    It looks much much better then the Cali T . Never liked the Cali, but this one looks good .

    As to being quicker then a GT3 , only maybe in straight line . Track or country roads, no way . 

    Not only that but I also assume that GT3 would be more fun to drive at the track and country roads than the turbocharged 2+2 Ferrari too. I don't see it as a good comparison, they are different cars with different purposes.

    Completely different cars . Don't why it was even mentioned together Smiley The Ferrari is a GT , heavy and probably aimed at confort . Should be compared to a convertible Panamera Smiley

    Re: Ferrari Portofino

    If by GT we mean a performance and luxury automobile capable of high speed and long-distance driving, the Porsche Panamera is the superior car in this remit.

    A lighter front engine V8 Ferrari with a fixed roof and roomier rear compartment would be a nice proposition. And a soft top version for those who like open air motoring.

    Vario roof models are supposed to offer the best of both worlds but they are ideal at none.

    At 200k+ I wouldn't be thinking of any Porsche cars, let alone a Panamera Smiley

    The answer to your 2nd paragraph with a choice of V8-T or V12 + AWD, but not lighter.

    Re: Ferrari Portofino

    The mere fact that the Portofino is in the same phrase as the GT3 is telling a lot. Anyhow, put the roof down and you will forget that the Portofino won't handle as well as the GT3. Where is the GT3 convertible with rear seats and a usable trunk again?
