The engine redline has been revised to 7,600rpm, and the Manettino settings have been adjusted for more forgiving Wet and Comfort modes.
### The Spirit of the Amalfi Coast
The name Amalfi is inspired by the reflections of the sea along the Amalfi coast in Italy. This influence is evident in the car's design, which exudes a relaxed yet sophisticated spirit that mirrors the Amalfi Coast. The Amalfi's launch color, Verde Costiera, is a brilliant teal green that further emphasises this connection to the coast.
### First Deliveries and Pricing
First deliveries of the Ferrari Amalfi are due in early 2026, with the car expected to be priced upwards of €240,000 (£206,000) in Italy. The Ferrari Amalfi promises to be a compelling addition to Ferrari's lineup, bridging classic GT grandeur with modern performance and style.
