The Ferrari Portofino Japan Premiere

True #Ferrari Performance combining luxuryversatility       and on-board comfort
Italian GT par #excellence opens up a new horizon

 

February 20, 2018, Tokyo, Japan – #Ferrari Japan unveiled the #Ferrari #portofino, which debuted at the Frankfurt International Motor Show last year, to Japanese clients on February 19.

Representing the perfect combination of luxury, versatility and on-board comfort, the #Ferrari #portofino is the new GT set to dominate its segment. After the global debut in Frankfurt, the unveiling in Japan where GT model lineup had achieved great success was much-awaited. Over 300 VIP guests with particular interests of the new GT have gathered to see this latest model.

On this particular occasion, the venue was transformed into the world of Cavallino Rampante incorporating the latest technology to show the high performance via emotional visuals and sound. The event reached its climax when the car coloured in the sophisticated Bianco Italia was unveiled. The guests enjoyed the cocktail style party with an opportunity to see the elegantly-designed and highly innovative latest #Ferrari, celebrating another page of the Cavallino Rampante history in Japan.

The #Ferrari #portofino was named after one of the most attractive towns located in Riviera in the Liguria Region. #portofino has long been known to the world as a symbol of scenic beauty embracing elegance and unique nobility. Bearing the name of the town, the #Ferrari #portofino has become the most versatile GT car.

Powered by the #Ferrari V8 turbo, a member of the engine family that won the International Engine of the Year Award in 2016 and 2017 consecutively, the new car boasts an ability to punch out 600cv and to sprint from 0-100km/h in just 3.5 seconds. Due to the adoption of new components and the calibration of the engine management software, the output power increased by 40cv from the California T power unit. Thanks to further tuning, the characteristic #Ferrari V8 soundtrack can be fully appreciated in open-top driving.

The #Ferrari #portofino is also an aggressively-styled car with a two-box fastback configuration – unprecedented in a coupe-convertible with a retractable hard top. This successfully adds extra sleekness to its silhouette, highlighting a sportier character.

This #Ferrari model is designed for enjoying daily driving and converts from an authentic Berlinetta into an open-top Spider in just 14 seconds even in low-speed driving. With a brilliant marriage of design, performance, and technology, and with various advantageous features – retractable hard top, spacious trunk, ample passenger space, and two rear seats suitable for a short trip – the new model is perfect for any occasion.

Its vehicle dynamic characteristics have been completely revised. For the first time on this type of #Ferrari model, third-generation electronic rear differential (E-Diffs) has been integrated with the F1-Trac, improving both mechanical grip and the control of the car to the limit. The #Ferrari #portofino is also the first GT in this range to be fitted with EPS (Electric Power Steering) The integration of the EPS and the E-Diff3 reduced the steering ratio by 7% for even more responsive steering without a trade-off in stability at high-speed driving. Thanks to the adoption of dual-coil technology, the magnetorheological damping system (SCM-E) has been upgraded, helping to reduce roll while contributing to improving absorption of road surface unevenness. The result is an even more dynamic, responsive car that also delivers superior ride comfort.

The new car also focuses on on-board comfort and this is achieved by a slew of new features – an infotainment system with a 10.2” touchscreen display, a new air-conditioning system that improves passenger comfort either with the top up or down, a new steering wheel, 18-way adjustable electric-powered seats with a new backrest design that boosts legroom for rear seat passengers, and the passenger display. All passengers will highly appreciate the new wind deflector which can cut air flow inside the cabin by 30% and reduces aerodynamic noise in open-top driving.

The #Ferrari #portofino is the most powerful convertible car that #Ferrari has ever produced.
