Gallery: 'Entry-Level' Ferrari Portofino Looks Like Money in Person
The Ferrari Portofino debuted not too long ago as the Italian automaker’s new “entry level” model to replace the California T, but after seeing it in person for the first time, we can confirm it looks just as expensive as a Ferrari should.
The new supercar made its first public appearance at the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show looking super fly. It was FIRE, as the kids would say. Looking stunning in Ferrari’s signature red with the top down and in a new matte silver finish with the retractable hardtop in place, there’s hardly an angle on the Portofino that’s not stunning. This is one of the rare droptops that look just as attractive with the top up or down.

The new supercar is powered by a 3.9-liter twin-turbocharged V8 that outputs 590 horsepower and 560 pound-feet of torque, which helps get the convertible to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds. Besides a host of performance upgrades that should help the Ferrari Portofino drive better than the California, the new convertible also looks much more aggressive and high-end than the California did.
The pretty Ferrari Portofino will likely go on sale in early 2018.
