The 2026 Ferrari Amalfi will be priced from $503,261 before options and on-road costs, representing a $50,000 increase over the Roma grand tourer it replaces.
Ferrari’s new ‘entry-level’ model made its Australian public debut this week, when it was presented to clients and media in Melbourne before being whisked off back to Italy.
Local orders for the replacement for the Italian performance car brand’s most attainable model are now open, ahead of first deliveries commencing in the second half of 2026.

While the Amalfi appears to be a facelifted Roma, the Prancing Horse brand says it has applied a number of changes and new developments across the board to warrant the rename.
The powertrain, chassis control systems, steering and braking are all revised to produce a package that, according to Ferrari, provides a significantly broader spread between relaxed touring capability and hard-edged performance.
Perhaps more significant is the fact the most polarising elements of the Roma have been addressed – namely the awkward perforated grille and the hit-and-miss haptic controls on the steering wheel, which are now replaced by physical buttons, plus the return of an aluminium start button.
Visually, the Amalfi (which carries over no body panels from the Roma) shares a clear family resemblance with the 12Cilindri, sporting slit-like headlights that peer out from within a dark recessed band positioned below a visor-mimicking panel at the front.
A similar theme is applied at the rear, where the tail-lights are hidden within what Ferrari refers to as “graphical cuts”. An active rear spoiler with three positions – Low Drag, Medium Downforce and High Downforce – is neatly integrated into the rump, and in its most aggressive setting it’s claimed to generate 110kg of downforce over the rear axle at 250km/h.
Once again at its heart is the F154 90-degree, flat-plane V8 that displaces 3855cc, but it features new lightweight camshafts (which save 1.3kg) and even the engine block has been redesigned to save another 1kg.
As a result, peak power has risen to 471kW (up from 456kW) while torque remains unchanged at 760Nm. The power increase is the result of a new turbocharging management system, enabling independent control of the two turbochargers’ rotational speed , and an increase in maximum turbo speed to 171,000rpm.
Ferrari says this improves throttle response and boosts pressure control precision, thanks also to the introduction of dedicated pressure sensors for each cylinder bank.
Zero to 100km/h acceleration takes a claimed 3.3 seconds (down 0.1 seconds), while 0-200km/h acceleration is three-10ths quicker at 9.0 seconds. While the raw performance figures aren’t all that different, Ferrari says the Amalfi offers much sharper response from behind the wheel thanks to the V8’s lower reciprocating masses and revised turbocharger setup.
Like the Ferrari 296, 12Cilindri and Purosangue, the new Amalfi picks up a brake-by-wire system featuring ABS Evo, which is claimed to enhance modulation while reducing pedal travel, and improving braking efficiency.
The Amalfi is capable of coming to a standstill from 100km/h in just 30.8 metres, and Ferrari says 200km/h can be wiped off in 119.5 metres.
