Enzo Ferrari

Founded in 1947 by Enzo Ferrari, the Ferrari name is synonymous with motorsport heritage, exceptional engineering, and unmistakable Italian design. Built in Maranello, Italy, every Ferrari is the product of decades of Formula 1-derived technology filtered down into road-going masterpieces.


Owning, or even hiring, a Ferrari isn't just about transport it's about joining a story that includes legends like the 250 GTO, the F40, and the modern hypercars that define the brand today. The Ferrari Portofino represents the brand's grand touring lineage a spiritual successor to the California T built to combine breathtaking performance with genuine comfort and everyday drivability.


Rosso Corsa Red

This particular Portofino comes finished in Rosso Corsa ("racing red") Ferrari's most iconic and historically significant colour, worn by the brand's factory racing cars since the early days of motorsport. Paired with the gloss black multi-spoke alloy wheels and signature yellow brake calipers, this colour combination is the definitive, classic Ferrari look bold, glamorous, and instantly recognisable wherever it goes. If you've ever pictured what a "Ferrari" looks like in your mind's eye, this is it.
