The 2018 Ferrari Portofino is claimed to be one of the most powerful convertibles which combines the advantages of a retractable hardtop along with a big boot and spacious cockpit. It can accommodate 4 passengers, though the rear seats are good for shorter distance only.
Under the hood of the Portofino sits the renowned Ferrari V8 turbo engine. This 3.9-litre twin-turbo V8 engine produces 591 BHP @ 7500 rpm and torque of 760 Nm @ 3000-5250 rpm. It is mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Ferrari claims that the Portofino can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 3.5 seconds and has a top speed of 320 km/h plus. It is also the first Ferrari roadster to be equipped with the third generation electronic rear differential (E-Diff3) and Electric Power Steering (EPS).
The Ferrari Portofino also gets magnetorheological damping system (SCM-E) with dual-coil technology. This reduces roll while simultaneously improving absorption of road surface unevenness thereby providing a more dynamic, responsive and comfortable car.
