Ferrari Roma vs Portofino: Which Grand Tourer Should You Buy?

Ferrari's front-engine V8 grand tourers are the most usable cars the brand makes — but the Roma and the Portofino chase different drivers. Here is the honest comparison.

Ferrari Roma: the elegant coupe

A fixed-roof coupe with clean, design-led styling.
Pure grand-touring character — refined, fast, and understated.
Best if you want the most beautiful, driver-focused everyday Ferrari.

Ferrari Portofino: the convertible GT

A retractable hardtop for open-air touring.
More versatile for the Florida lifestyle, with the later M bringing more power.
Best if you want top-down driving and four-season flexibility.

Which should you buy?

Choose the Roma for coupe purity and design; choose the Portofino if open-air driving matters. Both are excellent first Ferraris and genuine daily-usable exotics.
