THE COLLECTION Hosts Ferrari Portofino Launch Event

Dark Blue Ferrari Portofino at The Collection

Just two weeks after THE COLLECTION opened its door to their all new Ferrari dealership, they hosted the launch event for the brand-new Ferrari Portofino. On Thursday, April 26th, 2018, guests had the opportunity to join Ken Gorin at THE COLLECTION Ferrari and soon after at Ferrari of Miami for a celebration of the newest Ferrari launch. Guests who started at THE COLLECTION were escorted to the new location, Ferrari of Miami, by a police-led caravan to enjoy refreshments and see the new dealership. After the celebration, over thirty Ferraris took over Biscayne Boulevard as they traveled to the Rubell Family Collection for a private preview party of the all new Ferrari Portofino, hosted by Ferrari North America.

Dark Blue Ferrari Portofino at The Collection

The Ferrari Portofino is beautifully designed, to say the least. A lightweight speed machine, the Portofino is nothing less then impressive. The interior of the car has enough space for the driver and passenger, and even two rear seats in the back, perfect for a weekend road trip. One of the most noticeable changes to the Ferrari Portofino is its weight. Compared to the California T, the Portofino has shed significant pounds thanks to modern production technologies and materials used.

Experience the Ferrari Portofino for yourself at either one of Ken Gorin’s dealerships in Miami. Visit at THE COLLECTION Ferrari and THE COLLECTION Ferrari of Miami.

The highly anticipated Porsche 911 Turbo S Exclusive Series made its debut at THE COLLECTION dealership in Miami. Being one of Porsche’s sixteen Exclusive Manufaktur Dealers, THE COLLECTION was given the privilege of being among the first to unveil the posh Porsche 911 Turbo S Exclusive Series. Onlookers were able to get a first glimpse of this car with Ken Gorin, THE COLLECTION CEO.

This machine has 607 horsepower with a 0-60 time of 2.8 seconds with the Sport Chrono driving mode engaged. This car was built for exhilarating speed, topping out at 205 mph.
