Portofino not a sports car? News to me. I bet it performs better than most 911s even.

What's next, an 812 isn't a sports car, it's a GT car?

 

812, and the F12 before that, had always been a GT car. 

They eat up highway miles like it's nothing. Quite fast on a track too but they don't last. My F12 didn't last a whole day at the track.

The Speciale, the regular 458, the 488, are sports cars.

All the McLaren's are sports cars. 

Huracan is a sports car. Aventador, perhaps, it's not quite GT car as it doesn't have the room, it's not quite a sports car as it is not quite nimble.

A Alfa 4C is a sports car.

BMW Z4 is a sports car, M3/M4 isn't, one is a sports salon and the other a sporty coupe, but borderline a sports car.

Defining characteristics of a sports car is that it doesn't have to be very powerful, but it will need to be nimble and can change direction quickly, be it side by side or forward and backward. It also doesn't have a lot of space outside of a couple people.

My Cayenne does better lap times around my track than a Cayman, doesn't mean the Cayenne is a sports car, the Cayman however is.

Portofino being the faster car over a 911 doesn't means it's a sports car.
