Ferrari has unveiled the new Amalfi grand tourer, which unofficially replaces the Roma. Early tests in Portugal reveal that the Italians have seriously addressed the key shortcomings of its predecessor, making this model stand out among cars. The main changes focus on the chassis.

While the Roma was criticized for overly stiff suspension and abrupt brake response, the Amalfi has become more balanced. The suspension is tuned softer, and the braking system offers a smoother feel, better aligning with the philosophy of a classic GT.

The powertrain remains unchanged—a 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8, already established as one of the best in the industry. It delivers powerful performance while maintaining comfort on long journeys. Externally, the car retains the recognizable features of the Roma, including the distinctive rear end with four lights, but it has received updated design details.

Ferrari traditionally avoids the term "facelift," preferring to present each refined model as new. Against the backdrop of competition in the segment of the best GT-class cars, the Amalfi showcases an evolutionary approach: not a revolution, but targeted improvements to an already strong concept.

Ferrari has done exactly what fans expected—removed excessive stiffness and added comfort. The Amalfi appears as a more mature and versatile version of the Roma, capable of attracting a broader audience.
