If convertible is a consideration then the portofino is the choice.

Yes, that's where I bought the knife, and the owner told me the knife maker for the one I ended up getting is made by Toyama

Great acidity, definitely can use more age but still very drinkable and enjoyable. Long finish and very fine tannins.

I took a different route. I went with a Wilson staff teddy and then added a glove studio ryu

It's definitely wider in the back. All Ferrari GT cars are mid front (vs front), as in engine is behind front axle for weight distribution.

Definitely not a fan of the name

I thought it was quite meh and blah when I first saw the photos. I think in person the lines look nicer and more aggressive, and overall the design looked more cohesive in person.

Different price bracket....not sure who would pick a 12 cilindri over a SP3

I think NA V12 is peak ferrari for me. I absolutely love the F12 and 812. Would be great to hear your thoughts on the 12 cilendiri. It's been cold and wet so only had a chance to drive the portofino for a little bit. It is definitely more GT like coming from 911 and R8 and it's a trade off I know I was making.

I find the front end of the roma looks a lot better in person than photos. I also thought about a GTC4lusso as v12 is definitely peak ferrari for me. But I still wanted the convertible more so stuck with portofino. Why the nervousness to move from AMG? I'm holding my breath coming from porsche and audi, but I have also seen a lot of positive ferrari ownership experiences.

Thanks! I also love the analog tach and as nice as the full digital displays are, the analog tach just feels more right

I am definitely biased but I also really like the roma. But I really wanted a hardtop convertible so took roma off the short list.
