Ferrari Amalfi

[Ascender]

"Facelifted" Roma... I say facelift, but they seem to have just done away with any sort of face on the front end.

640bhp V8... £205K without options

Looks like they got rid of the awful body coloured grill section at least.

I have seen a Roma around these parts 5 or 6 times. Not a fan. They look big and heavy amongst the rest of the traffic, and I always get the impression the original design was melted a bit before they moved forward to production.

edit: carsized confirms that they aren't actually that big. Not dissimilar to a DB11, but to my eyes the latter looks much lower and wider. I think its to do with the high hip-line of the Roma (which the Amalfi seems to share) and the relatively raised ride height

Wasn’t it meant to be a Maserati before Ferrari decided they’d like the design - could be a fake rumour though.

I think it’s an improvement, the grill on the last one was awkward and it now has actual buttons inside. Still has a V8. The Ferrari line up is now quite odd. The baby Ferrari has a V8, the SUV has a V12 but the mid engine one has a V6.

Someone messed up.

Actual buttons on the steering wheel are a good step forward.

The looks of the Roma have grown over me on time and when I was looking at a Lusso, I had a nose around a few of them in the dealer and I really liked it.

Going back to the cost... these are going to be 250-300K

And yes, the lineup is a bit all over the place isn't it?

I had a look at this last week, I liked it very much.

And was offered a 25k off a brand new M4, but it had too much carbon outside for me and looked a bit chavvy

ETA - I actually prefer the Roma to this design, but the buttons on the steering wheel were annoying

Just down the road from here ! That place appeared a couple of years ago, it used to be an Audi showroom. I looked up the company background at the time and it's owned by a 20-something Chinese national. Got to be international tax loophole exploitation / money laundering

They were 23yo when they started the company.

That's very nice indeed. I prefer the front of the Roma to the new one, which I know isn't a popular opinion, but it grew on me.

That's definitely an improvement. But using what appears to be facelift Tesla Model Y front lights in an attempt to give it a bit of a 12cilindri face doesn't really work as an alternative. Otherwise it looks very similar to a Roma. I did read or hear that the Roma was ceasing production but changing the name and the headlights and some buttons isn't really a new model.

[Mito Man]

It's always what Ferrari have done, they just like to give their facelift models a new name.

I know, but they didn't with the Mondial. And a lot of the name changes were because the name was the engine specs and they changed.

I saw a convertible Roma last night. The roof (up) design looked a bit shit, the way it met with the boot lid looked like a rush job.

When I was looking for the Touring, only 3/4 out of the 50 or so cars in the dealer network had been specced with everything I was looking for which meant the ultimate pack, which meant all the carbon exterior stuff. Which is much more obvious on some exterior colours than others.

Although the first one I looked at in Daytona Techno Violet had the extra "performance" stuff like the carbon canards on the front bumper and the triangular style exhaust along with the side carbon wing things too.
