Speaking on the subject, Marco Sambaldi said, “Our 20-year partnership with FerMas is a great privilege for us. FerMas has always been an important partner for us. We thank FerMas for representing us in this way for so long. FerMas carries out this representation extremely successfully both in this country and in this market.

Therefore, we thank the FerMas team very much for what they have done for us so far and for what they will do in our future partnership. Developed from our Roma model, Amalfi reflects the 'Dolce Vita' of the 70s, an Italian way of life.”
Güçlü Yakal, the General Manager of FerMas, stated that FerMas was established by Tofaş in April 2005, and added, “Our opening ceremony was held on August 18, 2005, with the participation of Michael Schumacher, one of the legendary drivers of Formula 1. 20 years is a significant period in such a valuable industry. Ferrari, as Marco Sambaldi said, is not just a sports car, but actually a very special group. Our showroom location on the Bosphorus is in one of the most prestigious spots in Istanbul, and our service structure is located in Vadi İstanbul, a very easily accessible and central location. Our teams are also highly experienced and follow their work flawlessly. We will continue with the desire to provide top-level service in the future, just as we have done until now.”
Ferrari is preparing to launch the Amalfi, a 2+ coupe model with a front-mid V8 engine developed with high engineering expertise, in Türkiye in February. Developed at Ferrari Roma and reflecting the "Dolce Vita" (Sweet Life) spirit of the 70s, FerMas has started taking pre-orders for the Amalfi.
Developed by the Ferrari Design Center under the leadership of Flavio Manzoni, the Amalfi is designed with a modern form while remaining true to the essence of the brand's 2+ sports cars. Key technical specifications include: 0-100 km/h acceleration in 3,3 seconds and 0-200 km/h in 9,0 seconds. It boasts best-in-class power output of 2,29 kg/hp. The 8-speed dual-clutch transmission, first introduced in the SF90 Stradale, provides fast and smooth gear changes. Other notable features include a dual cockpit layout, a new steering wheel with physical buttons, and the iconic starter button.
The new Ferrari Amalfi models, which stand out with their high-tech interior and comfort features, are scheduled to be delivered to their first owners starting in February.
