FERRARI PORTOFINO M

The Portofino M is effectively the mid-cycle upgrade of the Portofino. ‘M’ stands for ‘modificata’ and translates to ‘altered’, which is precisely what this model is – a quicker, more powerful Portofino.

Ferrari Portofino M gains a few styling enhancements, more power from the V8, and a new Race Mode, the first ever to be offered on a Ferrari GT Spider model. The big news is that V8; the cam profiles and the turbocharger assembly’s speed sensor have been revised to deliver 612 HPp, a 20-hp increase over the Portofino. Outside, you’ll notice new air vents, aluminium slats for the grille, new wheels, and an upgraded exhaust system. And its convertible.

Comfort and space are dramatically different in the front and the back, and this is technically a four-seat Ferrari. The driver and front-seat passenger have enough headroom and legroom, and ingress and egress are effortless. Those power-adjustable front seats are also super comfortable, and they hold you in place when caning the car.

The drop-top comes with dual-zone automatic climate control, remote keyless entry, push-button ignition, 18-way power front seats, a power tilt/telescoping steering column, power-folding side mirrors, dual digital screens on either side of the tachometer, and the power-retractable roof.
