Why the 2027 Ferrari Amalfi Is Not Your Typical Supercar

Why the 2027 Ferrari Amalfi Is Not Your Typical Supercar

The 2027 Ferrari Amalfi is not chasing Nürburgring records or flaunting aggressive wings. Instead, it brings a refined, emotionally driven experience that embraces the beauty of cruising and elegance without sacrificing Ferrari performance. The name says it all—Amalfi, a destination known for scenic coastal drives, luxurious escapes, and iconic Italian flair. Painted in the soft yet vivid Verde Costiera, this coupe seems designed as much for taking in views as it is for being viewed.

Underneath its sleek front-mid-engine proportions lies a revised version of Ferrari’s 3.9-liter twin-turbocharged V8. This flat-plane-crank powerplant now produces 631 horsepower—19 more than the Ferrari Roma it replaces. Ferrari engineers focused on small but meaningful upgrades, such as shaving 2.9 pounds off the camshafts, to improve throttle response and rev-happiness. The result? A sprint from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just over 3 seconds and a top speed of 199 miles per hour. In other words, it is still every bit a Ferrari under that relaxed exterior.

The Amalfi offers a cabin that blends futuristic tech with welcome practicality. The center console features a brushed aluminum finish and an inset for the key fob. On the passenger side, a dedicated display allows access to performance readouts and comfort controls like seat heating and massage functions. In a nod to customer feedback, Ferrari has brought back physical buttons to the steering wheel—most notably the red engine start button. The brand has walked back from its push for full capacitive controls after hearing from owners who missed the tactile experience.

Although the interior looks like a two-seater at first glance, there are usable rear seats in the back. They may not be ideal for cross-country drives, but they can accommodate adults for shorter trips or serve as extra space for bags or groceries. There is even enough room in the trunk for a golf bag, thanks to a deep cutout behind the rear bumper designed to fit a driver without forcing it in at an awkward angle.

From the outside, the Amalfi retains the same wheelbase and general shape as the Roma, but the front fascia signals a fresh chapter. It borrows styling cues from the F80 concept with a grille-less face and blacked-out paneling between the headlights, avoiding the traditional “face” look. The wheels feature hollowed-out spokes from behind, which not only save weight but add an element of depth and dynamism to the design.

The active spoiler tucked into the rear decklid deploys automatically based on speed and drive conditions. It has three stages: low drag, medium downforce, and high downforce. At 155 miles per hour, the spoiler generates 243 pounds of downforce in its most aggressive setting. However, Ferrari decided not to let owners manually raise it just to show off at a valet stand. It is all function, no fluff.

The starting price for the Amalfi is €240,000, which comes out to about $283,000, depending on exchange rates. It targets buyers who might also be eyeing a Bentley Continental GT or Aston Martin Vanquish—vehicles that prioritize grand touring comfort with supercar flair. And while Ferrari is not officially talking about a convertible version yet, the Amalfi’s name and vibe certainly hint that a droptop is probably in the pipeline.

With deliveries beginning in Europe in early 2026 and the United States market shortly after, the 2027 Ferrari Amalfi is not meant to be your track-day hero. It is for those who enjoy spirited drives down coastlines, high-speed getaways, and the kind of luxury that does not need to shout. It is a Ferrari for a different kind of driver—and maybe that is exactly what makes it so desirable.
