Highlights
Outing Highlights
A twin‑turbo V8 with drop‑top presence
The Portofino pairs a 3.9 L twin‑turbo V8 and rear‑wheel drive with a folding hardtop, combining raw acceleration and an open‑air character that’s as much about sensory drama as it is about performance.
Comfort and connectivity inside a sports GT
Inside, leather bucket seats and advanced connectivity systems prioritize usability and comfort while the exhaust note and acceleration favor the visceral — a cockpit meant for two and for enjoying both calm cruising and sudden bursts of speed.
Brutal acceleration, restrained top speed
The Portofino accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in about 3.4 seconds and reaches a top speed of 199 mph, delivering performance credentials that underscore its status as a true Ferrari grand tourer.
