Ferrari has the GTC4Lusso in its lineup to quench
the thirst of supercar enthusiasts looking for a Shooting Brake. However, XTomi
believes that the newly unveiled Portofino would make for a nice addition to
the brand's family, carrying a similar design, and we have to admit that it
certainly looks the business.
Now, as mentioned above, the Italian automaker won't
introduce a Portofino Shooting Brake, Lusso, or whatever you want to call it,
as the vehicle serves a replacement for the California T, so it will only be
offered as a roadster, and will remain the most affordable product in Ferrari's
lineup.
Powering it is a 3.9-liter twin-turbo V8 engine
that can be found in several supercars made in Maranello, such as the 488 GTB,
488 Spider, GTC4Lusso T, and California T. In the Portofino, it delivers 600 PS and 760 Nm of torque to the ground, thus allowing it to reach
100 km/h in 3.5 seconds, before topping out at 320 km/h. Ferrari
will reveal more details about the new Portofino in mid-September, when it will
go under the spotlight at the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show.
