    Here are 2 quick 2019 Portofino shots from a parking lot in downtown Chicago. Note the location of the US-spec side marker lights, similar to a C7.

    I thought US deliveries had not yet started. How did someone get one early?

    And with the C7-style side markers,why do US cars need that light behind the front wheels?

    Jeesh that is the winter package they really gotta work on the Chevy style rims, they are brutal. I really have to see this ride in person (25th), sometimes I love it others I am just on the fence.

    I don’t know about other markets but US spec cars will all be 2019’s. The 10th digit in this car’s vin is “K”, indicating 2019

    I ordered a Portofino in November and just received an allocation for July/August with delivery expected in October/November 2018 in Houston. Good to know it will be a 2019. Don't really like the side marker lights but I suspect Ferrari has limited options to meet USA specs.

    Always wanted a red Ferrari. Went with Rosso Portofino,black interior, aluminum calipers and tach,red stitching and horses,carbon fiber wheel, side and rear air vents, all other options except passenger display which I did not want. Will be using it for daily driving and occasional drives to my ranch.

    The new Porto red is a gorgeous color. Sounds great, and you'll likely have a lot of opportunity to enjoy it top down in CC. Thank you for sharing.

    Lots of Portofinos in a line-up, I must admit it looks great in Blue.

    If I counted right, 7 white, 6 blue, 4 dark gray, 1 light gray, and one black. No reds! Hope I made the right choice. The deep blue does look good. I wonder why the were all driving through Portofino.

    I just asked my salesguy when they are getting theirs and he said it's in production but they won't see it until June. I am going to drive the 458 and 488 spider since June is two months off still. I have avoided it until now because that is the quickest way to find yourself in a new car.
