Ferrari Amalfi (2026)

In parallel, efforts were made to reduce mass: new lightweight camshafts (-1.3 kg) and a redesigned engine block with precision machining eliminated non-structural material, saving about one kilogram. For the first time in a Ferrari engine, a low-viscosity oil has been introduced, reducing cold resistance by 30% compared to the previous version, improving warm-up efficiency.

Throttle response is now even quicker thanks to a series of advanced technical solutions: a flat-plane crankshaft, compact low-inertia turbines, twin-scroll technology for separate exhaust gas management, and a single-scroll manifold with equal-length runners. These elements contribute to a sensation of continuous and progressive power delivery, with a torque curve shaped to provide stronger pull at mid and high revs in all gears.

The eight-speed dual-clutch oil-bath transmission, first introduced with the SF90 Stradale to widespread acclaim, has been further optimized with a more powerful control unit and deeper integration with the engine software, improving shift smoothness and speed.

Overall powertrain efficiency benefits from solutions such as the dry-sump gearbox configuration, low-friction bevel gear, and clutch torque management strategies that ensure extremely smooth urban driving, especially during Start&Stop phases.

Sound design also received special attention: a new silencer layout was developed to meet the strictest noise emission regulations without compromising Ferrari's signature tone. The flat-plane crankshaft and equal-length exhaust headers contribute to a distinctive firing sequence. The exhaust system features a ceramic matrix catalyst with a trimetallic coating (rhodium, platinum, palladium), with reduced activation times thanks to lower thermal inertia. Sound control is managed by a new proportionally controlled bypass valve with dedicated maps to adapt the exhaust note to different driving conditions.

EXTERIOR

The Ferrari Amalfi represents a new interpretation of the archetype of the 2+ coupé berlinetta with a front-mid-mounted V8 engine, blending tradition and innovation in a design language that evolves the aesthetic standards of the Maranello marque. The Ferrari Styling Centre team, led by Flavio Manzoni, drew inspiration from the elegant proportions of the Ferrari Roma, pushing further to define a more sculpted and modern form without betraying the essence of Ferrari's 2+ sports cars.

The exterior design develops from a sleek, monolithic speedform that gives the car a strong and dynamic identity. The surfaces are treated with a minimalist approach, where sharp lines and geometric volumes define a sculpted and coherent body. The wedge-shaped theme running along the side, together with the lighting units integrated into technical cuts, contributes to a refined and contemporary aesthetic. The front, devoid of a traditional grille, is distinguished by a floating body-coloured wing above a dark recessed band, discreetly integrating sensors and headlights. The lower splitter completes the composition, emphasizing the visual width and sportiness of the whole.

The rear is defined by a strong character line that wraps around the entire volume, culminating in a compact and clean tail. The tail lights are hidden within essential graphic cuts, evoking classic Ferraris while using a modern visual language. The wide and functional diffuser openly declares its aerodynamic purpose, while the rear screen merges with the spoiler profile, creating a distinctive stylistic signature. Highlighting the car's personality, the launch colour, Verde Costiera - a brilliant teal green inspired by the reflections of the sea along the Amalfi coast - enhances the sculpted surfaces and brings a fresh, vibrant look to the whole.

INTERIOR

Inside, the Ferrari Amalfi adopts a dual-cockpit layout that envelops both driver and passenger in two visually connected cells, linked by the dashboard, door panels, and central tunnel. The cocoon effect is enhanced by a faceted surface that breaks the symmetry and highlights the central touchscreen display, creating a formal interaction between the two occupants. The interior design has been simplified to achieve a clean and contemporary language, with extensive use of premium materials and integrated technological solutions.

The dashboard features, for the first time, a monolithic layout in which the instrument cluster and air vents are fused into a single block. The central tunnel, milled from a block of anodized aluminium, is suspended and sculpted, housing functional elements such as the gear selector gate, key slot, wireless charging pad, and secondary controls. The door panel grips are integrated into sail-like shapes that define the two front cells, while the woofers are hidden behind perforated aluminium surfaces, contributing to a technical and refined aesthetic.

The interior colour palette reflects the car's bold character, with material and colour combinations that emphasize the concept of sportiness. Verde Bellagio, the vibrant green featured in the launch configuration, focuses attention on the front area of the cabin. Optional comfort seats are available in three sizes and are equipped with 10 air chambers for the massage function - with five programmes and three intensity levels - together with ventilation for both seat and backrest.

Completing the onboard experience, the optional Burmester® Premium Audio System delivers benchmark sound quality thanks to 14 speakers and 1,200 watts of power. Ring radiator tweeters ensure crystal-clear high frequencies, while three listening presets allow users to personalize the acoustic experience to their preferences. The materials and finish of the speakers, selected for their elegance and tactile quality, help make the cabin an immersive and sophisticated environment.

HMI

The Ferrari Amalfi's onboard experience has been designed to offer intuitive, engaging, and technologically advanced interaction, thanks to a completely renewed HMI (Human-Machine Interface) system and a series of solutions aimed at enhancing comfort and quality of life on board.

The new steering wheel, equipped with physical buttons, marks a return to tactile controls, with a layout designed to ensure maximum ergonomics and ease of recognition in all driving conditions. On the left side, the return of the iconic aluminium start button establishes an immediate connection between driver and car from the moment of ignition. The controls are functionally distributed: on the left spoke are the ADAS controls, adaptive cruise control, phone, and voice commands, while on the right are the selectors for display views, windscreen wipers, and indicators. On the back, two rotary dials manage volume and station selection.

The HMI system is structured around three main displays. The 15.6" digital instrument cluster provides all driving and vehicle dynamics information. At the centre of the dashboard, a 10.25" capacitive touchscreen allows both driver and passenger to access key functions: multimedia, radio, phone, screen mirroring, climate control, seat adjustments, and vehicle settings. Finally, the 8.8" passenger display offers a true co-driver experience, showing parameters such as G-forces and engine revs.

Connectivity is ensured through compatibility with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto®, while wireless smartphone charging is integrated into the central tunnel. The car is also equipped with the MyFerrari Connect system, which allows remote monitoring of the vehicle's status via a dedicated app.

AERODYNAMICS

The aerodynamic development of the Ferrari Amalfi is the result of a complex and meticulous project created by close collaboration between the thermo-fluid dynamics department and the Ferrari Styling Centre. The process integrated CFD simulation, wind tunnel testing, and design refinement in a shared path that led to the creation of a car that is both captivating and functional.

The result is a body sculpted in every detail, where each element serves a precise function. Among these are aerodynamic fairings positioned on the underbody in front of the front and rear wheels, which reduce drag and improve efficiency. A bypass duct above the front headlights connects the front end to the engine bay, helping to reduce pressure build-up and optimize cooling. Downforce generation at the front is managed by a pair of vortex generators, optimized in the wind tunnel, and two diffusers integrated into the splitter, which also enhance front brake ventilation.

The underbody has been designed to maximize efficiency, with dedicated devices to reduce drag and carefully manage airflow. At the rear, the diffuser has been completely redesigned to find the best compromise between downforce and drag, with controlled expansion of the flow in the central channel that energizes the wake and improves stability.

A distinctive element of the rear is the active mobile wing, harmoniously integrated into the tail of the car. This component can assume three configurations - Low Drag (LD), Medium Downforce (MD), and High Downforce (HD) - depending on speed, longitudinal, and lateral acceleration. On straights, the wing remains in LD or MD position to minimize drag, while during more dynamic driving phases, such as high-speed cornering or hard braking, it switches to HD configuration, generating an increase in downforce of 110 kg at 250 km/h with less than a 4% increase in drag. The intermediate MD position allows for a quicker transition to full deployment, offering a balance between stability and performance. The wing's operation is fully automatic, preserving the purity of the car's lines even at low speeds and enhancing the driving experience. The rear is completed by a 20 mm high integrated nolder which helps recompress the airflow in low-drag configuration.

The front of the car has also been optimized to ensure effective cooling in all conditions: the central area houses the engine water radiator and the air conditioning condenser, while the side intakes feed the turbocharging system's intercoolers.

VEHICLE DYNAMICS

The vehicle dynamics of the Ferrari Amalfi represent a significant evolution in the landscape of front-engined 2+ coupés, thanks to the integration of the most advanced technologies developed by Ferrari in recent years. At the heart of this system is the introduction of brake-by-wire, a solution that significantly improves braking efficiency, reduces pedal travel, and enhances modulation - even in situations where ABS is engaged.

The ABS Evo system, first introduced on the 296 GTB and further developed for the Ferrari Purosangue and Ferrari 12Cilindri, has been adapted to ensure optimal performance on all surfaces and in all Manettino modes. This controller uses data from the 6D sensor to precisely estimate the vehicle's speed and determine the optimal slip for each wheel, thereby optimizing brake force distribution. The result is greater effectiveness in straight-line braking and in mixed conditions, where lateral stability and longitudinal deceleration must be balanced.

The precision of these estimates also allows for greater repeatability of manoeuvres, reducing variations caused by mechanical tolerances or environmental conditions, such as tarmac temperature. This approach is part of the Side Slip Control (SSC) 6.1 framework, which serves as the common language among all dynamic controllers - from steering to torque management and vertical body motion control - to maximize performance in every situation.

A further advancement is the grip estimation system based on EPS (Electric Power Steering), an evolution of the version introduced on the 296 GTB. In this new iteration, grip estimation is 10% faster and more accurate, even on surfaces with very low traction. The recognition logic uses the dynamics of the electric steering box and the yaw angle estimated by SSC 6.1 to assess tyre-to-tarmac grip levels, even when not driving on the limit, improving the responsiveness and effectiveness of the controllers.

To support vehicle dynamics, the Ferrari Amalfi also employs a rear active spoiler, which is activated depending on longitudinal and lateral acceleration. In dynamic driving conditions - such as hard braking or high-speed cornering - the spoiler automatically shifts to the High Downforce configuration, generating additional rear aerodynamic downforce and contributing to the car's overall stability.

In terms of safety and driver assistance, the Ferrari Amalfi is equipped with a comprehensive suite of next-generation ADAS systems. Available features include: Adaptive Cruise Control, Automatic Emergency Braking, Blind Spot Detection, Lane Departure Warning, Lane Keeping Assist, automatic high beam, traffic sign recognition and assistance and driver drowsiness and distraction detection, as well as optional Surround View and Rear Cross Traffic Alert. All systems are configurable via the instrument cluster menus and integrate seamlessly with the car's electronic architecture, which includes front and rear radar, cameras, and dedicated control units.

Together, these technologies enable the Ferrari Amalfi to deliver a precise, responsive, and engaging driving experience, where every system works in harmony to ensure maximum control and driving pleasure - regardless of road conditions or driving style.

TYRES

The choice of tyres for the Ferrari Amalfi was guided by a careful balance between aesthetics, performance, and comfort. The 20" wheels were selected to maintain the harmonious proportions consistent with the car's design language, without compromising ride quality. To ensure maximum comfort, the sidewall aspect ratio chosen for the Ferrari Roma was retained, ensuring progressive response and good absorption of road imperfections.

The tyre dimensions are 245/35 R20 at the front and 285/35 R20 at the rear, a configuration that balances agility and traction, contributing to the car's precise and responsive dynamics. The Ferrari Amalfi comes standard with tyres co-developed with two technical partners: Bridgestone Potenza Sport and Pirelli P ZERO.
