"Truly, a Ferrari for all seasons"

So long as you have the money, buying a Ferrari should never be a difficult decision. At the end of the day, the Italian brand represents a universally recognized symbol of speed, glamour, wealth and performance. The point is, there’s a lot of choice for cars in this price range, but there is no other car that offers the exclusivity of the Ferrari brand with all the practical day-to-day goodness one would expect from an ‘everyday’ super car.

No issues here about lacking proper Ferrari fizz, and who else but Maranello would illustrate the car’s pulsating soundtrack by showing us a graph delineating the bass, tenor and soprano frequency range. Even for a company with a back catalogue as mechanically rich as Ferrari’s, the 3.9-litre engine sounds and feels every cubic centimeter a genuine masterpiece. Intake and exhaust have been tweaked, and there’s an electric bypass valve, but the key here is a turbo-denying absence of lag and razor-sharp throttle response.

The Portofino is lighter, faster, much prettier, and better made. There’s a lot of solid gold action up here – AMG S63 cabrio, Aston DB11 Volante, Bentley Continental GT, Porsche Turbo cab, maybe even the Rolls-Royce Dawn – and not one of them goes about separating you from large sums of money in quite the same way. Either way, if you don’t leave a Ferrari dealership with a smile on your face, you’ve done something seriously wrong.
