    It depends how many cars and places you have.

    If the Portofino is your 12th cars I can understand to a certain extend, but if it's just your 3rd or 5th cars I don't.
    It also depends heavily of how you drive your cars, I saw you have a 458 spider, to me more weight and way less stiffness is a big no. (Can't staring at my F136 would be another real downside)

    Other than the back seats, the F12/812 infotainment was the only little downside compare to the Portofino.
    The futur front mid v12 will have the new interior and as usual will be far superior in everything else.
    Without kids in the back, a no brainer decision!

    Apart that any aluminium chassis spider is laughable, it is a little less silly on the front mid v12's that can be driven as a GT, versus the sport oriented mid rear V8's.

    What an embarrassing thing to believe, much less admit in public

    So I guess I must be one of the people who can’t drive because I absolutely love my Portofino. I’ve owned it for four years and have passed on acquiring an F8 and a 296 GTS because for my purposes the Portofino is perfect. So please take your ignorant, condescending comments elsewhere because there are a lot of us who can afford to buy whatever we want, but choose to stay with what we like.

    I agree..... When I hear things like that.....it makes me wonder if the person actually owns a Ferrari or just likes to troll people who do.

    Plenty of Ferrari trolls exist and they want everyone to know how smart and opinionated they are about the cars but they drive a Kia.

    I don't know how many Ferrari each members that attack me currently own, but I am in the high end for sure.
    Because of what I said, I don't want to disclose the list of my collection, as I could be easily identified by it in my area.
    (and believe me there is no lack of desire to do it, my price to pay for having a big mouth)

    That been said, I will no longer answer on this tread, as there is nothing other than personal attacks.
    Call me whatever you want, troll, or even kia troll (lol funny enough I had to google that name to understand, I think there is no one car of this brand where I live but whatever)
    As usual when people are short of arguments, they play the card of personal attack out of frustration..

    The Cali, the Portofino and the Roma are certainly not women’s car, this is absurd. They are true Ferraris (elegant designs, handling, performances) and they are GTs (not race cars). Period! Nothing else to add, it would be a waste of time…:confused:

    Dude, literally no one cares about your opinion, your collection or your need to announce your departure.

    Come on, what did you really expect? Posting sexist and homophobic bile in a forum created for fans of a particular car and then walking off in a big huff when everyone disagrees with you - that was always going to end well. Grow up

    Probably one of the most asinine posts I have read on this thread. No cares how many high end cars you have or who drives what in your neighborhood. Good for you. You missed everyone’s point. Your OP was absolutely ridiculous and was insulting to almost everyone that read it. Apart from the many comedic retorts that had me cracking up we don’t care about your analysis or want to partake in your ridiculous myopic analysis. Good luck in your future posts.

    I was considering trading in two of my “normal” sports cars for one naturally aspirated California.
    IMO a California is a perfect daily / just have fun car . One with a true Ferrari scream .
    I have several other hair chested monsters for the stupid fast “manly” purpose.

    Just a suggestion, but if there are no further posts done on this thread, it will migrate downwards to disappearing.

    Does anyone in here actually see women driving these? Maybe they took it out for a joy ride but it is for sure her husband’s car more than likely. I don’t think I have come across a woman asking for a Ferrari. They usually ask for a G-wagon, Bentley or Dawn but never had one ask for a Ferrari.

    There are two different sf90's that show up to the office parking garage every now and then, there is a dermatologist there. Both are driven by women. I was next to an f8 spider at a stoplight a few weeks ago, also was being driven by a woman.

    I do own a Portofino M and from what I'm told it's a great car. Regardless, I'm still trying to figure out what a woman is.
