The Ferrari Portofino is a natural evolution of the Prancing Horse’s commitment to performance, further pushing the envelope of what a car can do on the road and the track. Replacing the Ferrari California T, the Portofino has drawn numerous competitors, and a Jaguar F-TYPE vs. Ferrari Portofino comparison is a thought that’s occurred to many. Let’s see how they stack up.
Any Jaguar vs. Ferrari performance comparison is going to have the same result: the Prancing Horse leaves this cat in the dust. The Portofino’s 3.9L V8 Twin-Turbo engine is capable of producing 591 hp and 560 lb-ft of torque, utterly embarrassing the F-TYPE’s turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder, which is only capable of 296 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque.
This translates to real-world performance, too: the Ferrari is capable of a top speed of 200 mph as well as a 0-60-mph-time of 3.5 seconds. The F-TYPE just can’t keep up, being capable of a top speed of 155 mph and a 0-to-60-mph-time of 5.4 seconds.
Sleek exteriors and cutting-edge aerodynamic engineering are hallmarks of every Ferrari; the F-TYPE isn’t exactly a slouch in terms of its design, but it simply doesn’t reach the level of the Portofino, and that’s borne out in the considerable gap in these cars’ performance capabilities. Some of the aerodynamic innovations you’ll find on the Portofino that you won’t find on the F-TYPE include:
Both the Portofino and the F-TYPE are indisputably luxury vehicles, but it’s clear that one is built to provide the driver with track-focused performance metrics while the other is meant to pamper the occupants. This isn’t to say that the Portofino doesn’t offer incredible interior amenities — it offers Apple CarPlay and an available JBL premium audio system, among other things — but it does speak to the priorities of each vehicle.
The Portofino’s steering wheel is compact to allow for a full view of the instrument cluster, while the dashboard’s dual five-inch displays make crucial vehicle performance data easily visible. There are comforts here — such as eighteen-way adjustable front seats — but the design bends toward giving the driver everything they need to maximize the car’s performance.
These two sports cars are in different leagues entirely, and the Portofino’s performance and design speak multitudes.

TheĀ announcement that Ferrari will return to the top class of the World Endurance Championship with a new Le Mans Hypercar in 2023 ignites memories of the first sparks of the relationship between Ferrari and endurance racing. Just two years after their first production car, two V12 Ferrari 166MMs entered in the 1949 24 Hours of Le Mans. The first Le Mans to take place after World War II. After six hours of racing, one of the Ferraris got caught in an accident, leaving the driver team of the Italian-born Luigi Chinetti and British Peter Mitchell-Thomson in a gruesome battle…
