Ferrari Portofino Rental in Los Angeles
The black Ferrari Portofino with the black and yellow interior is based in Los Angeles. It is the Ferrari convertible you book for 2 people and a weekend, a folding hardtop with rear seats, steering light enough for a first Ferrari, and yellow seatbelts that show the moment the roof goes down. Book it for delivery in Los Angeles, Orange County and the Inland Empire.
How It Drives
The steering is light and the brake pedal is soft at the top, and that is the point. The Portofino is the Ferrari built for someone driving their first one. Press the red button and the 3.9L twin-turbo V8 settles into a low burble. In auto the 7-speed dual-clutch shifts early and quietly, and with the roof down you hear a baritone V8 that hardens the moment you turn the manettino to Sport. 591 hp and 0 to 60 in 3.5 seconds means it will reel in anything on the 405 when you ask, but it does not insist. The ride on the magnetic dampers is soft for a Ferrari, and bumpy road mode makes it softer again. Take it down Ocean Avenue along Palisades Park and onto PCH toward Malibu, roof down, with the coast ahead of you.
How It Photographs
Black over black with yellow stitching and yellow seatbelts only shows itself with the roof down, so shoot it open. In direct sun the black paint reflects the sky and the yellow calipers are the first thing the eye finds, so shoot low and wide with the wheels in frame. In open shade the body reads as one dark shape and the yellow belts are the colour. After dark the yellow details hold. Shoot from behind, over the rear deck, at the 2 yellow belts and the Cavallino on each headrest. Shoot close on the yellow caliper inside the silver wheel. These photos were taken under the glass towers of Century City.
Why This One
We run 2 Portofinos. The other is burgundy over tan and based in Orange County. This is the black one with the yellow interior, the only Portofino we base in Los Angeles, the lower-key of the 2 outside and the louder one inside. It seats 2 adults and 2 children, which no 2-seat Ferrari can do, so it is the one for a couple bringing a child or a weekend of bags. Pick it for a Ferrari convertible out of Los Angeles that does not read as the red one.
What's On This One
This is the Portofino, the folding hardtop Ferrari with 2 rear seats. Standard on it is the 591 hp 3.9L twin-turbo V8, the 7-speed dual-clutch, rear-wheel drive, carbon ceramic brakes, magnetic dampers with bumpy road mode, a 10.3 inch centre touchscreen and a roof that folds in about 14 seconds. This one is black on silver 5-spoke wheels with yellow calipers, with the Scuderia shields on the front wings. Inside it is black leather with yellow stitching on the seats, doors and dash, yellow seatbelts, a yellow Cavallino stitched into each headrest, a steering wheel with a carbon top and the shift lights, and a red Ferrari key. The rear seats take 2 children or 2 bags.
