Ferrari Portofino vs Ferrari 488 GTB Comparison

The Ferrari Portofino isn't the fastest, best handling or loudest supercar out there. But for what it is meant to do i.e. look good while being drivable enough to be used every day, it is nearly perfect. The roof mechanism could be better engineered to take real life problems like dust. We still think it is the prettiest car out there today and considering the fact that it is the entry-level vehicle in the Ferrari lineup, expect it to sell like hot cakes.

The chassis is very forgiving, and you get no sense of understeer. And for me, this is where the turbo makes the real difference for me. The slight lag and the extra dose of torque you get from the twin scroll twin turbo, give you a neater entry and exit on the oversteer. The turbocharged Ferrari V8 is a dream. It is a fun, precise, and superbly engineered car that seems to do everything right and sounds great doing it! Now if only it could follow me home!
