Portofino M

Ferrari: A Constantly Evolving Story

The legendary “M” suffix on the new Ferrari Portofino M, stands for “Modificata.” It sounds enough like “modification” that you may think the Portofino M is just a simple update, but it’s much closer to evolution than it is to revision. The Portofino M represents many firsts, including a first for a Ferrari GT convertible: an 8-speed dual-clutch gearbox and five-position Manettino.

Chicago Ferrari aficionados will love discovering — or rediscovering — the Portofino behind the wheel of the new Prancing Horse. Hear that trademark roar while the wind rushes through your hair in the new 2+ spider version of the Portofino.

Portofino M: New Gearbox, Improved Specs

Every thrill of the Portofino M can be traced to the V8 turbo family that’s taken home International Engine of the Year for four consecutive years. With 620 cv (612 hp) and a 0-100 KM/H time of 3.45 sec, the re-imagined Portofino helps push Ferrari specs forward.

Paired to the award-winning engine is an 8-speed dual-clutch gearbox that replaces the Portofino’s 7-speed. The new design brings 35% higher torque delivery and en evolved transmission software strategy. You can thank the new transmission for the boosted Portofino M specs, and it brings a reduction in fuel consumption with it, too.

The Portofino M Brings a Unique Sound

The engine note of a Ferrari is iconic and unique in the auto world. To ensure that the sound of the Portofino M is unique, the entire exhaust line was redesigned. Rear silencers have been eliminated and the overall geometry of the exhaust system has been changed to deliver a more exhilarating soundtrack.
