Ferrari has released photos of the new convertible
model it will unveil at the Frankfurt Motor Show next month. The
V8-powered Ferrari Portofino will replace the California T, Ferrari's
entry-level model.
Entry-level for Ferrari (RACE),
however, is still over $200,000. Pricing for the Portofino will be
announced in Frankfurt but it's expected to be similar to the
California's, which is about $203,000.
The Portofino will be powered by 552 horsepower turbocharged V8 engine,
an improved version of the one used in the California. The Portofino's
engine will provide better responsiveness and improved fuel economy,
Ferrari claims.
Ferrari promises that the engine's
sound, with its characteristic snarl, has been enhanced so that it can
be better enjoyed with the roof down. The body is also lighter and
stiffer for improved handling. The car's top speed will be 199 miles per
hour. the Portofino will have four seats, including two back seats "suitable for short trips," and a folding hard roof. A new design for the front seatbacks allows more legroom for occupants in those small backseats. A new wind deflector will calm the airflow inside the cabin when the top is down
The new name, Portofino, refers to a resort town on the coast of the Italian province of Genoa.
