Newer Aero has been introduced in the Portofino, air intakes channel air from front of the car to its sides and a new electronic differential at the rear to help put the power down more efficiently with much less wheel spin. Design-wise Portofino looks pretty new as compared to its predecessor the California T, with some design elements resembling the 812 Superfast, but its more aggressive and sporty as compared to the older California T. There is no information about the price yet! 

The car will make its debut in the Frankfurt Motor Show and will be available by 2018.
