New Ferrari Amalfi: Vicki Butler-Henderson's First Drive Verdict

Vicki Butler-Henderson drives the Ferrari Amalfi, Ferrari’s new grand tourer that replaces the Roma. Powered by a revised 3.9 litre twin turbo V8 producing 640hp, the Amalfi focuses on balance, usability and everyday confidence without losing Ferrari performance. It features subtle exterior changes, revised aerodynamics and a refreshed interior, including the welcome return of physical buttons on the steering wheel and a proper aluminium start button. The dual display cabin brings updated technology and improved usability, while retaining the elegance expected of a Ferrari GT. The Amalfi rides on 20 inch wheels, with Michelin tyres available as a factory fit option developed in collaboration with Ferrari, designed to support its balance between comfort, grip and handling on real roads. Vicki also tests the Amalfi’s launch control system, exploring how it delivers its power from a standstill, how easily it can light up the rear tyres, and how controlled it feels when traction is pushed to the limit. So, does the Amalfi successfully rewrite the Roma formula and deliver Ferrari’s most balanced GT yet? Vicki takes it out for a full drive to find out. 🎬 Watch our latest videos and subscribe: @DriverReviews 🔍 Find out more about DriverReviews: https://www.driverreviews.com/ -- About Us – We are here to help save motorists time and effort in the process of researching and selecting new tyres for their vehicles; by providing expert content, help, advice, and thousands of consumer reviews to support finding the right tyres for their vehicle.
