Ferrari Portofino vs Ferrari California T - What's changed?

Welcome to our latest video, where we take a look at some of the key differences between the New 2019 Ferrari Portofino and its predecessor the Ferrari California T.
2019 Ferrari Portofino For Sale - www.romansinternational.com/u...
Named after the picturesque and glamorous fishing village located on the Italian Riviera, the Portofino is Ferrari’s new entry-level model and the replacement for the California. This is not however just a facelifted and rebadged California but instead has been redesigned from the ground up, sitting on a totally new chassis. The Portofino weighs in 80kg lighter than the California and yet is more powerful with a heavily revised version of the 3.9L Twin-Turbo V8 now producing nearly 600bhp! This weight reduction and added power makes the Portofino capable of shooting from 0 to 62mph in 3.5s and a top speed tantalisingly close to the magic 200mph mark. The hardtop roof can be raised or lowered at up to 30mph taking just 14 seconds to complete the transformation. Once the roof is down the Portofino gives a more comfortable ride with 30% less air flow entering the cabin in comparison with the California, the climate control system has also undergone a thorough redesign to offer more cooling and heating when needed with the roof down.
Ferrari claim that this is the most usable Ferrari that money can buy for a number of reasons. Firstly, the ride is so refined and compliant, bettered further still by the optional Magneride Dual Mode Suspension, which makes the Portofino a comfortable drive over even rough B roads. Secondly the new Electronic Power Steering means that in Comfort mode, the steering is beautifully light for city driving and yet increases in weight and feel when Sport mode is selected. Finally, the simplification of the Manettino steering wheel dial to just 3 modes makes the whole car that much more approachable and usable in day-to-day use. Overall the new Portofino offers all the thrills and sound of a convertible Ferrari with the practicality and everyday usability unseen in a Ferrari until now.
2016 Ferrari California T For Sale - www.romansinternational.com/u...
The Ferrari California T is the latest and final version of the California which has proven to be one of Ferrari's most successful models of all time. The California differentiates itself from other Ferraris as the only 4 seater convertible in the range. Throughout it's lifespan the California has been thought of as a genuine everyday car which is easy to drive, great for long road trips and is designed to do more miles than the likes of the 458 or 488. It's subtle but sporty looks really suit it's character and despite very impressive performance figures there is a sense that comfort and convenience is equally important on the California's agenda.
The "T" variant of the California was significant as it marked the introduction of the turbocharged engine, the first Ferrari to use one since the iconic F40. There is both improved performance and better economy over the previous California whilst the updated interior and exterior styling ensure the California T is a classy choice for those looking for a convertible which oozes Italian charisma.

Call me crazy all you want but I much prefer the older California. It's less harsh looking and the beautiful lines look like it harks back to the 60's and 70's era cars. Thanks.

[@claudiomoretti9807]

I have a California 30! Amazing car…..

[@Stayinurlanepal]

Wholeheartedly agree. I think it's the last Ferrari to look like a Ferrari

[@chriscrowder2806]

Nope I agree

[@c.chavis6314]

I prefer the exterior styling of the California honestly but I like the interior styling and updates in the Portofino. For the modern conveniences and warranty, I would buy the Portofino.

[@bobbelcher678]

Still prefer the styling of the California T, looks so much more relaxed and comfortable..

[@michaelcorleone993]

The California T is a far better looking car. Classic Ferrari styling. Will age better.

[@Bambotb]

That's subjective, many would find portofino better

[@robertcomella8486]

T looks way better and will age better...Portofino looks like a Mazda from the front

[@bicyclist2]

Agreed.

[@Wonka7777]

Ferrari version of the Mazda RX 8!

[@AC_Bikes_400]

They both look good. You guys are really tough on these amazing specimens.

[@roberthaverkortrhv615]

For me the California please, so beautiful and timeless.

[@sirgeorgioalastrata4104]

The california looks way better

[@bicyclist2]

Agreed!

[@Scisca1a2a]

Portofino is my goal in a couple years, once it depreciates to reasonable levels

[@whyleo-]

Scisca its crazy how the prices droped down for the California only 85$k Im definitely gonna buy the r8 2010 the prices droped so much

[@reconforsales7708]

Yeah wait till it drops to a $1000

[@sorencarmelo4201]

i guess im randomly asking but does someone know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account?? I somehow forgot my account password. I would love any tips you can offer me.

[@zacharycohen183]

@Soren Carmelo Instablaster :)

[@derekb2102]

Love the spectacular series! Please keep it coming

[@Lee-sv8su]

Both are fabulous! Wouldn’t say the Portofino looks more modern though at first glance - both are so stylish but I prefer the California

[@notmark2745]

portofino looks like those racecar beds you could buy a couple years ago

[@deepakshira9143]

I don't know why i love California T over portofino Man California T is drop dead gorgeous.

[@artsyhyd]

DEEPAK SHIRA same here

[@bicyclist2]

Agreed.

[@chirazzarich8863]

The two cars looks so much more elegant and the design has matured perfectly well

[@hdahir545]

Design of Italian cars are just amazing so beautiful

[@masonfarrington9300]

I’m not even lying my dad owns the silver California T he bought it from modern meridian in new forest I swear it’s in my front drive I just can’t believe my dads car is on a video that has 70,000 views and I’m sure it’s the car as I matched the serial numbers I can’t believe it !!!

[@p4rvussy101]

cap lmao 😂😂😂😂😂

[@p4rvussy101]

if someone actually owned one they wouldn’t have acted so excited 😂

[@rurimoto]

@@p4rvussy101 lmao fr 💀

[@p4rvussy101]

@@rurimoto yessir all this for attention smh , and how he even get so many likes lmao people dumb asf

[@Diggy77]

California front and portofino side and back would be epic

[@freshjuice9801]

The California looks so much more elegant and the design has matured perfectly well. I really don‘t like the looks of the new Portofino.

[@bicyclist2]

Agreed.

[@alonsocordaro4880]

Totally agree. Portofino looks like a Peugeot super car

[@eddiet4708]

These cars should be a 2 seaters and I'm fine with either. Well, one can always dream.

[@aaronyoung6937]

2+2 is a better gt experience. You wouldn’t want to take a 2 seater coupe on a road trip, believe me, you’re back will hate you afterwards

[@raccoon_05]

I'd take the Portofino over Cali T anytime, but that doesn't mean the Cali T is ugly. Both look incredibly stunning 😍😍😍

[@nickchatburn]

Original California styling is still the best, by a LONG way... echoes of the original 250gt. This new Portofino version, is just so generic, it could literally be anything... no doubt it will be good, but the overall styling is just a bit too - Meh . IMO, the side intakes look all wrong...

[@gummiesrule88]

They electronic steering in the Portafino is BETTER than the hydraulic steering in the California T? That would be quite unusual....

[@ducatikawasaki1290]

The California T is by far the most beautiful modern Ferrari. It is drop dead gorgeous with unmistakably classic Ferrari elegance and design language. It will be realized in the future and will appreciate the most of the 3 in time.

[@gregorythomas4470]

The California T simply looks better and more elegant

[@itiswhatitis1775]

The more relaxed, less masculine exterior of the California was kind of the point. Understated & elegant.

[@bladerunner6282]

IMO, the california has much more attractive styling. the portofino has a 'boy racer' look to it, lacks restraint.

[@markussleitans9960]

ur dumb then

[@benfearnhead9851]

Both beautiful cars without doubt. I came here with the feeling I would prefer the California T but there are pros and cons to both. I like the softer styling of the California and agree with others here that it will age well. The California’s front lights are reminiscent of the 458 which I think is still the best looking Ferrari of the last 20 years. Two things that stand out from this review for me are that the California sounds slightly better and although the Portofino roof seems to begin folding first the California still finished first. It’s a tough choice - but a privileged one!! Portofino M is even more tempting.

[@DaleSteel]

The earlier california with NA v8 is the one to have

[@saintetienne755]

Unless you're a Ferrari purist with deep pockets the 'T' makes a lot of sense as a second hand entry into the Ferrari world

[@kdwh]

for sure, even for a certified one, most of them are well below 150k USD

[@allans7281]

I change my mind the Portofino is better what a gorgeous car

[@jusrarsh4109]

Portofino is ok at best. That California might turn heads more.... Most folks probably going to get the 488 regardless

[@richjohn9356]

Portofino is so so much better looking inside and out. The Cali is v v quick, so the Portofino would be blistering

[@edwarderofeyev]

I heavily prefer the looks of the California

[@spencer.kissack.the.author]

I'll take both 👍🏻

[@moksh_singh09]

bro love your video ..love from india❤🌎🇮🇳

[@MarcSob22]

I really like of the Portofino!

[@ArkBlazer]

Porto fino is Mazda visual. I dont like this. California ir better

[@sxley898]

Sort your sound quality out.

[@andrejosbandrejos]

What has changed in the suspention?The calif.was unstable in curves,as far as I know.

[@artsyhyd]

My goal is to purchase a secondhand Ferrari California

[@allans7281]

Portofino is gorgeous I would lean towards the California one though the name Portofino to me is just an Italian dish

[@noonenone1205]

...FinePortWine, instead?!

[@vaffanculo2958]

The Cali t looks way better than that suped up Miata

[@aod2392]

California. Hopefully the California T will be my next (and probably last) Ferrari.

[@daikokufuto8400]

Personally I really like the California its one of the cars that if possible I would pick for a dream car garage because its on the cheaper end for a Ferrari and it has the performance and is sleek and sexy personally now don't get me wrong I don't dislike the Portofino I just prefer the California a lot more because it reminds me of what Ferrari started from as well as its not overbuilt in looks like the more modern Ferrari's personally have been

[@joe718gt4]

California with an NA V8

[@cobra1010]

The Portofino may be "more car" - but I would choose the California. Much prettier and much more subtle than the new version.

[@bigkeezo]

Portofino all the way. Not now but a couple more years when the price goes down 😁

[@hdahir545]

I m fan of that round tail lights of ferrari Portofino

[@hdahir545]

Ac vents shape is like jet engine

[@ritanieuwenhuis5835]

where is Pininfarina

[@nurcanyolal382]

Portofino

[@admiralblue9324]

DIFFERENCE IS THE 100,000 USD VAULES.

[@jkeaton1513]

California T looks 10 times better than the Port from the side. And don't know what this guy is talking about when he says the California T is considered "soft"...maybe the original CA but not the T. Watch the Matt Farrah and Chris Harris reviews of how fast it is. And the Ca T's wheels are much better and more "modern" and unique. These Port wheels look just like old BMW wheels...nothing unique about them. A lot of these reviewers have no idea what they are blabbing about. This guy is a case in point.

[@MW-gi1tr]

California T is a better looking car. The rest end of the Portofino is ridiculous

[@hhharada]

C'mon man... I appreciate the video, but it is completely unnecessary to mention what is obvious, like the name and the esthetics.

[@lolekradziejewski4205]

California is just a cheep old Ferrari now and it’s gonna be that way for a long time. Ferrari’s are not supposed to be available for normal people like us

[@rupeshdharia6003]

portofino looks similar to the new corvette

[@ArkBlazer]

Mazda to.

[@Abu.99rami]

😹😹😹😹👍🏻

[@xi3m.naufal582]

Ĺlĺĺp

[@mhjl0]

"Been around ten years needs an update" first couple minutes of the video and you can already tell he's talking bollocks. Cali T has very little resemblance to the shitheap NA California released in 2009.

[@bjarkik128]

I think it´s called 8-12 superfast

[@michaelcorleone993]

I’m concerned this guy has no clue what he’s talking about!
