Ferrari Portofinito: Entry-Level Retractable Hardtop Axed To Make Room For New Roma Spider | Carscoops carscoops
shown its Portofino the door. The company’s entry level retractable hardtop roadster was looking like a minister without portfolio after Ferrari unveiled the Roma Spider last Thursday, and now Maranello has confirmed that the Portofino will be dropped to make room for the newest Roma.
Although the Portofino M features a retractable hardtop and the Roma a more traditional fabric top, and the two have wildly different styling, there was simply too much crossover for the two cars to have existed together. Both are powered by a 612 hp 3.9-liter, twin-turbo V8 driving the rear wheels through an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission and feature two small rear seats.
Even before the arrival of the Roma Spider, the Roma and Portofino seemed like slightly awkward bedfellows. The Portfofino, unveiled in 2017 and three years later, was styled like a mini 812 Superfast, while the Roma, which was built from the same platform and running gear and released in 2019, features softer, more elegant lines that recalled glamorous GT Ferraris of the 1950s.
