

The interior of the Portofino features several updates from the California highlighted by the dashboard. The instrument cluster features a digital display on both the left and right, and an integrated HD touchscreen that looks like a tablet. Heating and lumbar support can be set directly from the infotainment screen.

The steering wheel connected to the improved steering system is slightly more oval-shaped than the California version, with a few new buttons.

An Entry-Level Ferrari Still Costs Over $200,000

Via: Pinterest

The Ferrari Portofino is lighter, faster, more attractive, and better made than its predecessor, the California.

The entry-level model competes with some impressive vehicles from other high-performance car manufacturers like the Aston Martin DB11 Volante, the AMG S63 Cabrio, and the Porsche Turbo cabriolet.

While the Portofino’s residual value with time is unlikely to match that of the 812 Superfast or 488, the sports car is a true Ferrari after all, and many would argue the car merits its asking price of over $200,000.
