    I'm a 6'6" 220 pound guy, and coming from a Porsche 991 I thought my options were limited. I had been going down the track of the Portofino the last few weeks, waiting for the right car to become available after testing it for comfort for about an hour. But now I'm seeing the 488 GTB pricing similar to pre-owned Portofinos for 1-2 years older and I've become more curious about this vehicle, which is more in-line with what I want looks-wise.

    Of course now we have everything on lockdown and I can't get up for another test drive until...who knows when.

    Does anyone out there have a frame of reference between the two vehicles? Heck, I've been searching all over the internet and can't even find the interior dimensions of either vehicle. Does anyone know them? Or can compare the room between the Portofino & the 488 GTB? FWIW the 991 have 38.8" of headroom & 45.8" of legroom.

    I am 6’5 and a half...225lbs...came from many Porsche’s, last one was a 991.2 (2018) GT3...loved that car. I have a 488GTB now and I fit. I also have a full left leg prosthetic too so it doesn’t bend like a real leg and I would fit even better if I still had my leg.

    I looked at the Portofino too but it didn’t turn me on like my GT3 did. Portofino seemed like a car my wife would drive. Nothing Imwould like to drive as my fun car. I looked at the F12 and almost went that way, what a cool car. However the 488 did it enough for me to trade the GT3. The 488 is much much faster, has awesome turn in on corners and is a real looker!
