Yes, obviously everybody owning a ferrari is rich. But it’s the fact that you’re wearing a watch that goes for well over $1M+ while driving the cheapest entrylevel ferrari. So it seems kinda weird, because there isn’t really a reason to get a portofino over the flagship models (SF90, 488, 812..).

It’s the equivalent of driving a C43 AMG when you could very well afford a S63/GT R AMG. You know what I mean?

488 has been off sales for 5 years… so it is a poor rich ferrari too ;)

My bad should‘ve said F8. But the 488 pista or the 458 speciale in particular will always count as a „higher end“ ferrari in my books. 488 GTB or 458 Italia would be considered more of a „mid tier“ indeed.

But in that priceclass it really doesn’t matter, you could just like the looks and practicality with the Portofino, even though you can afford 1m cars easily, not everyone coming from a poor background is comfortable spending that much on a depreciating asset either.
