Al Tayer Motors won the exclusive Ferrari Portofino Preview ahead of Dubai International Motor Show

Dubai - Al Tayer Motors, the UAE's official Ferrari import dealer, made a Portofino preview for customers ahead of the regional launch of the V8 Grand Tourer at the Dubai International Motor Show. The elegant event, held at The Jetty Lounge, One & Only Royal Mirage in Dubai, was designed to capture the ambience of the beautiful Italian city after which it is named. About 200 guests gathered in this beach lounge to blend in to an exclusive setting, anticipating Maranello's latest addition to his legendary stage. The event was hosted by Mr Dieter Knechtel, Chief Executive Officer - Far East and Middle East, Ferrari, who greeted the guests with a warm speech before allowing Portofino to take over the center.
Ferrari has chosen a particularly appealing name for this extremely versatile car. Portofino is known for its charming resort port and over the years, it has become internationally synonymous with understated elegance, sportsmanship and luxury. The launch color of the new Ferrari is also dedicated to this wonderful city: Rosso Portofino. Capable of delivering a massive 600 cv and sprinting from 0 to 100 km / h in just 3.5 seconds, the Ferrari Portofino is the most powerful convertible to combine the advantages of a difficult to retract height, a wide space and the generous cockpit space plus the two rear seats suitable for short trips. The new Ferrari Portofino chassis features a significant weight savings over the T California it replaces. Thanks to the widespread use of modern production technologies, all components of the chassis and body in white have been redesigned with a consistent reduction in weight despite an increase in torsional stiffness.
