Ferrari Portofino M Review: Riviera Style, a 620 CV V8 and Two Ways to Tour

A beautiful coupé for the journey. An open-top Ferrari when the moment calls. The Portofino M brings those two experiences together with a retractable hard top, a front-mounted V8 and a cabin built around the idea of grand touring.

Its appeal is easy to picture: an unhurried departure, a scenic route and a destination worth taking the longer road to reach. This review explores the model’s design, performance and touring applications, then records a separate 2021 seller offer in Poland.

What Makes the Ferrari Portofino M Special?

The M stands for Modificata, identifying the evolution of Ferrari’s Portofino. Ferrari highlights three important developments: a 620 CV powertrain, an eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox and a five-position Manettino that includes Race mode.

The model retains a 2+ seating layout and retractable hard top. Its long bonnet and flowing profile give it the character of a front-engined Ferrari GT, while the folding roof opens up another way to enjoy the same car.

Styling deserves a careful look in person. View the car with its roof raised and lowered, and consider the paint, wheels and cabin as one combination. The photographs of the offered example show a red exterior, tan-coloured seats, silver-coloured wheels and yellow brake calipers. Ask for the official factory colour and option codes to identify the exact configuration.

A 620 CV V8 with an Eight-Speed Dual-Clutch Gearbox

Ferrari specifies a 3,855 cc turbocharged V8 producing 620 CV / 456 kW and 760 Nm. Its technical sheet gives a manufacturer 0–100 km/h figure of 3.45 seconds.

CV is metric horsepower, equivalent to approximately 612 mechanical horsepower at this rating. Figures describe the model, rather than the results of our own testing.

The specification is a starting point for a useful viewing. Ask the seller to provide the VIN-based build record and service history, then arrange a demonstration of the transmission and fitted controls. A thorough handover should connect those features to the correct owner’s manual.

Two Ways to Enjoy the Grand-Touring Experience

Roof up for the route, roof down for the scenery

Ferrari’s Portofino M touring feature describes a 14-second roof-opening sequence. For a prospective owner, seeing the full cycle while stationary is a useful part of the viewing. Ask the seller to explain the operating conditions and demonstrate how the luggage area must be arranged.

Think about the journeys you actually want to make. For a weekend away, bring the bags you expect to carry and check them with the roof in both positions. For frequent use, try the parking and access arrangements that matter to you: your garage, driveway and regular destinations.

That is where the Portofino M’s dual identity becomes relevant. You can choose the roof position to suit the trip, then plan luggage and passenger use around that choice.

A cabin to assess with your passenger

The 2+ layout makes passenger planning part of the decision. Try the front seats in your preferred positions and assess the rear area with anyone you intend to carry. Confirm approved seating and any child-seat installation requirements from the vehicle documents and manual.

Ferrari offered touring equipment such as ventilated seats, a neck warmer and an optional passenger display within the model range. Ask which features are fitted to the individual car. Demonstrate seat adjustments, climate settings, phone connection, audio and any passenger screen before agreeing the inventory.

Take your time with the controls. A cabin that suits you is about how easily you can settle in, find your settings and prepare for a journey together.

Build the ownership plan around the car

Before contacting a seller, write down three things: the journeys you want to take, the equipment you value and the documents you need to review. For this model, roof operation, cabin specification and service records make a focused starting point.

If you plan to transport the car rather than collect it, ask for loading instructions and dimensions for the vehicle as supplied. Establish the handover location, insurance arrangements and who will receive the keys and documents.

Clarify the Advertised Warranty

Ask who provides the cover, which components and territories it includes, its start and expiry dates, claim process and transferability. Obtain the applicable certificate and written terms before treating coverage as part of the purchase.

Product Location: Żygląd, Poland

The advertisement explicitly identifies Żygląd, Poland, as the product location. Confirm the actual viewing and collection point when arranging an appointment.

Delivery Areas and Shipping Terms

No Portofino-specific delivery destinations, shipping costs or delivery timeframe were stated in the advertisement and supplier information reviewed. The supplier’s profile mentions domestic goods transport as part of its general business; this does not establish delivery arrangements for this car.

Ask the supplier whether it can arrange collection, enclosed vehicle transport or overseas shipment to your destination. Request a written quotation covering the handover point, transport method, insurance, loading, timing, payment stages and documents included.

For a cross-border purchase, establish who handles export preparation, destination requirements and any charges payable separately. Have an appropriate specialist confirm import and registration eligibility for your intended country before committing.
