The new Ferrari Amalfi is here with good news under the hood

This is the new Ferrari Amalfi, which replaces the Ferrari Roma as Ferrari’s new entry-level supercar.

And you can kind of tell it replaces the Roma, because it looks almost identical.

In fact, from behind, it’s hard to tell the difference between the two.

But looks aside, there’s a lot that’s new about this supercar, including the engine.

The new Ferrari Amalfi has a great surprise under the hood

Named after the coastal town near Naples, the new Ferrari Amalfi replaces the Ferrari Roma as the Ferrari’s new entry-level supercar, which is a strange expression, because it still costs a lot of money.

Visually, it has the name proportions and design language, and even keen-eyed Ferrari fans might find it difficult to tell the difference, especially from the back.

That’s because the front bumper was completely redesigned and it now features a blacked-out grille.

There are more changes inside, though.

There are separate dashboards, one for the driver and one for the passenger, which is a bit slimmer (because it doesn’t need to include the speedometer).

There are also more buttons than before, including a physical start button.

Ferrari is evidently joining the growing list of manufacturers that are choosing to bring back physical buttons and dials.

The best part about this car is the engine

The engine is probably the best part because, drum roll, it’s still a V8.

Ferrari took the old V8 out of the Roma, replaced a few things and slammed it back under the hood.

As a result, the 3,855CC (3.8-liter) V8 now puts out 631 horsepower, nearly 20 more than the predecessor, and it revs higher.

The car is also lighter, tipping the scales at 1,470 kilograms (3,240 pounds).

It does 0-62mph in 3.3 seconds, 0-124mph (200km/h) in 9 seconds, and the top speed is 320km/h (200mph).

The car is only available as a coupe, even though a droptop version will almost certainly arrive at some point.

The MSRP hasn’t been revealed yet but it costs €240,000 in Italy, equivalent to $280,000, which is almost exactly what the old Roma cost.

So we can expect similar pricing on the Amalfi.
