Ferrari launches Portofino in Thailand

Latest exotic roadster from Italy gets a completely new look and more performance.

The Ferrari Portofino has been officially introduced in Thailand today via Cavallino Motors, the authorised importer of the Italian supercar marque.

Priced at 20.9 million baht, the Portofino has been designed as a replacement for the California T and maintains the 2+2 seating layout, retractable hard-top and front-engine and rear-drive platform.

Power for Ferrari’s entry-level sports car is derived from a 3.9-litre twin-turbo V8 developing 600hp, which is 30hp more than in the outgoing model. 

The Portofino goes from 0-100kph in 3.5sec, a tenth-of-second quicker than the California T using same seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

While the dimensions are similar in both roadsters, the exterior and interior design are all-new.

There are no comparable rivals for the Portofino in Thailand available on an official basis. The Bentley Continental GT has yet to spawn a convertible model, while the Mercedes-AMG S63/S65 and Porsche 911 Turbo S Cabriolet aren’t sold in the country.
