The Ferrari Amalfi makes a persuasive case for judging a grand tourer by the controls you touch every day. If that is the Ferrari experience you want, start an Amalfi sourcing brief with Big Boy Exotics. We source cars nationwide across the United States, with the specification shaped around how you intend to use them.
Ferrari unveiled the Amalfi coupe on July 1, 2025, as the Roma’s successor. Its launch announcement describes a front-mid-mounted twin-turbo V8 and a 2+ cabin. This guide concerns the cabin and engineering, not current US inventory or a promised delivery date.
A meaningful return to touch
The new steering wheel brings physical buttons and an aluminum engine-start button. Ferrari also places rotary controls for volume and station selection behind the wheel. These are modest-looking changes beside a sculpted body or an engine specification, but they affect the ritual of every drive. Finding a control by feel can make a cabin easier to learn, especially when the same action is repeated hundreds of times.
That is the editorial significance of the Amalfi’s interior: usability has become part of the performance conversation. A car bought for weekends still spends time leaving parking garages, answering navigation prompts and adjusting its cabin temperature. A beautiful interface earns its place by helping those ordinary moments pass naturally. Buyers should experience the actual control layout before deciding that a color or carbon-fiber option deserves greater priority.
The central touchscreen remains, measuring 10.25 inches. Physical controls therefore sit within a digital environment. During a viewing, try the functions you actually use: entering a destination, changing audio sources and returning to the preferred driving display. An interface can look intuitive in a photograph while taking practice in person. Familiarity matters more than the number of screens.

The quiet work behind the clean shape
The active rear wing has three operating configurations. Ferrari’s model information identifies low-drag, medium-downforce and high-downforce positions, with approximately 243 pounds of downforce in the highest setting at approximately 155 mph. Those are high-speed engineering figures, not benefits to expect while crossing town. The interesting design achievement is packaging movable aerodynamic hardware within an otherwise restrained tail.
It suggests a broader way to read the car. The Amalfi’s visual simplicity does not mean its engineering is simple. Equally, intricate hardware does not tell you whether the cabin suits a long drive. The exterior, controls and seating need to make sense together. A buyer who loves the silhouette but dislikes the driving position has learned something more useful than another acceleration statistic.
Choose the touring experience first
The Roma grand-touring fit guide provides a useful starting point for comparing the predecessor’s role in a garage. For the Amalfi, prioritize the driving position, passenger space and the luggage you genuinely carry. Treat the rear accommodation as something to try in person, rather than assuming the 2+ description guarantees comfortable adult seating.
Our view is that the most convincing Amalfi will be the one whose cabin and equipment encourage its owner to take a longer route. The tactile changes deserve particular attention because their value is experienced repeatedly, at ordinary speeds. Bring that intended use, your preferred colors and a realistic purchase window to Big Boy Exotics for a nationwide US sourcing search.
