XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — Ferrari PORTOFINO 2017-2026

The Portofino’s brief was always the harder of the two – a front-engined V8 GT that had to behave on a Friday-night cross-country run and then turn up at a circuit on Sunday without feeling out of its depth. The factory adaptive damping does a decent job of papering over the chassis’s 1,664kg kerb weight, but anyone who has pushed an FE07 through a fast third-gear sweeper knows the body wants to take a set later than the front axle does. That is the gap the Super Sport closes.

This is the XYZ Racing Super Sport coilover for the Ferrari Portofino, built for fast-road work with the occasional track weekend in mind. It swaps the factory’s compromise tune for a 36-way adjustable damper and proper ride-height control, so the car settles where you want it to and stays planted when the road stops being smooth.

What this coilover does for your 2017-2026 Ferrari Portofino

Drop the Portofino 20-25mm and the visual problem the standard car has – that slight nose-up rake under the front arches – goes away immediately. More importantly, the centre of gravity shifts with it, and the front end loads cleaner on turn-in. The 36 clicks of damping let you run the rears slightly softer than the fronts for road use, which keeps the long wheelbase from going skittish over mid-corner ridges, then firm everything up for a track session without touching a spanner. The retractable hardtop’s weight bias high in the structure makes the Portofino unusually sensitive to roll rate, and a coilover with this much adjustment range gives you somewhere to put that sensitivity.

About the Super Sport coilover

The Super Sport sits in XYZ Racing’s range as the fast-road-plus-occasional-track option, and the damper itself is built to handle both jobs without forcing a choice. Bump and rebound run on a combined 36-way adjuster, so a single click changes the damper’s character rather than just one half of the curve. Ride height is independent of preload, which matters on a car as long as the Portofino – you can drop the nose without coil-binding the spring or eating into bump travel. XYZ Racing’s claim for the Super Sport is that it removes the harshness that cheaper coilovers introduce on broken surfaces, and in practice the high-flow valving is what does that work. It is engineered to be liveable as a daily damper and still composed enough for a weekend at Bedford or Anglesey.

Fitment for the Ferrari Portofino (2017-2026)

This kit is specified for the FE07 chassis Portofino across the full 2017-2026 model run, covering both the original Portofino and the Portofino M refresh. SKU XYZ-COIL-FE07-SS is the front-engined V8 GT fitment only and does not cross-reference to the California T it replaced.
