Ciao everyone, here it's Marchettino and straight from Frankfurt Motor Show, here we have a news from Ferrari, and what a Ferrari!
Just a couple of days ago, Ferrari unveiled in the city of Portofino their latest model, the Ferrari Portofino,
an hommage to the beautiful ligurean city and now let's go have a look!
The Ferrari Portofino replaces the California, which has been a very successful model for the company.
If you think this is nothing but a massive restyling well you're wrong,
if you think that from the California to the California T the model has gone through a massive evolution in terms of style and mechanical, well this car is completely new!
In terms of style, I think the Ferrari Portofino is nicely done, it's much more aggressive and willowy than the California
and look at the front, very aggressive and menacing, FF anyone?
As I mentioned, it's a completely new model, new chassis, new roof, everything new except the engine which is a modified version of the 3.8L twin turbo V8 we already found on the California T
and this time the bar has been raised again, especially for a GT of this category!
The power raises to 600hp and 760nm of torque!
If you think about it, those figures are insane if you think that the Portofino is the new entry level model of the brand.
It's crazy to think also that until recent times if you wanted a car with this power you had to go for a V12,
a decade ago 600hp was a hypercar territory, just insane!
Look at the engine bay, it's such a masterpiece!
This is the V8 of the Portofino that moves it to 100kph in just 3,5s with a top speed of over 320kph!
There's lots of beautiful details on this car, for example have a look here how does the air flows to create a better aaerodynamic flow!
Amazing!
Seats are not bad, they're very thin but behind the wheel they're very comfy and hold your side very well.
Here we are inside the Ferrari Portofino, what can I say is that the interior has been updated, the quality has been improved (finally, have to say!)
And I have to say the quality of the interior is really good! Here we can see a big 12 inch display,
also the infotainment system is completely new.
It's a 2+2 but honestly there's not much room in the back!
Behind the wheel we find the paddles, this car is available just with a double clutch, it's an improved and quicker version compared to the California T
The steering wheel is new, I have to say I'm not a fan of it with this design
with this piece so tight and large.
Here we find a new updated version of the Manettino still with 3 options,
honestly if there's something I've never understood of the California and Portofino is the fact to give just the possibility to the driver to have just 3 settings,
Comfort, Sport and ESC OFF with all the electronics off.
If you think about that, on models like the 488 or 812 there's many more options that allow to drive the car with the electronics partially off but here we don't find something inbetween,
we find Sport with electronics on and ESC OFF with everything off, considering we're talking about a big power on this car
I think they had to add something inbetween.
Red is a colour that really suits the Portofino but I have to say that here at the Ferrari stand there's another one I really like with the configuration,
this one is matte silver with cuoio interior, really beautiful!
A classy configuration that really suits to this car!
And this is the shape of the roof when the hard top is up!
I find it really beautiful with the roof down and up!
So guys what do you think of the Ferrari Portofino?
