Compare the2023 Aston Martin DB11VS 2022 Ferrari Portofino

The Aston Martin DB11 has standard driver and front passenger side knee airbags mounted low on the dashboard. These airbags helps prevent the driver and front passenger from sliding under their seatbelts or the main frontal airbags; this keeps them better positioned during a collision for maximum protection. Knee airbags also help keep the legs from striking the dashboard, preventing knee and leg injuries in the case of a serious frontal collision. The Portofino doesn’t offer knee airbags.

The DB11 has standard head airbag curtains which act as a forgiving barrier between the driver and front passenger's upper bodies and the window and pillars. Combined with high-strength steel door beams and lower side airbags this system increases head protection in broadside collisions. The Portofino doesn't offer side airbag protection for the head.

The DB11 has a standard Birds-eye Camera to allow the driver to see objects all around the vehicle on a screen. The Portofino only offers front and rear parking sensors that beep or flash a light. That doesn’t help with obstacles to the sides.

Both the DB11 and the Portofino have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, four-wheel antilock brakes, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding and front and rear parking sensors.

The DB11’s corrosion warranty is 7 years longer than the Portofino’s (10 vs. 3 years).

The DB11 V12’s standard 5.2 turbo V12 produces 18 more horsepower (630 vs. 612) than the Portofino’s 3.9 turbo V8.

An engine control system that can shut down some of the engine’s cylinders helps improve the DB11 V12’s fuel efficiency. The Portofino doesn’t offer a system that can shut down part of the engine.

For better stopping power the DB11’s brake rotors are larger than those on the Portofino:

In an emergency stopping situation, many drivers don’t press the brakes with enough force to stop the vehicle in the shortest distance. The DB11 has a standard Hydraulic Brake Assist to detect emergency braking situations (by how hard and how quickly the brake pedal is pressed) and then automatically apply maximum braking immediately in order to help prevent a collision. The Portofino doesn’t offer a brake assist feature.

For better traction, the DB11 has larger tires than the Portofino (F:255/40R20 & R:295/35R20 vs. F:245/35R20 & R:285/35R20).

For a smoother ride and more stable handling, the DB11’s wheelbase is 5.3 inches longer than on the Portofino (110.4 inches vs. 105.1 inches).

For better handling and stability, the track (width between the wheels) on the DB11 is 1.3 inches wider in the front and .4 inches wider in the rear than on the Portofino.

The DB11 Volante has a much larger trunk with its top down than the Portofino with its top down (8.5 vs. 5 cubic feet).

To make loading groceries and cargo easier when your hands are full, the DB11’s trunk can be opened just by kicking your foot under the back bumper, leaving your hands completely free. The Portofino doesn’t offer a hands-free gesture to open its trunk, forcing you to put cargo down if your hands are full.

Unlike the driver-only memory system in the Portofino, the DB11 has standard driver and passenger memory, so that when drivers switch, the memory setting adjusts the driver’s seat, steering wheel position and outside mirror angle and the front passenger seat also adjusts to the new passenger’s preset preferences.

The DB11’s rain-sensitive wipers adjust their speed and turn on and off automatically based on the amount of rainfall on the windshield. This allows the driver to concentrate on driving without constantly adjusting the wipers. The Portofino’s

On extremely cold winter days, the DB11’s optional heated steering wheel provides comfort, allowing the driver to steer safely and comfortably before the car heater warms up. The Portofino doesn’t offer a heated steering wheel.

The DB11’s standard separate stalk mounted cruise control on/off switch is conveniently located with the rest of the cruise controls. The Portofino’s standard cruise control must be turned on with a hard to find switch on the dashboard.

The DB11’s Auto Parking can parallel park or back into a parking spot by itself, with the driver only controlling speed with the brake pedal. The Portofino doesn’t offer an automated parking system.

The Aston Martin DB11 comes in coupe and convertible bodystyles; the Ferrari Portofino isn’t available as a coupe.
