Who said the petrol engine is dead?
The new Ferrari Amalfi 2+ coupe, which replaces the Roma in the Prancing Horse line-up, is powered by a front-mid-engine V8.
The “evolved” twin-turbo 3.9-litre V8, derived from the award-winning F154 family, delivers 477kW of power at 7500 rpm thanks to new turbocharging calibrations.
Maximum torque at 760Nm is available from 3000–5750 rpm.
The highly acclaimed eight-speed dual-clutch transmission ensures fast and smooth gear changes, with the dash from 0-100km/h achieved in 3.3 seconds.
Designed for those who want to enjoy sporty driving without sacrificing comfort and style, the Amalfi stands out for its unprecedented balance between adrenaline and everyday usability.
The performance increase was achieved through an advanced turbocharging management system, enabling independent control of the rotational speed of the two turbochargers with dedicated calibration and an increase in the maximum turbo speed up to 171,000 rpm.
In parallel, efforts were made to reduce mass, with 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 per cent 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.
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 car’s design stems from a fluid and minimalist approach, with sculpted volumes and clean surfaces that express modernity and dynamism.
The front is dominated by a large air intake and a long, sculpted bonnet housing the 640 cv turbo V8 engine.
At the rear, the integrated active spoiler contributes to high-speed stability, while forged wheels and carbon fibre details complete a sporty and sophisticated aesthetic.
Inside, the cabin adopts a dual-cockpit layout, with a new steering wheel featuring physical buttons and the return of the iconic start button.
The integrated central display and ergonomic controls ensure intuitive interaction with the car, even during dynamic driving.
Extensive use of carbon fibre and contrasting stitching adds a touch of exclusivity, while the 2+ configuration allows the rear seats to be used to significantly increase the car’s practicality, enhancing cargo capacity and allowing trips with children.
Among the features available on request is the addition of the front lifter system usable up to 35 km/h, allowing the car to easily overcome urban obstacles by raising it by up to 40mm.
Completing the onboard experience, the optional Burmester premium audio system offers an immersive sound environment, designed to accompany every journey with quality and detail.
