Any news, release or update of Classic Ferrari for sale always raises expectations. In fact, even we are excited to write these lines. Today we have the pleasure of presenting you the new Ferrari Portofino, the evolution of the convertible Gran Turismo from Maranello, which had already been on the market for three years.
Although the aesthetic changes of this evolution are not very appreciable, basically the bumpers and some other details are timidly modified, the Ferrari Portofino M improves a lot. There are important evolutions in his technique, as well as greater benefits of his V8 biturbo engine. By the way, we remember that the addition "M" in the names of Ferrari means "XNUMX Modificata".
The most evocative component of any Ferrari is the engine. The Portofino M receives a series of improvements in its 8-liter V3.9 biturbo that raises its power to 620 CV. The brand has commented, among other improvements, new profiles of the camshafts, as well as a new internal speed sensor that measures the rotation of the turbine. Engine torque remains at 760 Nm.
Furthermore, the gearbox is completely new. It's an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission., while the previous one had seven relations. Ferrari says that it reduces its dimensions by 20%, while it is capable of transmitting 35% more torque. The software has been "polished" and with eighth gear more contained consumption is achieved, especially on highways.
As a whole, the Ferrari Portofino M is capable of performing the 0 to 100 km / h in 3,45 seconds (slightly faster than before) and 0 to 200 in 9,8. If we continue with the right pedal for several more seconds we will reach the 320 km/h, his top speed.
We agree that the Ferrari Portofino M is not the company's model of the prancing horse more geared towards extreme driving. Despite this, they have introduced a manettino with five positions. The driving modes are Wet, Comfort, Sport, Race and ESP-Off. With them we have a car that is very suitable for all kinds of circumstances.
