Sounds crazy, right? A "practical" Ferrari. But for a supercar in Dubai, the Portofino is as daily-friendly as it gets. That retractable hardtop is its secret weapon. Cruising along Jumeirah Beach Road with the roof down from November to March is pure magic. When the summer hits, you just tap a button, and it’s a quiet, air-conditioned coupe.

The 3.9-liter V8’s roar is intoxicating on an open highway, but it can also be surprisingly calm in traffic. The front lifts easily for speed bumps, which is a total lifesaver here. Of course, it’s still a Ferrari. It’s low, the boot is tiny, and every journey requires planning.

But if you want the ultimate Italian thrill that you can actually use most of the year, the Portofino is your car. It’s the perfect blend of drama and (relative) sense.
