The #Portofino is Ferrari's third car based on the California recipe - a front engined V8 with a folding hard top. Neither the original or the California T fared very well with car critics - so for the Portofino Ferrari have gone all out. We've shown you around the car, and now we're going out for the all-important drive.

Yeah I could never understand why some people have a thing against the California, if anything I think it was under-appreciated in it's time by the motoring press. It was the only front engine NA Ferrari V8 and the only one they will ever make. The 4.3 is also the best V8 engine Ferrari ever made, and it's the best model to drive around on the street. I think it got unfair expectations of being a track day tool.

Prior to it I had an Exige S2 (260) and put a deposit on a 570s spider which I cancelled on pre-delivery inspection. The Portofino is in my opinion brilliant.

Replaced a 991.2 tS cab with a Portofino. It was £75k more (yes mine was also £240k+) but it feels it. I loved the tS and it's exceedingly quick but not special enough at the price-point and hard work over a 250m+ journey from a comfort and noise perspective. We went to St Andrews from Manchester in the tS to join the Portofino test drive days. We went for the trip with the test drive just a bonus thrown in. When we drove the tS back to back with the Portofino over the same roads the Ferrari was in a league above the tS from a GT perspective. Also have a late 458 Spider and have driven a 488 and the V8's are different animals. The truth .. you need both :)

Driven the Portofino myself on road and track, you will be happy to know in the dry it can deploy all of its power, Ferrari excel with chassis and engine mapping. Hope Ferrari give you more cars to drive and once things warm up your welcome to try the 458, I dismissed the Portofino as to me though excellent it could of also being a AMG GTC or but I guess that is because this is their mass production car. You know I like a car to feel truly special but has daily ability, for myself 430's and older were a bit too raw for that duty and 488 and newer felt a bit well too good, the 458 was the perfect middle ground for me and the sound, oh the sound. :)

I like the fact Ferrari are in different market segments unlike McLaren with their endless flavours of mid-engine two seater. Ferrari are there too with the F8 but also have the Portofino, 812, Roma and GTC Lusso (now retired) in other market segments and soon the SUV which I expect will offer the same sort of breath of fresh air as the DBX. I have 2, soon to be 3, of the mid-engined cars and scratch the itch for a V8 front engined convertible with an ageing Mercedes SL55 AMG which does, say, 75% of what the Portofino does at a fraction of the capital tied up, albeit entirely matching the Portofino in terms of servicing costs. What does concern me is that the Portofino has been replaced by the M version after hardly any time at all, Ferrari are getting to be too like McLaren with their constant model churn.

Same here. Was torn between the McLaren GT (or 570 spyder), AMG Roadster or thus one. The AMG has top notch interior and build quality but a fabric roof. Friend of mine owns one and i was a passenger a few times. Never drove it tho. The McLaren I test drove greeted me with an "engine failure" message in the LCD every third start. Thus, the usual mclaren "experience". After watching this review, i'll contact my dealer next month. I will try to drop your YT handle too... Maybe theres something in there for you.

I have a California T , came out of a 21 C8 vett. The California is every bit as quick , rides better handles as good and is 3.3 second cars . It’s an awesome car so pay no attention to the Ferrari snobs who for some reason don’t think it is . Not to mention my 15 was 140k used with 2 year warranty , not 440k . Having said that love the portofino as well . Personally I think Ferrari prices drop like a rock on these things in comparison to the Vett due to silly repair costs and perceived reliability . Start making repair costs in line with GM , Ford , etc and you would own the market again.

I wonder if there's an opportunity here to split your cars into two categories. For the majority of the cars you review, the bread and butter if you will, proceed as normal (a single, moderate length talk-and-drive). But, occasionally, pick a car to go into depth on, over several videos. I'm thinking interview the designer, and mechanics who work on them regularly (including putting it up on a hoist). Interview several long term owners. Find a standard one, and a modified one. I don't think any other channel is doing anything like that currently. And I don't think you'd necessarily pick the exotics to go in depth; sometimes a deep-dive into a more attainable car is more interesting. Food for thought.

The Californian is a car for people who wanted a Ferrari without all the Ferrari drama.That and the 412, the 612. This will sell. My Dino used to break down every time I drove it, had appalling bouts of lift off oversteer, was enormous fun but too fragile for everyday use - which is how I drove it, howling along little backroads of the Cotswolds where I live. The Californian with its trick roof was brilliant. but servicing was ridiculous.After exploring a TVR Cerbera I now have an Elise....

You can’t compare it with F-type SVR more with SL63/65, DB11 Volante, Continental GTC but it is for someone who doesn’t want soft gt and doesn’t want supercar but wants a Ferrari...

A lot of people think of it As, the boxster, the car you Can have, cos you can't afford The better one. In fact, the Portafino is a great looking car. 600 hp is enough to jump start A moon. Silly money though.

I think there are three other cars which this can be compared with the Portafino. 1. Audi R8 Spider 2. Maserati Grancabrio 3. Mercedes AMG GT-C I think the only thing keeping the Ferrari above the others is that it's a Ferrari. The main problem with that is, though it is a Ferrari, it will always be the entry level which will be forever compared with the Cali and Cali T. Yes, the Ferrari owners won't care about that, however there are a lot of owners who will feel the cost of a new Ferrari has to be justified by the status of the car, something I'm not sure the Portafino has.

Folding top in UK? While it appears somewhat sunny, 2 degrees is possibly starting to look like "I have a convertible, I really ought to have the roof down if it's not raining", LOL. Have always thought Ferraris are beautiful and go like hell, but also are temperamental, impractical and grotesquely expensive. Seems they've managed to eliminate the temperamental tag, not sure about the impractical, while retaining the looks, performance and grotesque pricing. I got a laugh at you smacking Lotus, too; I suppose they won't be offering you something to drive any time soon? I'd not be suspect if Ferrari, however, were to give you a more "petrol head" toy in Summer given the comprehensive, fair minded yet no-nonsense quality of this review. (They may have already as I've not yet caught to current date with all your content) Cheers

Yep, I love McLarens, and am the sort of person who doest like to go with the crowd, but after a day at Dick Lovett I am totally of the belief the Ferrari continue to be the leaders of the field by a long chalk. The v 12 Lusso is my obsession, could I afford one.
