Launched on the market in 2018, the Ferrari Portofino is now one of the most iconic cars in the Rossa’s catalog.
Let’s find out more about this beautiful model: technical details, trivia and information about the Ferrari Portofino. Find out how to drive it with MotorSport Maranello.
Ferrari Portofino: the project and the debut
The Ferrari Portofino coupe-cabriolet (F164) is a sporty grand tourer-type car, introduced to the market in 2018 and still produced. The car is 4.586 meters long, 1.938 meters wide and 1.318 meters high, with a wheelbase length of 2.67 meters. Its weight is 1,545 kilograms.
In styling, the Portofino takes the form of an innovative car, due mainly to the use of a fastback hatchback configuration, a completely unprecedented choice for models with a coupé-cabriolet body.
Ferrari Portofino is a model conceived under the banner – simultaneously – of continuity and innovation: original in its hatchback, but inspired in its lines by the Cavallino Rampante’s historic Ferrari 365 Daytona model, marketed from 1968 until 1974.
Designed by the Ferrari Centro Stile, led by designer Flavio Manzoni, the Portofino has a retractable hardtop and is powered by the Ferrari F154 BE 3855 cm³ twin-turbo V8 engine – rated at 600 hp (441 kW) at 7500 rpm, equivalent to 156 hp/liter.
The choice of the name Portofino
The name Portofino is a clear reference and homage to thecity of the same name in Liguria. On Ferrari’s official website itself, it is explained how the car is a tribute to the Genoese resort: the model drew inspiration from the chic and understated elegance of its small harbor, coining a new type of red – Rosso Portofino – to seal the Cavallino’s dedication to the beautiful Ligurian Sea tourist destination.
The September 2017 presentation event
In September 2017, Ferrari held a grand launch presentation to show the world a preview of the new model. The Ferrari Portofino was shown for the first time on September 7, 2017, in Portofino, of course.
For the occasion, a 1.5-kilometer barge was set up and moored in the water space in front of the characteristic Piazzetta del Borgo (pictured in a historical depiction from the 1800s). The Castello Brown served as a screen for a light and projection show: there the logo of the Prancing Horse stood out, monumental, while the veil on the car was dropped accompanied by beams of light, showing an evocative backdrop with the panorama of Portofino.
