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

The Portofino was never built with sealed-stage tarmac rally in mind. Ferrari’s front-mid-engined GT carries its weight forward of the cabin, runs magnetorheological dampers tuned for autostrada composure, and rides on an electronic suspension map that fights every input you didn’t ask the factory ECU to expect. Strip that system out and the chassis underneath is genuinely capable – a stiff aluminium spaceframe with a 50:50-ish balance once the V8 is settled – but it needs a mechanical damper that can actually take the hits.

That is what this kit is for. The XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally coilover for the 2017-2026 Ferrari Portofino (chassis FE07-C) is a full mechanical replacement for the factory electronic setup, with a cancellation harness so the car’s adaptive damping ECU doesn’t throw a fault the moment you turn the key.

What this coilover does for your 2017-2026 Ferrari Portofino

Swapping to a mechanical damper on an FE07-C does two things the factory shocks cannot. First, you get an honest rate curve – the Portofino’s mag-ride system is brilliant on a smooth road and confused on a broken one, and a stage surface with frost-heave and patch repairs falls squarely into the second category. The Tarmac Rally damper soaks the big single hits without crashing through, then settles the body fast enough that the next compression has something to work against. Second, you stop fighting an ECU that wants to firm up under load exactly when you’d rather the wheel was staying planted. Traction across mid-corner ripples improves immediately, and the front end stops skating on turn-in over coarse tarmac. The cancellation kit eliminates the dashboard error the car would otherwise throw once the magnetic dampers are unplugged.

About the Tarmac Rally coilover

XYZ’s Tarmac Rally specification is built around one job: absorbing irregular impacts on a sealed surface without losing tyre contact. Damper valving favours fast-moving compression – the kind of input you get hitting a ridge at speed – while keeping rebound controlled enough to stop the body pitching after the hit. The result is a suspension that can take a heavy bump without bottoming and recover before the next one arrives. XYZ state the settings come directly from their tarmac rally programme rather than a road-going compromise, so spring rates and damper ranges sit higher than a Super Sport street kit but are not as brutal as a circuit-only Top Sport. For a Portofino used on closed tarmac stages, sprints, or rough hill climbs, that middle ground is the right place to be. The cancellation harness is included as part of this listing because the FE07-C will not accept a passive damper without it.

Fitment for the Ferrari Portofino (2017-2026)

This kit fits the FE07-C Portofino across the full 2017-2026 production range and includes the electronic damping cancellation harness required to disable the factory adaptive system. Mechanical fitment is direct-replacement on the standard mounting points; the cancellation kit handles the ECU side.
