Exterior

Designed by the Ferrari Design Center, the Ferrari Portofino 2019 underwent significant bodily changes. The result remains the Best of the Best 2019 award from Reddot.

Ferrari designers and engineers overhaul the architecture to be more rigid by 35 percent than the Ferrari California T. 

 

Body-in-white components are integrated more broadly. Pillar A Ferrari Portofino 2019 only consists of two pieces compared to the previous model, which delivers 21 parts. 

 

Modern production technology, especially sand-casting, allows the creation of hollow sections. As a result, the designer constructs innovative forms that are lighter.

What about the exterior details of the Ferrari grand tourer car whose name is taken from the exotic village of Portofino in Italy? The following obtain a comprehensive explanation of the 2019 Portofino Ferrari exterior.

The front exterior of the Ferrari Portofino 2019 features an aggressive impression, combined with an elegant and dynamic body curve. 

 

The quite dominant grille design in the front fascia will steal the show. There are two parallel vertical lines with a firm center line on the front hood if you notice.

Near the grille area, a pair of scoop air with a fairly dominant position satisfies the car’s front side.

If you notice, a pair of aero holes seem to hide behind the LED headlight’s general design. Packed more horizontally and follows the curves of the front fenders. 

 

These aero hole functions as an air curtain to reduce the drag effect created on the front wheels. 

 

Not only that, but a pair of air holes in the hood additionally serves to transfer heat from the engine room while supporting the aerodynamics of the car.

From the side, the concept of two-box fastback is visible as the significant theme of the 2019 Ferrari Portofino. 

 

However, the Ferrari designers try giving an exotic silhouette effect when exposed to light. Thanks to the beautiful curved design lines from the point of the front wheels to the rear stern. 

 

The aerodynamics side has become the crucial concern of the Ferrari Design Center designers. They embed air extraction fin as a solution to reduce air resistance in the front tire fender space.

The Ferrari Portofino 2019 acquires an elegant aura formed through curves in the stern rear area. 

 

The tail light placement is deliberately designed not to be incorporated in the boot lid, feels more retro because of its rounded shape. 

 

Clear diffuser under the bumper so dominant, especially now flanked by a quad exhaust and claimed to deliver a superior sound like other Ferrari cars.

The RHT roof model was chosen because the Ferrari Portofino 2019 has two opposing characters. 

 

When the roof mode is closed, the coupe “Berlinetta” character is more highlighted, while the open roof mode emphasizes the experience of driving a GT car with a gentle breeze along the way. 

 

But technically, the process of opening or closing the RHT Ferrari Portofino 2019 roof can be done within 14 seconds.
