| Ferrari has unveiled the new Portofino convertible, a rakish replacement for the California T, in a series of official photographs ahead of its planned public premiere at the Frankfurt motor show next month.
Sporting a revised version of its predecessor’s folding hardtop roof, the Portofino represents the new entry level for the Ferrari line-up. It is one of four front-engined Ferrari models, including the 812 Superfast, F12tdf Berlinetta and GTC4 Lusso
The new model, which is planned to reach North American showrooms in early 2018, is based around a new aluminium platform that is claimed to be significantly lighter than that used by the California T, but with greater rigidity due to what the Italian car maker describes as new production techniques.
Ferrari has not revealed how much lighter the Portofino is than the California, which tipped the scales at 1625kg. However, it puts its weight distribution is 46:54 front-to-rear. Â
