Ferrari has revealed the brand-new Portofino, an open-top redesign of the California T, Express.co.uk reports. 


The new GT will be powered by the twin-turbo V8 from the 488 GTB supercar, now producing 591bhp and 759 Nm of torque.  


This makes it very quick, giving it a 0-62mph sprint time of 3.5 seconds a rumoured 200+mph top speed.


In addition to the hefty powertrain sitting under the bonnet the car is significantly lighter than the California T. 


The car’s redesigned body structure is more robust, rigid and lighter, as it is now built with an aluminium chassis. 


Handling should also be improved on the car with the third-generation electronic rear differential having being added its specs. 


California T’s magnetic dampers have been upgraded to dual-coil technology which should improve the ride quality and reduce roll.


According to Ferrari the car will also surprisingly return 26.9mpg combined, which is equal to the new BMW M5.
