    Image Unavailable, Please Login So it finally arrived after around 4 years of admiring these portofino never driven one never sat in one only a passing glance at a dealer some 4 years ago so my first thoughts about it
    1. The rosso corsa metallic is darker then it seems in pictures but my what a beautiful colour
    2. How much better does the portofino look in real life wow amazing the curves the bonnet arches you don’t see in any pictures simply a work of art and so modern looking love it .the back end looks perfect but doesn’t look that good in pictures
    3. The dials on the instrument cluster are way bigger than I thought . Even the option plaque looks totally different than pictures.
    4. The sound wow when your going that the gears how good does this thing sound much better than I thought .
    5 the quality fit and finish everything is high end still smells new inside for a 5 year old car with 9k miles this one would pass and a 5 month old
    car
    I don’t think you’d be disappointed if your thinking of getting a portofino that’s for sure Image Unavailable, Please Login

    Fabulous, the second best color choice:). I agree, the lines are bold and seductive, it gets much more attention than my Cali T did when parked at my favorite wine bar. At first I wasn't sure it was worth the substantial upgrade cost, but that doubt has vanished after 3 months. Enjoy!

    Congratulations, enjoy in good health! The Portofino is a fantastic car, I thought hard about it to replace my Cali30HS, but I'm very attracted to the possibility of a Ferrari with 4 real seats and a V12...

    Congratulations! Looks like a great spec - would you mind sharing a photo of the inside and the Spec plate?

    Yellow, of course! I looked for a while and luckily one popped up close by. It lacks the exterior carbon fiber trim, but has what I consider the essentials- Magneride, CF driver zone, full electric seats and high power audio. Sorry if I hijacked the thread.....would also love to see the OP's spec plate.

    I love yellow had a m4 convertible in speed yellow , have a lister stealth in yellow wanted a portofino in yellow only a few ever popped up and seemed to be for sale for a very long time , so I thought if I got a yellow one I’d never sell it
    When I saw this portofino and the spec it had I had to have it bear in mind I’ve been looking for a long time it was to good to let this one pass . And I really love the metallic Rosso and not ever seen one this this amount of spec £75k in options missing only the passenger display but I’m sure that can be retro fitted .
    attached plaque and a picture I got today after down loading the Ferrari app from them of it coming off the production line

    Wow, now that's a spec plate! One column is basic, two is nicely optioned, three and four is over the top supermodel territory. I'm sure it was impossible to pass up, enjoy!
