Product Overview

Ferrari Portofino M (Type F164M) is a mid-size convertible luxury car in production from 2020. It is powered by a bi-turbo V8 engine that displaced 3.9 liters.
Compared to the original Portofino, the M has increased power output and is upgraded with the new 8-speed DCT transmission. Cosmetically, the car remains one of the best on the market.
Utility-minded owners will have to keep in mind that the 292L (10cu-ft) cargo space may not be sufficient.

Reviewers from autocar have found the following***:
The Portofino M has a front-mounted V8 but not a fixed roof like the Roma. Ferrari says the car is more sporting: there’s more power, more dynamism to its outward appearance. The steering is very quick and, compared with that in comfier posh convertibles, hyper-responsive.

Pros
  • Punchy, responsive engine
  • Lots of fun to drive
Cons
  • Nothing in particular

autoexpress[2]

Reviewers from autoexpress have found the following***:
Ferrari Portofino M has a new eight-speed gearbox that has an extra ratio. The new highest gear is set longer for better cruising, while the first seven are all shorter than before to boost acceleration. Power delivery is very different to a Bentley V8 or V12 - where the Continental delivers a huge thump of torque from low down, the Ferrari's V8 offers a real incentive to rev the car out in a very un-turbo like fashion. Top speed is quoted as ‘greater than 199mph’

Pros
  • Powerful V8

Cons
  • Not as sharp to drive as rivals

Reviewers from carmagazine have found the following***:
The Portofino M is the latest version of Ferrari's 'entry-level' two-door Spider. The M stands for Modificata, and that means Maranello has squeezed more out of its sporty GT. Power is up, the chassis promises to have more poise – and there's an all-new gearbox too among other changes.

Pros
  • New eight-speed box
  • More poise and poise
Cons
  • Infotainment feels a generation old
