And even though the Portofino is owed as a grand tourer, Ferrari says it didn’t ignore the handling. It gets an electronic rear differential like you’ll find in the 488 GTB and dual-coil magnetorheological dampers that guarantee reduced body roll without sacrificing ride quality. The steering ratio was also lessened by 7 percent to increase receptiveness.
But since the Portofino is a grand tourer, Ferrari says it also made certain the cabin is relaxed and refined.
- You get a 10.2-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a new steering wheel,
- 18-way electrically adjustable seats, and new backrests that help the rear seats feel less cramped in the rare event that a human person actually sits in them. Plus, because this fastback is also a hardtop convertible,
- Ferrari upgraded the air conditioning to improve passenger comfort when the top is down on one of those hot Italian summer days.
- There’s also a new wind reflector Ferrari says decreases airflow in the cabin by 30 percent while also reducing wind noise.
Look for the Ferrari Portofino to make its official debut next month at the Frankfurt auto show. The pricing has not yet been proclaimed, but expect it to start a little over $200,000 like the California T.
