La Dolce Vita hits local shores: 2026 Ferrari Amalfi arrives in the Philippines
The successor to the Roma brings a sharper edge, more power, and a refined interior to the streets of Manila.
The Prancing Horse has a new gateway to its stable in the Philippines. Velocità Motors Inc., the official importer and distributor of Ferrari in the country, has officially pulled the wraps off the 2026 Ferrari Amalfi. Serving as the direct successor to the Roma, the Amalfi arrives with a blend of familiar grand touring elegance and a significant mechanical shot in the arm.

While the silhouette remains unmistakably like the Ferrari Roma, the Amalfi introduces a sharper, more contemporary aesthetic. The most striking change is at the front, where the LED headlights are now visually connected by a sleek black trim piece, a design language reminiscent of the 12Cilindri. Ferrari claims that nearly every body panel has been revised, including new character lines along the profile that add a bit more muscularity than those of its predecessor. Even the 20-inch wheels are a work of art, milled from solid aluminum for a distinct, high-end finish.

Under that long, sculpted hood lies the heart of the beast: an updated 3.9-liter twin-turbo V8. Maranello’s engineers have managed to squeeze an additional 20 horses out of the power plant, bringing the total output to 640 PS while maintaining a stout 760 Nm of torque. Paired with an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission, the Amalfi sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.3 seconds—shaving a tenth off the Roma's time—on its way to a top speed exceeding 320 km/h.

The interior sees perhaps the most welcome transformation. Ferrari has moved away from the vertical, "floating" console of the previous generation in favor of a more traditional and driver-centric horizontal “monolithic” dashboard. In a move that will likely please purists, the brand has brought back more physical controls, including a tactile engine start button. Technophiles aren't left behind, however, as the cabin features a massive 15.6-inch digital gauge cluster for the driver, a 10.25-inch central infotainment screen with full smartphone integration, and a dedicated 8.8-inch display for the passenger to monitor performance data.

On the technical side, the Amalfi introduces a new electric power steering system that is reportedly 10% faster and more accurate, alongside an improved brake-by-wire system for better modulation during spirited drives. The active rear spoiler has also been repositioned to the very tip of the rear deck to optimize downforce across its three distinct positions.

Given the blend of daily usability and sharpened performance, it’s poised to remain a favorite for those looking for the perfect Italian grand tourer on Philippine roads.
