NEW Ferrari Portofino First Drive & Exhaust Sound - Does It Deserve The Badge?

- 2018 Ferrari Portofino - Ferrari's latest retractable hard top super GT replacing the Ferrari California.
Information from Ferrari on the new Portofino:
The Ferrari Portofino is the new V8 GT set to dominate its segment thanks to a perfect combination of outright performance and versatility in addition to a level of driving pleasure and on-board comfort unparalleled on the market. Capable of unleashing a massive 600 cv and sprinting from 0 to 200 km/h in just 10.8 seconds, the Ferrari Portofino is the most powerful convertible to combine the advantages of a retractable hard top, a roomy boot and generous cockpit space complete with two rear seats suitable for short trips.
The new car, which takes its name, Portofino, from one of the most charming villages on the Italian Riviera, an eponym for stylish elegance, is the most versatile model in the range. A Ferrari designed to be driven every day that also effortlessly converts from an authentic ‘berlinetta’ coupé to a drop-top capable of delivering a unique Ferrari soundtrack and superb driving pleasure even in day-to-day situations.
The retractable hard top (RHT) has been completely redesigned and can now be opened or closed in just 14 seconds on the move at lower speeds, making the car even more practical. Careful modelling of the RHT housing now allows the luggage compartment to hold two cabin trolleys with the roof down and three with the roof up. Ideal for any occasion, the Ferrari Portofino represents the perfect combination of design, performance and technology.
The Ferrari Portofino is significantly lighter with the adoption of new components featuring innovative designs made possible by the use of cutting-edge production techniques. This, combined with a 40 cv higher power output than the California T, has resulted in a significant hike in performance and a corresponding drop in emissions. Vehicle dynamics benefit from the introduction, for the first time on this model, of electric power steering, the 3rd generation electronic differential (E-Diff3) and the latest evolution of the electronic suspension control system (SCM-E) integrated with Premium 9.1 ESP.
FERRARI POROTFINO ENGINE
Starting with the V8 power unit, which has won the outright International Engine of the Year award for two consecutive years in 2016 and 2017, Ferrari’s engineers worked on several different fronts to deliver a power output of 600 hp at 7500 rpm, the equivalent of 156 cv/l, introducing new mechanical components as well as specific engine management software.
The Portofino’s engine continues Ferrari’s zero turbo lag tradition, with instantaneous throttle response in under 1 second.
The Ferrari Portofino features Variable Boost Management, a control software developed by Ferrari that adjusts torque delivery to suit the gear selected. As the car goes up through the gears (from 3rd to 7th), the amount of torque delivered by the engine increases all the way up to 760 Nm. This has allowed the Ferrari Portofino to adopt longer gear ratios in the higher gears, which helps keep fuel consumption and emissions down on the one hand, while adopting different torque curves through the rev range in the lower gears for a feeling of strong, continuous pick-up.
In line with long-standing Ferrari tradition, every single Prancing Horse engine has its own particular soundtrack that makes it unique. This is also true of the Ferrari Portofino.
Aside from a new exhaust line, electronically-controlled by-pass valves have been adopted in a first for Ferrari, delivering improvements in actuation speed and precision. The new valves guarantee that the soundtrack changes in line with the various
situations in which the car is used.

The most Italian thing in this video wasn't the Ferrari, but the gentleman with the amazing gestures at 0:03.
Rohonczy Ferenc yes! And the music and slow motion all synced up nice. You beat me to the comment!
I think this is the first proper review of the Portofino on the internet. It looks gorgeous in white with the blue interior. For a long time you couldn't spec a Portofinno on the Ferrari web site. Thankfully now you can. Thanks.
christdragon
Of course its Mr.Jww he a legend
Agreed James is the best at car reviews, I saw Tim did one but it turned into a "Look at me I'm Schmee, forget the car" video..
That doggo is dope 00:10 ! damn, 10/10 would pet
Is it as awesome as the fluffy cat in Sam's video? lol
When multiple youtubers upload content about the same launch and you instantly gravitate towards Mr JWW! Stunning as always!
This.....
Shmee also makes good videos but I for one can’t stand his voice and cringy greetings so I go Mr JWW every day!
I like Shmee's in depth analysis of the numbers and full walk rounds. Love James's passion just to get out there and drive, and also his production quality!
Thanks so much for the support 👍🏻
Frisky Bear Brewing Co
Totally agree...another class!
Yes. Happy to start seeing reviews on this one.
The production quality is beyond brilliant.
Gowtham Oleti,no opinion on the car then...shirt lifter
People in the comments section seem so kind and supportive....it’s all love
The quality of the cinematography is freaking amazing
Probably the best looking convertible Ferrari since the 355 Spider!.....and another excellent review, well done James!
Well done and STRAIGHT to the point. Nothing superfluous in this video.
Lol - "I think when you approach these cars the mere mention of the word Ferrari sort of draws up these connotations which have been founded in history based on passion, performance, soul, just almost tangible energy of what these cars will feed back to its driver" - Glad it makes sense to you. Its sounds like English is his second language to me. Breathe out James! It always sounds like your lungs are full.
Well said that man! What a step UP from Ferrari. I love this car and think it looks and sounds Gorgeous! Goodbye Cali and HELLO Portofino......
I actually love the styling. True to new standards while keeping the Ferrari touch.
Very few things are better than coming home from work, sitting down to relax and seeing a little '1' next to Mr JWW in my subscription list.
These are the reviews I want to watch, I got to properly see and hear the car! Thanks James
Great video as usual! In my opinion this car, especially from the rear 3/4 view, is the most beautiful modern car Ferrari have made
on the most of the videos that I saw about cars I move to the next one before see 50% of the video but with yours I always keep till the end. The quality is really nice and the mix environment + cars is the best of your videos apart your knowledge about cars. Keep up the good job.
Awesome to hear thanks so much
James thrashing that car around is why I love this channel. No other car reviewer will do that.
THAT CHOW CHOW THOUGH! OH MY GOD!! 14/10 BEST LOOKING PUP, MUST PET!
That soundtrack at the beginning is boss. It gives your vlogs more class
More comments about James than about the car itself....Portofino absolutely deserves the Ferrari badge...Beautiful, simple, elegant , fast , unique car..I'm actually sad you guys talk about video editing and camera angles here.....This car is a masterpiece...and looks good in white...
Excellent video.. one of the best car channels on RUclips... honestly.. the quality of the videos is grand tour like.. big fan of your channel mr. jww.. congrats
Thanks so much!
The production quality is insane man
The way you talk about cars is an art form!! Loved the review & epic editing as usual ☝🏼👏🏻
What a gorgeous car, I love it.
That's how a review should be done. Thank you!
You nailed it james , not just the driving. , the editing, bravo sir .
I love this channel
Suck that this video was embargoed till now. Such an amazing car and a video covering the car.
It seems your on target for 500k subs by then end of the year, with videos like this its a done deal
Love from Australia ❤️🇦🇺 Keep up the amazing content James!!!
Thanks buddy!
Mr JWW legend!!! 😎
Gold Coast :D
James Lovett FNQ! 😋
Melbourne!!!!
I'm a Lamborghini fanboy but i really like that dark blue interior.
best car reviewer on youtube
hiram abif to each our own.
Brilliant video as per usual,and love the fact that you speak the everyday man's language while showing us all what the cars are about and capable of,instead of talking about it... this is why your channel stands out... keep it up and thank you! :)
My uncle owns this car. It’s an absolute beauty!
Best RUclipsr bar none. Great job James
Ferrari has done a fantastic job at reinventing it's "entry level" car. I was among the many people who found the California T to be a little soft in both design and performance. The Portofino looks and sounds to be more "masculine' (for lack of a better word, I mean no offense) and at some angles might even be looked at as a "baby 599 or f12." And as always, Mr. JWW does an incredible job of showing this car in the real world and not the factory or corporate media review video.
Great video !!! Always a pleasure to watch..👍👍👍
Best Car RUclipsr hands down no one else compares
7:48 bravo on sound editing trick
This video was epic James! loved the editing and the great review! You honestly can't look at this kind of content and say "RUclipsrs aren't as good as magazine journalists", I think you know what I mean...
Appreciated thanks buddy
Yet another AMAZING video James!! You are the daddy when it comes to videos like this!! I love the pure quality of your content!! Keep up the excellent work!! 👍😀
Great video! Well put together!
Thank you sir!
What a bright start to my morning, good morning James have a great day! 😀
Thanks buddy! Enjoy the video 😄
Mike Deveraux no problem mate glad to hear
What a beautiful car! Reminds me of the zagato vantage
One of the best automotive RUclips channels! Content is right there in the zone. Keep it up buddy! ✌🏻👍🏻
Your filming quality its really top notch!!!
I don't like the portofino aesthetically.. like the california too.. but this one sounds really good.
The content on this channel its setting the bar too high... and i believe other youtubers can't match what you are doing James. Keep it up.
Amazing at what you are doing man love you !
Most satisfying review to watch! Filled with passion...
BBC details level right here .... outstanding !!
Man that setting for this event is beautiful!! Such an elegant place! Keep up the AMAZING work*James* .... you really know how to talk to the viewers and are so well spoken 👌
I actually really like the sound of this. It's not the loudest or most flamboyant but it seems quite unique!!
Epic as always, best car RUclips channel by a long shot!
My GOD! the soundtrack this car plays while revving is pure car porn . Just audio nirvana. Great review
Always love your videos. Good job Mr.JWW.
Once again James is back setting the benchmark ! - awesome work mate.
Damn, driving part without talking gave me goosebumps, sound was really arousing, I like the car, can't even imagine how it is to own something like that. For us who never drove such cars it would be orgasmic experience! Great stuff James!
One of RUclips's more underrated channels, number of subscribers should be at least tripled.
Thanks for the support 😊👍🏻
Your channel has become more informative classy with some catchy music tunes to keep the viewers on their feet at all times. Definitely a completely more mature version of its predecessor. Can't wait to see it in person.
My go to car content whenever i want it, awesome video once again, thank you kind Sir! :)
The editing 👌
Sending greetings from Sydney, Australia. 🇦🇺 First Portofino arrived here last week. Great video as always James.
I'm still amazed at how fast the transmissions are getting in these cars. I was watching you tap the paddles the whole video, and the response is near instant. It's insane.
Fantastic video, your reviews are always awesome. You get straight to the point and show us exactly what we want to see as viewers.
Thanks Alex 👍🏻
Really one of the best looking ferrari's in modern times. A massive step up from the Cali for sure
Such a beautiful and well-made video! This channel deserves more subscribers.
Ferrari are very clever on handing you the cars for reviewing. Great Job with the multi cameras, the locution and the editing. They would never get this kind of job done with a big agency. This is much more intimate work! - Hope they pay you well! - Keep Up the Good Work!
James, Thanks for posting the specifications. That is awesome information for us car nerds.👍
1:21 The famous MrJWW laugh 👏
Love your content mate, can’t wait for top marques, been a subscriber since day 1 and each video you upload just gets better and better.
I have no qualms about stating as fact that MrJWW is right up there with Chris Harris in terms of production quality.
Very kind of you bro! Thanks for watching
No problem. That'll be $600. I'm building a new business and every time you release a video I have to drop what I'm doing and it costs me money!! Lolol. Keep up the good work.
And talks the talk,without exaggerating, and as always pushes the cars at all times,where possible... showing us what those cars are built for...
Top notch quality as always! Particularly love the opening! :)
I was watching Shane's video of the same car, but your video was recommended - so now I am watching your video.
Beautiful cinematography of my favorite region of Italy the Alberobello region of Puglia my old stomping grounds brought back lots of memories. Awesome review James.
Love it! Thanks James..... I'm pleased they've stepped it up a bit since the Cali T. You aren't the only one with those views. Looking forward to seeing one now.
One word for your videos James, classy. Love it, thanks so much :-)
Another amazing video James. Vid had me saying “next level” and I’m not even near the car 😂
Ha ha awesome to hear 👍🏻
Your smiling face tells a lot about how good this car is... 👍
that blue interior is crazy
Spot on production, straight review of a "softest" Ferrari
Thanks Igor 👍🏻
Always looking forward for your reviews of the supercars. So much passion and great driving skills. Greetings from Poland! :-)
James your channel is just amazing....
Love your content .
I love your cinematography as always. I wouldn't be adverse to a few more interior shots now and again. Especially on a brand new model. I'd love to see a bit more of what the driver sees, as that is a huge part of the experience. Thanks for content.
Fantastic video, ridiculously high quality as always.
This is simply the most beautiful ferrari ever made. Bullseye.
Watched 3 reviews yours was the best ,not to much chat showed and heard the car , film quality was crisp and edited spot on .Ferrari as a tourer have most likely got it about right it's better than the California , styling is safe , I personally don't like the rear or the clam shell opening to store the roof, but that's my opinion the price with options if it is £200,000 is way over the top , and that to my mind is the big question to how well it sells . But a good review
Immersed in context
I love your videos you deserve way more subs!
Thanks! Lots more to come 😄
Looks way better than california
Loving the increase of POV shots in the vids this year James! Kept it up
Look much better than the Cali T
Good video and content, I’m not sure I’ll be dropping to my knees just yet like some of your other posters but enjoyable all the same. Keep up the good work.
That does sound quite good for a turbo engine.Nice video as always james
Outstanding video, I love the mature Gentleman’s Racer feel that you apply to your videos.
Great video James, always watch your content first over the other YT's who cover the same cars! Your passion and enthusiasm go a long ways, keep up the great work!
Thanks Jeff! Appreciate it 👍🏻
Without wanting to blow too much smoke up your arse James, you really have got this "presenting" sketch off to a T. Even if the quality of the editing wasn't up to much {it's pretty much as good if not better than 99.9% of you tube broadcasted motor content} I know people would still watch you.
As much as I'd like to write you off as somebody I'd take an instant dislike to if I saw you face to face (Flash twat etc lol) I don't think I'd be able to. You've got that infectious enthusiasm, genuine personality and descriptive manner that people switch onto.
It's only a matter of time before a multi-platformed, high profile motoring show gets wind and signs you up, me thinks.
So what do we think of the new Ferrari Portofino so far? While the car is still a little on the softer - grand tourers style of driving - i found it to be a lot more engaging and entertaining than the California T it replaces! Ultimately for me a good car makes me want to keep on driving it and the Portofino left me wanting to explore it further...
Mr JWW Isn't the AMG GTR a much better value for the same money?
Not in a million yrs I would take the angry gtr over this
Aly Asher this car is for people who want a Ferrari that looks good and drives with comfort. A lot of these are just weekend cars for the higher working class.
Amazing car , love the retractable hardtop.
Would love to own one.
Mr JWW Hi I Highly appreciate this very good Video and your professional comments. I already ordered one in December but still don’t know when I get it delivered. However even you placed your order you still can add / change your options until it goes into production and I don’t know if I should add the Magneride double suspension? What is your recommendation? Thanks
Absolutely love this channel , feel bad it took me so long to watch . Loved playing catch up . Keep going !
Thanks Rob!
Phenomenal content and editing. This channel and brand will become massive. You heard it here, from the president.
JFK Cream always rises to the top😉
Great video again james, this thing looks so much nicer than the cali t
Great video
It's beautiful car!! did not expect that!!
