New Ferrari Amalfi coupe revealed - it’s not an EV

Ferrari has just pulled the covers off its latest model, the Amalfi coupé, marking another step in its evolving line-up of petrol and hybrid cars as it gears up to enter the electric vehicle (EV) market.The Amalfi, powered by a twin-turbo 3.85-litre V8 engine, is Ferrari’s newest grand tourer and the stylish successor to the popular 2019 Roma. It arrives hot on the heels of the 296 Speciale hybrid and its convertible version, which launched just two months ago.While Ferrari is preparing to debut its first all-electric model this October, with a full global reveal set for spring 2026, it’s in no rush to go fully electric. According to sources quoted by Reuters, a second EV model aimed at broader sales isn’t expected before 2028, mainly due to limited demand for high-performance luxury EVs at this stage.Visually, the Amalfi keeps similar proportions to the Roma but features a refreshed design, most notably in its new-look front end. Ferrari says the coupé delivers the thrilling performance you’d expect from the brand, paired with a more refined and versatile driving experience.“This is a true Ferrari in every sense: Powerful, advanced, and a joy to drive, but it also has a very elegant soul,” said Enrico Galliera, Ferrari’s Chief Marketing and Commercial Officer. “It offers fun behind the wheel without being too extreme, and it’s comfortable in a variety of driving conditions.”Under the bonnet, the Amalfi’s V8 engine delivers 640 horsepower, enabling a top speed of 320 km/h. It’s fitted with an active rear spoiler to help keep the car stable at high speeds.Inside the AmalfiLike the Roma, the Amalfi is a 2+2 coupé, which means it has two small rear seats—ideal for short trips or extra luggage space. The model is expected to start at €240,000 (around $281,000), with deliveries in Europe beginning in the first quarter of 2026. US deliveries will follow 3–6 months later, with slightly higher pricing due to import tariffs.While the Roma coupé has now officially gone out of production, the retractable-roof version, launched in 2023, will remain in Ferrari’s line-up for the time being.Ferrari dealerships began taking orders for the Amalfi on Tuesday. According to Galliera, client interest has already been strong, with many eager to reserve one of the first units.With the launch of the Amalfi, Ferrari continues to strike a balance between tradition and innovation, delivering high-performance machines that blend Italian design flair with cutting-edge tech, all while laying the groundwork for its electric future.
