Ferrari Amalfi

The Ferrari Amalfi features a versatile cabin designed for both performance-oriented driving and long-distance cruising. Its front row offers plenty of headroom and legroom for both the driver and the co-pilot, while the rear can accommodate two small children. For added practicality, this grand tourer also comes with a 273-L boot space at the back. In terms of comfort, its seats are plush and ergonomic.

Ferrari also went all out with the Amalfi’s modern technology, highlighted by its ‘monolithic dashboard layout.’ Up front, the driver has access to a 15.6-inch instrument cluster, while the co-pilot also gets an 8.8-inch passenger screen for a more personalized entertainment experience. The driver also gets a sporty steering wheel with physical buttons, which allow for easier control of interior features.

Aside from that, this grand tourer is fitted with a new 10.25-inch central touchscreen display that has wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Bluetooth connectivity, and is connected to a 14-speaker Burmester Premium Audio System, delivering high-quality sound acoustics around the cabin. You also get a wireless charging pad for your smartphone. All things considered, the Amalfi’s cabin offers an impressive mix of comfort, modern functionality, and decent practicality.

In terms of dimensions, the Ferrari Amalfi measures 4,660 mm in length, 1,974 mm in width, and 1,301 mm in height. This grand tourer also has a wheelbase of 2,670 mm. 

Appearance-wise, the Ferrari Amalfi strikes a balance between confidence and elegance. It looks sporty and restrained at the same time. Its smooth, modern-looking fascia is flanked by blade-like LED headlamps, connected by a sleek black panel that gives it a look reminiscent of the 12Cilindri. Underneath, this grand tourer is fitted with sensors concealed behind a blacked-out lower grille.

Meanwhile, its side profile exudes a futuristic appeal, accentuated by its flush door handles, sleek character lines and curves, as well as 20-inch wheels with dynamic-looking rims. At the rear, an automatically-adjustable active wing helps optimize aerodynamics by reducing drag or increasing downforce depending on your current driving conditions. This grand tourer flaunts slim LED tail lights and a quad exhaust setup, which adds more sportiness to its overall appearance on the road.

The Ferrari Amalfi features a MagneRide suspension system. This suspension delivers an outstanding blend of comfort and sportiness both in the city and on the highway. It hits sharp turns and winding roads with precision and confidence while remaining adaptable across a variety of road conditions. Overall, this grand tourer can provide you and your passengers with a supple riding experience, even on long-distance trips.

The Ferrari Amalfi is powered by a 3.9L twin-turbo V8 engine that produces 640 cv (631 hp) of maximum power and 760 Nm of maximum torque. It achieves a maximum speed of 320 kmph and can go from 0 to 100 kmph in just 3.3 seconds. Additionally, this grand tourer comes mated to an 8-speed F1 dual-clutch transmission system and utilizes a rear-wheel drivetrain. 

The Amalfi feels exhilarating on the highway yet remains refined at lower speeds. Its F1 responsive F1 DCT also allows for seamless upshifting and downshifting out on the open road, enhancing the driver’s overall cruising experience. And, this grand tourer is a feasible daily driver if fuel costs are not an issue for you.

The Amalfi’s standard ceramic brakes are supported by Ferrari’s brake-by-wire technology, delivering an improved pedal feel and a faster braking response. In terms of safety, this grand tourer is also equipped with Ferrari’s Side Slip Control (SSC) 6.1, Dynamic Enhancer (FDE) 2.0, ABS EVO in all Manettino positions, as well as an F1 Traction Control System (F1-TCS), among others.

In my opinion, the Amalfi is currently one of the most versatile Ferrari models available in the local market. It hits the sweet spot for discerning buyers seeking a sports car that is easy to live with on a daily basis. This grand tourer is very enjoyable to drive out on the open road yet remains usable in the city.
