What makes a set of floor mats worth $1,350 in the Ferrari Portofino?
Khodrocar - The Ferrari Portofino takes over the reins from the California T in the
Prancing Horse's lineup to fill the role as a sporty roadster with a
folding hardtop for year-round drivability and a tiny rear seat that
allows for carrying more than two people in a pinch. The firm has
started taking orders for the droptop, and a user on Ferrari Chat got
ahold of the full options list, including prices.
The money that Ferrari charges for some of these extras is absolutely astounding, especially when they are features like Apple CarPlay and folding seatbacks that are standard features on many everyday cars. Even minor accessories like floor mats cost over a thousand dollars.
Various Front Grilles - $1,687
If the Portofino's standard front grille somehow isn't nice enough for you, Ferrari offers three alternate designs at a rather pricey $1,687. Buyers can choose to to have the grille's edges in shiny chrome or darker black chrome. For a different look, the entire piece can be black chrome, too.
Fire Extinguisher - $1,097
A fire extinguisher could potentially save a driver if something goes seriously wrong with the Portofino, but charging $1,097 for one seems outrageous.
Porsche also offers a fire extinguisher for the 911 GT2 RS, and the company charges $140 for it, which seems like a bargain compared to Ferrari.
Ferrari buyers looking to save a grand can get an extinguisher that comes packaged with the necessary mounting bracket for $60 on Amazon.
Front-Facing Parking Camera - $6,075
Because of automotive regulations in the United States, the Portofino must come with a rear-facing camera, so this equipment is standard on the vehicle.
However, adding a parking camera in front is a $6,075 upgrade. If your perception is so bad that help is necessary when pulling into a parking space, maybe a 591-horsepower (441-kilowatt) sports car isn't the right choice for you.
Carbon Fiber Cup Holder - $2,531
Ferrari offers a wide range of expensive carbon fiber accessories for the Portofino, but the cup holder carries the most shocking price among them. The cost of keeping your bottle of water in lightweight luxury is an astonishing $2,531. The price seems like a joke until you realize this isn't even Ferrari's most expensive cup holder in recent year. On the F12 Berlinetta, the Prancing Horse charged $3,533 for the carbon fiber part.
Colored Rev Counter - $776 or $979
Like the yellow rev counter in this image? The sunflower color adds $776 to the Portofino's price. Alternatively, a red version carries the same cost. You can pay more, too. Ferrari also offers the rev counter in aluminum or white for $979.
Colored Floor Mats With Ferrari Logo - $1,350
Ferrari's prancing horse logo already adorns quite of bit of real estate in the Portofino's cabin. If buyers want to add the stallions to the floor on the colored mats, then the luxury costs $1,350. It seems like a lot to pay for some mats with horses on them.
