Ferrari brought its new Amalfi grand tourer to China for a coastal test drive event at Aranya, a seaside resort town in Hebei province, according to Autohome. The model, which succeeds the Roma, was presented against the backdrop of the Bohai coast, a setting Ferrari chose to evoke the Amalfi Coast in southern Italy.
Design and aerodynamics
The Amalfi features a cleaner front end than the Roma, with a honeycomb grille and body-coloured splitter that give it a more integrated, elegant stance. Carbon-fibre accents on the sides add a sporty touch. The long bonnet hints at the front-mid-engine layout, while the fastback roofline flows into a short tail, a silhouette that carries some British GT character.
At the rear, four horizontal tail lights are a classic Ferrari signature. A hidden active spoiler deploys automatically at speeds above 90 km/h (56 mph), rising 20 degrees, and extends to 50 degrees under heavy braking to add 110 kg of downforce. Quad exhaust pipes complete the aggressive rear view.
The car rides on 20-inch gloss-finish wheels with Brembo six-piston calipers and carbon-ceramic brakes, standard equipment for Ferrari performance models.
Interior and technology
Inside, the Amalfi has a dual-cockpit layout with carbon-fibre trim, leather upholstery and a shift area styled after classic manual gear levers. A large digital instrument cluster keeps the rev counter central, while a touchscreen above 10 inches on the centre console now supports CarPlay, a shift from previous models where the interface was housed in the instrument binnacle. A small screen in front of the passenger displays revs, gear and speed.
Practical touches include cup holders, a wireless charging pad and a slot designed to hold the Ferrari key. The two rear seats are described as more of a storage space than usable seating.
The Amalfi was shown in a Verde Costiera paint finish, an Italian term for "coastal blue-green," which shifts between emerald and blue depending on the light. No pricing or powertrain details were disclosed in the report.
