The Ferrari Portofino M, the evolution of the Prancing Horse’s 2+ GT spider, the Ferrari Portofino, was unveiled today. In a move unprecedented in the Maranello marque’s 70-year-plus history, the new car’s premiere took place entirely online. The build-up to the unveiling included the sending out of a series of newsletters to clients over recent weeks at the end of which they were given access to a platform containing exclusive videos illustrating the concept behind the car, its restyling and main technical contents.The Portofino M is the first Ferrari to be presented in the wake of the company’s temporary closure due to the Covid-19 crisis, making it the symbol of a voyage of rediscovery. It is the (re)starting point for Prancing Horse’s pursuit of innovation whilst fully respecting its heritage, passion and constant search for perfection. All of these values are reflected in the new Portofino M. In fact, the ‘M’ in its moniker stands for ‘Modificata’, which in Ferrari nomenclature refers to cars that have undergone an evolution that has significantly boosted their performance.There is no shortage of technical innovation in the stunning new evolution of the Ferrari Portofino, the most notable being its redesigned powertrain, a brand-new eight-speed gearbox and the five-position Manettino that includes a Race mode, an absolute first for a Maranello GT spider. As a consequence of these and many other new features, the Portofino M guarantees an unprecedented combination of authentic GT performance, driving pleasure, agility and exceptional versatility in everyday driving contexts.
The European Roadshow of the Ferrari Portofino, an exclusive première that allowed the company’s most faithful fans and collectors to preview the dynamic qualities of the new car in preview, ended in Belfast. The event visited more than 16 countries and travelled along some of Europe’s most beautiful roads, testing the great versatility and 600 hp of the 8-cylinder engine of the new GT convertible , which places it at the top of its category. More than 20 examples were used for a trip of over sixty stages, which followed three routes concluding respectively in Warsaw on 24 June, in Stockholm on 14 July and in Belfast on 1 August. The tour crossed the most diverse landscapes, from the Tuscan hills to the Alpine slopes, from the Côte d’Azur to the Iberian coast, from the German forests to the Bay of Stockholm, all united by driving pleasure and the beauty of the design of the Ferrari Portofino.
