2022 Ferrari Portofino

Ferrari does not believe in dealing with several models of a single car and that's why it has only one model named the Portofino M. The car brings an infotainment touchscreen of 10.2-inch–that lacks Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on a standard basis. Offers a single rear-wheel drive architecture.

Besides the features that are showcased with the Portofino M, the Ferrari delegates several options to customise the vehicle according to the shoppers' will.

These features can be added–

• Apple CarPlay and Android Auto Integration
• Front seat neck warmer
• Adaptive headlights
• Adaptive suspensions
• Folding rear seats
• Secondary instrument panel for the front passengers
• Premium audio system
• Ventilated front seats

Full ADAS package-

• Adaptive cruise control
• A forward collision mitigation system
• Traffic sign reader
• Adaptive high beams
• Surround view camera system
• Blindspot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert
• Lane departure warning

We Recommend

There are no such versions to choose from, but CARHP recommends the high-net-worth individual to take the additional packages, as bringing only a normal Ferrari with 20-inch wheels won't be a flex. With extra customization, the Ferrari will more suit the customer. The optional Adaptive cruise control adjusts speed to maintain a constant distance between the vehicle and the car in front. The Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration can be a choice if you ain't busy enjoying driving this car. The surround-view camera system helps provide good visibility.

Release Date 

The 2022 Ferrari Portofino M has been released and is available for sale in your nearest showroom.

The 612 horse-powered mighty V8 engine is not fitted to deliver a good fuel economy. It manufactures an mpg figure of – 16 in the city, 23 on the highways, and 19 mpg on a combined basis. When 21.1 gallons of the fuel tank is filled, it manages a range of – 337.6 miles when flexing around the city, 485.6 miles when sprinting on the highways, and 400.9 miles combined.

Carrying extra mpg than the Ferrari, the 2022 Aston Martin is the most fuel-efficient car in the segment. The Bentley Continental GT has the biggest fuel tank and it offers the highest range numbers. 2022 Lamborghini Huracan EVO Spyder has the dullest economy. The 2022 DB11 Volante serves the shortest fuel tank.

Inside the Ferrari Portofino M, the cabin design mostly resembles other models that Ferrari offers. It is composed of an elegant persona and magnificent quality materials. The seats get honorable bolstering and stitching to maintain the minute detailing inside the car. The car with lower to-ground appeal creates problems for the taller people to get in and go out of it. The front leather seats are 18-way power adjustable with heating as standard– pay extra to get cool down in summers. The second-row seats are of no use– can be utilized to carry pieces of stuff or for the kids. The cockpit contains carbon-fiber finish everywhere to match the performance-oriented look of the car. The door panels get soft padding with optional body-colored stitching and hold controls for seat adjustments. With some storage space along it, the doors carry a JBL sound system. 

The carbon-fiber finish on the door sill with Ferrari written on it. The steering column with a flat bottom design deals with various controls mounted over it–with shift lights up on the top. It gets a bigger size button to wake up the engine finished in red contrast. The convertible roof made of hard materials automatically folds up very seamlessly in 15 seconds. The controls all over the dash and center console hold a physical existence. The dashboard looks simple and clean, but four huge air vents catch the attention first. Under that, a 10.2-inch infotainment touchscreen with Ferrari written above supports–Apple Carplay and Android Auto with extra money. On the passenger end, a striped LCD screen shows basic stuff like temperature. The center console proposes three bolt-like buttons for the reverse, the automatic mode, and the launch control. A single cup holder with a nicely padded center armrest.

How intuitive is the 2022 Ferrari Portofino Convertable Infotainment system?

The infotainment screen on the dashboard completes the overall look of the confined cabin. It supports both Apple Carplay and Android Auto, but whoever is gonna ask about it when you are steering this quarter-million dollar car. The 10.2-inch touchscreen is responsive but is not that twinkling. The fully digital instrument cluster shows information in popping colors. The Standard 7-speaker JBL audio system proves a weak element when competing with Ferrari exhaust sound. Most controls are mainly physical buttons and can be easily used without expanding your hands much more.

The exterior impression of the Ferrari Portofino is like how it should be–a design approximating the Ferrari California. Besides several exterior color shades, the Rosso Portofino truly maintains the legacy of a red Ferrari. The huge elongated hood carries the Ferrari seeded 3.9L twin-turbo V8 engine. Ahead of that the Ferrari horse holds the Italian colors on the top of the logo. The chrome Ferrari logo is mounted on the front down-to-road grille–which consists of four front parking sensors. Headlights get functional cutouts for more air to allow through– to maintain a good aerodynamic efficiency. LED headlights with LED daytime running lights with a blacked-out housing. The front end makes an aggressive face.

The side profile of the car is very sleek and it holds a two-door mechanism. Front aluminum forged 20-inch wheels engage with the tire dimensions of P245/35ZR20. It gets six-piston Brembo brake calipers for the front and four for the rear wheels. The yellow Ferrari logo pops out separately. On the sides above the wheels, it serves two air intakes on either side. The outside mirror is finished in a body-colored hue. The power-operated rooftop easily merges on the back end and is hard to predict it to be a convertible vehicle.

The Bentley is the heaviest vehicle on our list, it also conveys the longest wheelbase. The Lamborghini Huracan EVO is the shortest vehicle that holds the briefest wheelbase. All vehicles are equally wide. The Huracan is the lightest car.

• 2022 Ferrari Portofino Convertible vs. 2022 Aston Martin DB11 Volante

The Aston Martin DB11 is slightly on the heavier side and offers better mileage figures. Both cars have the same V8 engine, but the Ferrari is faster than the DB11. The Aston Martin costs lesser and offers more top speed, while with a bit more dollars, the Ferrari is good at doing a quarter-mile faster. The interior of the DB11 Volante is more premium looking.

• 2022 Ferrari Portofino Convertible vs. 2022 Bentley Continental GT V8 Convertible

With a luxury crunch, the Bentley Continental GT is the car that brings a more price tag. The Ferrari is faster and has lower curb weight. The 2023 Bentley has a longer wheelbase, and it offers a great range. The Ferrari has more space to carry cargo. The Continental GT has more top speed to go, while the Ferrari sprints faster.

• 2022 Ferrari Portofino Convertible vs. 2022 Lamborghini Huracan EVO Spyder RWD

The Italian bull vs. the Italian horse. The Lamborghini is a 2-seater vehicle, while the Ferrari consists of 4 seats. With a V10 engine, the 2022 Huracan EVO is more affordable and also quicker than the Ferrari. Both cars have significantly different styling and appearance. The Ferrari Portofino gets more mpg while the Huracan EVO has less curb weight. The Portofino has an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission, while the Lambo carries seven.

If the shoppers want to taste the Ferrari, the Portofino is the most affordable option out on the market. The car gets a thundering V8 engine that sounds crazy. The acceleration is quite exciting, but the handling is not as refined as the Bentley or the Porsche. Offers only a single trim, which too does not bring several prominent safety features on a standard. The other rivals like Lambo Huracan EVO can be a more approachable option if the customer is hungry for speed and acceleration. The Aston Martin brings the best proportions with it.
