The Portofino improved on the California across the board; here's how to buy one
Note for reference: car weight and power data is hard to pin down with absolute certainty. For consistency, we use the same source for all our guides. We hope the data we use is right more often than it’s wrong. Our advice is to treat it as relative rather than definitive. The 3.9 V8 that powered the Cali T and the Portofino won the outright award for Engine of the Year in 2016 and 2017.
Aural emotion was always going to be restricted by the V8's flat-plane design but the Porto's valved exhaust made a pretty decent fist of things at higher revs in Sport mode. There was a healthy bark on startup that had the potential to make you unpopular with the neighbours, if you were poor enough to have them.
The Portofino's roof was deployable in a speedy 14 seconds, and it would do that on the move if you so desired, but you needed to make sure you didn't have the only unstapled manuscript copy of your Booker Prize-winning novel in the boot while you were doing that or there was a possibility of it ending up scattered to the four winds because the boot was open to the elements during the roof opening process.
Portofino seat frames were made of magnesium alloy rather than the Cali’s aluminium, helping to keep weight down. The standard seats underlined the car's touring brief in that they weren't especially sporty in shape but they were more comfortable than those found in something like the 488. Daytona-style front seats were available at £2,832. The back perches did come with Isofix fittings for baby seats.
