XYZ Racing Racing Spec Coilovers — Ferrari PORTOFINO (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) 2017-2026

The Portofino left Maranello with magnetorheological dampers wired into the car’s brain, and that electronic system is exactly what stops most owners going further with the suspension. Pull the OE units, plug a hardwired coilover in, and the dash lights up like Christmas. This kit solves that first – the cancellation harness keeps the ECU satisfied while the chassis gets a proper mechanical setup underneath it.

That matters on a front-engined V8 GT that weighs the better part of 1,800kg dry and runs serious rubber. The F154 twin-turbo up front loads the nose hard on corner entry, and the standard adaptive setup is tuned for road-biased compliance. Racing Spec is the opposite end of the brief – circuit-focused damping for owners who actually take a Portofino to Bedford, Donington, or a hot lap at Spa.

What this coilover does for your 2017-2026 Ferrari Portofino

Body control is the first thing you notice. The Portofino’s long wheelbase and front-mid V8 layout reward a damper that can resist nose-dive into Stowe and still settle the rear over kerbs – the OE magnetic units chase that compromise, this kit picks a side. Spring rates and damping curves set for track use mean the chassis stops squatting under power-down out of slow corners, and turn-in sharpens without the steering going nervous mid-corner. You’ll feel the diff loading earlier. You’ll get the rotation a heavy GT shouldn’t really have, but does once the weight transfer is properly contained. The cancellation kit means none of this comes with a permanent amber warning light on the binnacle.

About the Racing Spec coilover

Racing Spec is XYZ’s circuit-tier damper, and the settings come directly out of race programmes – WTCC participation is what feeds the baseline valving. Construction targets repeat heat cycles and the kind of compression loading you only see on track, where every lap stacks load into the damper without time to recover between corners. For cars with substantial upgrades – aero packages, slick tyres, beyond-OE power – XYZ build custom valving on request: send them the spec sheet for your car and the circuit you’re running, and the dampers can be tailored to that combination rather than handed over as a generic shelf item. That’s why this tier exists separately from Super Sport or Top Sport; it assumes the car is being prepared for a specific job, not bought off the rack.

Fitment for the Ferrari Portofino (2017-2026)

This kit is the FE07-C application for the Portofino, 2017 to 2026, and ships with the electronic damping cancellation module needed to disable the OE magnetorheological control without throwing fault codes. The cancellation hardware is integral – this is not a coilover sold separately from the bypass.
