2023 Ferrari Portofino Review, Pricing, and Specs

In a world where some luxury brands—cough, Porsche—offering an incredibly long list of add-ons, Ferrari makes life easier by limiting your options. We’ll make our choice with optional front seats that come with ventilation and heating, and we’ll also add advanced driver technology, which includes adaptive cruise control, automatic high beams and more. Ferrari offers aluminum footrests and a passenger display, but we don’t see the need for them. Beyond those few options, all that’s left is choosing the body color, interior, brake calipers, gauges, and exhaust pipes and wheel design.

Engine, Transmission and Performance

Ferrari is defined by its engine as much as its style, and the twin-turbo 3.9-liter V-8 hiding under the Portofino’s elongated hood is excellent. The engine sends 612 horsepower and 561 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels through an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. But a claimed top speed of “in excess of 199 mph” and an estimated zero-to-60-mph time of 3.1 seconds aren’t the most impressive; it’s an unmistakable timbre that erupts from the exhaust tip as the Portofino’s tach needle charges towards the engine’s 7500 rpm redline. The Our Portofino M drove in the Florida Keys exhibiting a comfortable ride and exceptional body control from well-tuned adaptive dampers. While its electrically assisted steering provides satisfying feedback, the setup isn’t quite as exciting Porsche provided in his sports car. Every Portofino also has carbon ceramic brakes that ensure these big GTs can be stopped quickly.

Real World Fuel Economy and MPG

The 2023 Portofino M is rated at 16 mpg in the city and 23 mpg on the highway. Both figures are less than V-8-powered rivals like the Bentley Continental GT (16/26 mpg city/highway) and Aston Martin DB11(18/24 mpg city/highway). Since we haven’t tested the Portofino or one of those alternatives on our 75-mph fuel economy route, which is part of our extensive testing regimen, we can’t say how efficient they are in the real world.

Interior, Comfort and Cargo

Inside, the Portofino delights the eye with great design and impressive materials. Its various surfaces are stitched together with handsome leather, and the 18-way power-adjustable front seats are sculpted to provide comfort and support. The bucket can also be equipped with ventilation and neck heating functions. neat. There’s a handy wind deflector that helps keep the cabin quiet at speed when the top is down too. With a pair of small bucket seats behind the front passengers, the Ferrari convertible can technically transport up to four people. However, we don’t recommend anyone spend time there; use the space for your gym bag. A useful tray is placed in front of the center console to store small items, and there is even a place to store drinks nearby. With the top up, there is enough room to fit golf clubs inside the Portofino’s trunk. With the top down, it’s a challenge to store more than a briefcase inside.

Infotainment and Connectivity

The infotainment system on a Ferrari is like a spare tire on a Buick: it’s nice to have when you need it, but not something anyone will ask. Nevertheless, the Portofino includes a 10.2-inch touchscreen mounted in the center of the dashboard. We found the unit responsive during our limited exposure, and the optional front-passenger-facing touchscreen lets them view performance data and even operate the car’s navigation system.
