    I just bought a 2020 Portofino, my first Ferrari. I've had Aston Martin DB11, R8 v10 spider, jag Ftype R, BMW M5. I'm learning this is different. I love driving it at any speed.

    Congratulations! I saw that car in person about a month ago - it's virtually brand new! Are those aftermarket wheels, or a Ferrari wheel option?

    Thanks for confirming. The Novitec wheels look great. They're definitely not the 20" dark forged wheels listed on the option plate.

    When I saw it at Park Place, I remember wondering why someone would spend $10K+ on aftermarket wheels and then sell the car after only 300+ miles. Whatever the reason, you got a great car. Congratulations again!

    Great looking car. The Novitec wheels not really to my liking, I would personally change them to genuine Ferrari wheels, but other than that, really a great looking car with good options. And brand new ...

    Leonbar. Congrats on a great looking car.

    I'm waiting for my first Ferrari to be built. Moving from BMWs and Mercedes to Ferrari but I'm curious why do you say this car is different? Handling? Looks? Technology?

    Agreed on going back to OEM wheels, but beautiful car and nice spec. I really dig the Tricolore buttons.
