The car was launched during the World Premier in the presence of President Sergio Marchionne, Vice President Piero Ferrari and drivers Giancarlo Fisichella and Sebastian Vettel, who was accompanied by Maurizio Arrivabene, Managing Director and Team Principal of Formula One’s Scuderia.

To date, the Ferrari Portofino ensures to be the most usable and affordable new model. So the luxury company of Maranello, claims that this new kind of car aims to be not only more economical but also the most practical, with more rear seat space, a bigger trunk and more equipment than the California T model.

Furthermore, it is lighter than its predecessor by an impressive 80kg. It is also equipped with an all-new front-engined, rear drive chassis, a new electric power steering plus a third generation electronic differential.

The Portofino’s engine is a totally revised version of the California T’s 3.9-litre, twin-turbo, 90 degree V8. It produces 591bhp at 7500rpm and 560lb-ft between 3000-5250rpm and emits 245g/km.
