The new Portofino

Initial review -https://www.topgear.com/car-news/first-look/revealed-new-ferrari-portofino

 

Me too

 

I love it. Well done Ferrari.

Apparently even better in the flesh, but one of the great improvements is with the roof up, how the profile is now so smooth, like a coupe, beautiful.

My dealer tells me we won't see any rhd cars before third quarter 2018.

Great news that finally you can raise and lower the roof on the move.

Maybe the styling language is:V8 single and V12 double tail lights.
I like the design generally and I think its much more aggressive and muscular that the Cali T. We can see the rear glass effect which is used in 812 for optimizing the air flow to the rear spoiler.I'am waiting the official video but I believe that is going to be a stunner in real life conditions

 

The tail lights moved from the trunk lid into the fenders.

 

Wow. That side view is magnificent. Must say that it looks much better than 812.

 

After the 812 design flaws, mainly because of excessive aerodynamics orientation and also due to the Pininfarina non ressemblence complex, the Portofino is the way that Flavio Manzoni encountered to cure his sins and show to the world that is capable. The car maintains all the versatility of the California, has a substancial increase in power and aesthetically, looks very good. You can recognise in the Portofino the elegance of the master's school design blended with some more modern ideas and details which make the all package extremely appealing . Congratulations Ferrari a well done job.

 

It's interesting that some of the 'F12' crew really like the car: Tim, Mario, Tsyobelis, me etc. and think that the Portofino has some cues that would have made the 812 look better.

I have never really considered a California, but this may change my mind.

 

fantastic looking car!
Congrats to all that already signed-up for one.

Now the quest for which colour to choose begins.....lol

 

Notice the rederings show a semi-satin paint finish, not crisp clear reflection as always before. Maybe new paint styles to be introduced, hopefully cheaper than current specials...

 

Yeah I thought about that. Maybe!

 

Love the car. Lines are somewhat comparable to the Superfast but on a scaled down

version. I guess if you're in the town Portofino (Italian Riviera), you would want a drop

top.

 

Are you insane?

 

From the Ferrari website:
The launch colour of the new Ferrari has also been dedicated to this marvellous town: Rosso Portofino.

Haha

You're probably right, but I love dreaming.

 

Well the California T sure didn't last very long. It's only been out a few years and now it's already replaced.

 

Love the new look - much prefer it to the various iterations of California.

 

better looking than the California.

not as good looking as the Cali T.

I'm sure it's a phenomenal car to drive.

 

Tim thank you for publishing the pictures which enable us to get a very good idea on the Portofino looks.

 

The pace of new vehicle releases is almost difficult to follow. Unless its my imagination, the lifespan of each vehicle seems to have decreased between 12-18 months now. Yes, the DNA remains the same, but new-model introductions seem fast and furious.

Aside, I also think the Portofino looks beautiful and I'm certain it'll be a super GT.

 

gotta keep that stock price up somehow.

 

T
3 years it's ok..3 plus 2 like in past times, anyway, longer than any series production McLaren ��

 

That profile looks superb. I was never a fan of the California with the roof up but this

 

Life span now is 3 plus 2 years For every model cycle.. CaliT 2014 portofino 2017, quite a long time compared to Mecca...anyway, this is unavoidable, competitors are rushing more and more, Sergio gets tired of this and future life cycles will likely be shorter.
