Ferrari Portofino Seat Belt Extender
Buckle Up Comfortably in Your Ferrari Portofino
Every Portofino is a four-seater with a folding metal roof, so there are four belt positions and a boot that shares its space with the roof. Two things decide your order: which row you are fitting, and whether your car is a Portofino or the later Portofino M.
The Problem
The V8 sits behind the front axle and drives a rear transaxle, so a tunnel runs down the center of the cabin. Up front the buckle drops into the slot between that tunnel and an eighteen-way adjustable sports seat, and you end up reaching somewhere you cannot see. In the rear the seats are usable for shorter journeys but still compact, so a passenger settles low with the latch behind the hip. A jacket closes off what room is left in either row.
The Solution
A certified extender lifts the connection point up clear of the tunnel to where the hand already sits. One click into the car's own receptacle, one click with the factory belt tongue. Nothing is cut, drilled, or permanently attached, and it lifts straight back out.

Every Portofino has rear seats, unlike the California before it
Worth stating clearly, because owners moving up from a California often expect the same choice. Ferrari offered that car either as a 2+2 or as a 2+ with the rear seats deleted for a luggage bench. The Portofino was built as a 2+2 throughout, so every example has four seats and four belt positions.
Ferrari went further and redesigned the front seat backrests specifically to free up rear space, gaining around five centimeters of legroom over the California T. The rear seats remain best suited to shorter journeys, but they are genuinely there, and they are two individual seats rather than a bench, so there is no center rear position.
Portofino or Portofino M?
The original Portofino arrived in 2017 with 600 cv and a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox. Ferrari announced the Portofino M, for Modificata, in September 2020, and it reached customers during 2021 with 620 cv, an eight-speed gearbox and a five-position manettino adding Race mode.
The two share a body and a basic layout, but a mid-cycle revision of that scale is where interior components get quietly updated. Select your exact year rather than rounding, and if you are on the boundary, send a photo of your latch plate and the slot it enters.
Front or Rear? The Answer Differs
Both rows sit alongside the tunnel, but what actually blocks the hand is not the same, which is why one extender rarely serves the whole car.
| Row | What is in the way | Usually order |
|---|---|---|
| Front | The transaxle tunnel on one side and a sports seat bolster on the other, with the stalk dropping into the slot between them. | Rigid, 3 or 5 inch |
| Rear | Compact seats and an awkward entry leave the passenger settled with the latch behind the hip rather than beside it. | Rigid for access, regular if only the length falls short |
The three styles explained
Three styles across our full extender range. In a front-mid-engine car with a tunnel the answer is usually height rather than length.
| Style | Best for |
|---|---|
| Rigid | A solid section in 3, 5 or 7 inch that stands upright and holds the buckle where you can see it. Usually the right answer up front, and often in the rear too where access is the difficulty. |
| Regular | Woven webbing in 7 inch or 10 inch matching your factory belt. The choice when you can find the latch by feel and only the length falls short. |
| Adjustable | Woven webbing with a sliding adjuster covering 9 to 26 inches. Worth considering in the rear, where passengers change from journey to journey. |

How it works
Nothing is cut, drilled, or modified. The whole thing takes about five seconds and lifts straight back out whenever you want it gone.
Click the extender's tongue into your seat belt receptacle.
Buckle your seat belt into the extender. Takes about five seconds, no tools needed.
To remove it, press the release button just like a normal belt.
Pick the shortest length that works
We recommend adding only the minimum length you need to buckle comfortably. More webbing is not safer, it just adds slack.
1.Pick the seat by side
Front left, front right, rear left or rear right. All four are individual seats, so each is ordered separately.
2.Set the front seat first
With eighteen-way adjustment up front, judge the rear reach with the seat where it actually sits on a journey.
3.Need help?
Send your year, seat position and a photo of the buckle, and our team will confirm the fit.
