The most under-rated (and most beautiful) Ferrari on the market today. For an 'entry-level' car, what more could you ask for? Power like mad, tour-ability, versatility, gorgeous looks and mystique in quarts, there is not too many reasons to trade-up unless you really have to have the top shelf, almost-a-race-car, performance of the other steeds in the Ferrari stables... and a lot of money with nothing to do. It's the ONLY retractable hardtop on the market that gets that formula just right. Looks great up, looks even better down.

This is my actually car after a California DCT (2012-2018) and a California T (2018-2020). Portofino is absolutely the best in Ferrari production, for its ability to be a double car in one, a gorgeous spider or an elegant berlinetta. Very upgrated in interior comfort, in doubleclutch sequential gear speed, in handling versus Californias ... really a great car both you drive quite in saturday morning shopping or in Monza circuit. Portofino hasn't competitors all around the world. Portofino is THE BEST FERRARI for everyday maximum satisfaction. Great !!!

I was invited to test drive this recently on a sunny day. It’s wonderful & would be a capable daily driver. I liked putting the roof down up to 27mph which is handy if stuck in slow traffic. It’s more than fast enough for today’s speed limited roads & could be fun on a track. I’ve not stopped thinking about it! I own a 1988 Mondial 3.2 like Chris Harris owns & I’d still keep that tho as well if possible, the Portofino M gives less expense on repairs!

My previous vote for the best looking car ever was the 2012 Vanquish, which eventually evolved into the Vanquish S, with the 6.0 V12 and gen 3 8-speed ZF gearbox, an truly enjoyable car notorious for its excellent exhaust note from reasonably low revs. I think Zagato correctly noted the rear lights of the Vanquish needed rounded taillights, although that designs ended lacking in elegance. Amazingly, Ferrari managed to make an equally beautiful car, if not even better looking one, in the Portofino M. But there's so much more to it. Excellent dynamics, very modern interior, practicality, convertible without sacrificing nothing when the roof is up. Best of all, for someone that can afford cars in that price bracket, the Portofino M isn't an limited edition car attainable by few, but actually the least expensive Ferrari. When Ferrari stopped working with Pininfarina, it seemed they lost the plot with exterior design. It's good to see the refinement is back with cars like the Portofino and the 488 Pista.

Though this may be irrelevant, as I said before about the Roma v Contimental v DB11 video, I’m sure Ferrari could have easily eked out an extra 1mph to get to 200mph with the extra power, but they probably decided not to for the Portofino M seeing as it’s supposed to be one of the entry level cars in Ferrari’s model line-up, along with the Roma.
@TheFlashSpeedforce3 жыл бұрын
If you're coming to your first over 550Hp automobile, which also happens to be an exotic car (meaning really expen$$ive car), this is the perfect entry point. If this is your first 550+ Hp engine, you're probably coming from a front engined, rear wheel drive car, which probably also had front weight bias , and a front/high CG. This is a way better transition car, than to get straight into a mid-engine or rear-engine high Hp car. Those will have lower and better CG, true , but usually have a snappy personality mid-corner ( specially if you're either trail braking for too long or are used to quick lifting on the throttle anywhere from corner entry to mid appex, a behavior which front engine cars are more forgiving of ) , additionally the polar moment of inertia of a car with main mass located behind the driver will easily ruin your day with its push-in tendecies in tight sweeps and cornering maneuvers. This design will be far more forgiving.
