Ferrari Portofino (2018-2023)
In a few months, sport cars fans will mourn the loss of one of Ferrari‘s most iconic models, the Portofino.
The Italian manufacturer confirmed they will production of their hardtop convertible.
The vehicle, first launched in 2018, has now been pensioned off and a new Portofino M has taken over.
The car is now set to be part of car’s history as the company plans to transition to electric and hybrid vehicles.
Ferrari has recently revealed the new Roma Spider with a 457kW twin-turbo V8 engine.

Nissan Maxima (1980-2023)
The veteran Nissan Maxima is also set to disappear after more than 43 years.
The company confirmed it will ditch the sedan in mid-2023, after a sales plummeted over recent years.
The Maxima used to be popular among motorists for years but it became less attractive as it aged.
Manufacturers have also joined the EV transition and abandoned less popular petrol-engines to move to electric ones.
Nissan said to be “prioritizing electric vehicles” and advises drivers to “stay tuned for future Nissan Maxima news.”
Car experts said the company is making way to a fully-electric model or a battery-powered Maxima in the next few years.

Lamborghini Huracan (2014-2023)
The famous Lambo Huracan has come to an end and drivers can’t no longer order models of the V10 vehicle.
After nine years since it originally debuted, the sports car is set to disappear from showrooms by 2024.
Manufacturers have now launched an all-new replacement model to hit roads by next year.
Lamborghini’s bosses said that every car in their range will be hybridised by the end of 2024 – and the Huracan’s replacement is no exception.
Although manufacturers haven’t confirmed the name yet, the new hybrid supercar will boast a plug-in powertrain and a downsized combustion engine.
The Lamborghini Revuelto was first super sports V12 hybrid to be announced earlier this year.
Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann said: “The new Revuelto is a milestone in the history of Lamborghini.
“It is a unique and innovative car but at the same time faithful to our DNA: the V12 is an iconic symbol of our super sports heritage and history.
“Revuelto was born to break the mould, combining a new 12-cylinder engine with hybrid technology, creating the perfect balance between delivering the emotion that our clients want with the necessity to reduce emissions.”
