Ferrari has announced its replacement for the Roma, and this time they’ve taken the name a little further south. The “Ferrari Amalfi” will debut in 2027 and aims to blend “modern elegance and high performance.” To be fair to Ferrari, first impressions make it seem like it’s achieving those goals in several ways.

Right off the bat, you can see that some design elements, as with its predecessor, may divide opinions amongst prancing horse fans. There’s nothing overly controversial about it, but attempts to add modern styling elements to a vehicle from one of the world’s greatest legacy manufacturers will undoubtedly upset someone, somewhere. However, it is hard to criticize the vehicle’s sporty, sleek, and distinctly Ferrari side profile.

The real notable changes have occurred inside the vehicle, which is now packed out with comfort features and features a reworked infotainment system. Said system consists of “premium audio” system from German manufacturer Burmester and a triple-display HMI. Historically, you could fairly claim Ferrari’s comfort and infotainment systems have lagged behind many of the Italian brand’s direct competitors, so this is a big step up.

Here’s what the Amalfi has under its hood

Ferrari’s latest creation features a front-mid-mounted engine, which sees the block placed behind the front axle. This tends to make the vehicle more agile and responsive. The 3.9-liter twin-turbo V8 in question packs just over 630 horsepower and can go from 0 to 60 in just 3.3 seconds.

Despite the updated interior, this is a track-focused Ferrari at heart. And that should be enough to counteract any potential headlight-related upset.

Porsche just proved the Cayenne Electric is the most impressive performance vehicle you can drive

Car, Transportation, Vehicle

I have seen the movies. I know there is no way that a car can survive in the jet blast of a plane. I remember the scene from Casino Royale. And for me, that is science. But the engineers at Porsche and Stratolaunch aren’t so sure. They operate in the real world of science, and they came together to see if the Porsche Cayenne Electric could withstand the take-off power of one of the largest and most powerful aircraft in the world. Why? Because they can and because curiosity oftentimes leads to something awesome. Spoiler alert…the car holds up. But don’t take my word for it.

The car is its own beast. It’s got the ability to keep up and play in this space. – Orlando Bloom, Porsche ambassador

Indian commits to American artistry with Signature Series

Machine, Spoke, Helmet

There is something about sitting on the back of a motorcycle that you can’t feel anywhere else. Road trips feel different on the back of a bike versus in a car. Maybe it is the solo aspect of it. Maybe there is the feeling of the wind. Who knows? What I do know is that there is nothing like a bike ride through the countryside. The winding roads, the sunsets through the visor of the helmet, all of it is unrivaled. Indian Motorcycle understands this, and they have since they became the first American motorcycle company. Now, they have dropped a new Signature Series of four motorcycles echoing their commitment to American artistry and craftsmanship.

Since 1901, Indian Motorcycle has pursued the ultimate intersection of form and function – motorcycles that are as beautiful in design as they are sophisticated in performance – Mike Kennedy, CEO of Indian Motorcycle

Is the BMW XM a perfect blend of practicality and performance

Car, Transportation, Vehicle

The BMW XM has received a bit of a mixed response, but there’s a strong argument that it’s a logical next step on from the BMW M5. Think about it, the M5 is special because it combines practicality with exceptional performance. The BMW XM does the same thing, though you’re trading a little handling quality for far more practicality.

On a recent venture in BMW’s performance SUV, I weighed up the pros and cons of BMW’s most divisive vehicle. And it may be a better choice than BMW’s flagship.
