Great design is one that barely ages, and many can agree that the Ferrari Roma, which was first revealed in 2019, is a perfect example of that. Six years later, we now have a successor to the entry-level Ferrari sports car. However, despite having a new name, it also happens to look very familiar. Say hello to the 2026 Ferrari Amalfi, essentially the facelifted version of the Roma.
The 2026 Ferrari Amalfia aims to continue a long lineage of front-engined, rear-wheel drive (FWD) grand tourers, but in a package that aims to redefine “contemporary sportiness”. Ferrari claims that every body panel here is new, though that’s not something an automaker would say if their successor looks completely different, right?
Anyway, this begins with the new front end, which, like the 12Cilindri, the LED headlights are visually connected by a black trim piece. This also becomes a neat place to hide the various vehicle sensors. To be fair, though, even the side profile now features a subtle character line, whereas the previous Roma solely relied on curves to create visual character. Ferrari is also proud to highlight that the 20-inch wheels are milled from a solid piece of aluminum, helping them achieve a unique silver finish.
Moving towards the rear of the Amalfi, the rear license plate has been relocated closer to the rear diffuser, while the active rear spoiler is now located at the tip of the Amalfi’s rear end. You also get new LED taillights, which, just like the front end, feature a black trim piece that visually connects the two lighting elements.
As for the interior, the 2026 Ferrari Amlafi’s upgrades are even more pronounced. Gone is the previous Roma’s rising center console in favor of a traditional horizontal dash layout. The center console is milled from a single block of anodized aluminum, while a new landscape 10.25-inch infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto complements the passenger’s side 8.8-inch display. The driver also gets a 15.6-inch digital gauge cluster, but the main highlight here is Ferrari’s decision to bring back physical controls–including the engine start button.
While this is essentially a mid-cycle facelift of the Amalfi, Ferrari has spent a great deal on improving its mechanicals. For starters, the 3.9-liter twin-turbo V8 has been boosted by 20 horses to 631 horsepower, though its 760 Nm of torque remains unchanged. This results in its 0-100 kph time dropping by a tenth to 3.3 seconds, while its 320 kph top speed remains unchanged.
Ferrari also introduces a new electric power steering system, which comes with an upgraded grip estimation function. The steering is supposedly 10 percent faster and more accurate, regardless of the road surface. Ferrari also introduces an improved brake-by-wire system, which significantly improves braking power, enhances modulation, and reduces pedal travel, while the new ABS Evo system is basically your usual anti-lock braking system (ABS), but tweaked by Ferrari to ensure optimal braking performance on all Manettino modes and driving conditions.
