Something almost all the comments missed. This car is also for guys like me. Previous owner of a Lamborghini LP550-2, driven all the latest lambos on the track, some Porsches, taken some racing instruction, been to all the car shows. The Lambo was like dating a super model. Loved it, however, disliked some of the attention.
Now, as I turn 60, I want a sporty, powerful, precision machine, Italian design and styling, great performance, Ferrari pedigree. I don't care to be noticed and I'm done with road racing and cop avoidance. I want something to take out on the country roads, something my wife will climb into. Something special, with the wind in my hair and the sun overhead.
I'd say the Portofino hits all those requirements on the nose. And no, I'm not the COO, CEO, CFO or CTO. Just a guy who likes exotics with some means.

Do they check and make sure these auto journalists are multimillionaires before letting them test these cars? These cars are ONLY intended to be driven, or even TOUCHED, by ONLY the filthy stinking rich.
In fact, they need to work on making these videos class restricted. You should need a special code that is given out ONLY to the filthy stinking rich to be able to view these videos. The common people shouldn-t be allowed to view anything related to Ferrari, because these cars are not intended for them.
Looking at a rich man-s Ferrari is no different than staring at his model quality girlfriend. Neither one is intended for lower class people who work for a living.

Hooray Ferrari, at last you have made a decent amazing car for the gentleman and not exclusively for the Nutcase Showman. This is what I have been waiting for all my life - a decent yet flashy, amazing sport car with all the goodies to feel that you have a fine piece of engineering under your control to thrill you as you please I was reluctant to look at the 2019 Ferrari model thinking it could be yet another model for the fancy gigolo but finally thought let's have a look anyway and the Portofino surprised me to the hilt. Now it is an agonizing wait until I grab my dream Ferrari. Thank you guys for coming into proper sense to cater for the gentlemen who sigh for a Ferrari.

Considering the success and age of the California, I am a little surprised that some of the larger lower priced badges still haven-t tried to make a -beautiful but not terribly impractical- four seat convertible.

I'm 65 y/o and this car is for total geezers who aren't even thinking about pitching their car into a corner. Give me a 458 Italia or an R8. N/A motors that howl like a wolf. This and the Cal T are rubbish.

Ferrari nailed this car. I drove one a few months back, awesome. and in a year two when prices start to drop, I'll be in for sure. This car can do it all. Looks great, top up, top down.

This car isn't meant to be like the 488. The 488 is in a class of its own. This is a proper car to cruise in with the top down with the potential of being a sports car.

I-m not getting it until they release the HGTE, Handling Speciale or whatever suspension and power tuning that they offer for the Portofino.
