2019 FERRARI PORTOFINO | ZFF89FPA5K0239137
Specifications
1
~$250,000
Engine: 3.9L twin-turbocharged V8
Torque: 760 Nm
0–100 km/h: ~3.45 s
The Ferrari Portofino M marked a maturation of Ferrari’s front-engine GT convertible concept — blending daily usability, luxury, and true supercar performance. With 620 horsepower from its 3.9L twin-turbo V8, it sprinted from 0–100 km/h in 3.45 seconds, while delivering smooth power delivery and V8 character across the rev range.
The upgrade from Portofino to M introduced key mechanical improvements: an 8-speed dual-clutch gearbox (from the SF90 Stradale), Race mode in the Manettino for the first time on a GT convertible, and revised intake geometry. These changes significantly enhanced throttle response, shift speed, and cornering agility.
Stylistically, the Portofino M remained elegant and restrained — with subtle front fascia updates, new rear diffuser, and hidden aero enhancements that increased cooling and downforce. The retractable hardtop operated at up to 40 km/h, seamlessly transforming the car from coupe to spider.
While more relaxed than an F8 or 296, the Portofino M retained Ferrari’s DNA: Side Slip Control 6.0, adaptive dampers, and carbon-ceramic brakes kept it sharp and engaging on any road.
The Ferrari Portofino M earns its place in the performance registry as the most balanced, livable, and refined front-V8 Ferrari convertible, closing the chapter on the California lineage while setting the stage for models like the Roma Spider.
Body Styles
A 2-door grand touring convertible with a power-folding metal hardtop, offering coupé aesthetics when closed and true open-air driving when retracted. The roof folds in 14 seconds, even while moving at low speeds. Both versions feature a front-mounted V8, 2+2 seating configuration (ideal for short trips or luggage in the back), and a long, flowing GT silhouette. The "M" received more aggressive bumpers, new rear diffuser, and a redesigned Manettino with Race mode.
Model Name Meaning (Manufacturer)
“Portofino” is named after the picturesque seaside village in the Ligurian Riviera, reflecting the car’s elegant and luxurious grand touring spirit. The addition of “M” in the facelifted version stands for Modificata, a traditional Ferrari suffix for updated or evolved variants. The Portofino was the successor to the California T and redefined Ferrari’s approach to daily-drivable performance convertibles, combining comfort, power, and top-down glamour.
Model Name Meaning (Languages)
The name “Portofino” resonates globally as a symbol of coastal luxury and Italian lifestyle, evoking imagery of yachts, cliffside villas, and sun-drenched roads. The “M” suffix, while subtle, signals a meaningful performance upgrade in Ferrari’s naming tradition — a familiar concept in Italian, German, and English-speaking markets alike. Together, they form a badge associated with versatile Ferrari ownership rather than hardcore racetrack focus.
Body & Interior Colors and Rims
The Portofino was available in a wide array of elegant and expressive shades, from traditional Rosso Corsa and Giallo Modena, to more refined metallics like Blu Tour de France, Grigio Titanio, Argento Nürburgring, and Nero Daytona. The “M” introduced new color options including Rosso Portofino, Blu Roma, and Grigio Ingrid. Ferrari’s Tailor Made program offered triple-layer paints like Bianco Italia, Rosso Fuoco, and custom heritage finishes including historical liveries or satin clear coats.
Interior trim levels featured fine leather upholstery with optional Alcantara inserts, carbon fiber accents, and extensive color stitching options. Standard themes included Beige Tradizione, Nero, Cuoio, and Bordeaux. The dashboard and center tunnel could be trimmed in leather, aluminum, or exposed carbon. A 10.2" touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay was standard, integrated into a floating center display, while a passenger-side screen showed real-time speed and revs.
Wheels ranged from 20-inch forged five-spoke alloys in silver, diamond-cut, or painted finishes, to optional lightweight wheels with twisted multi-spoke designs. Portofino M models offered special grigio corsa and satin graphite wheels, and carbon ceramic brakes were standard across both variants. Brake calipers were offered in red, yellow, black, aluminum, and other custom shades via Atelier.

vs Competitors
The Ferrari Portofino competed directly with the Aston Martin DB11 Volante, Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet, and Bentley Continental GT Convertible. Against the Aston, the Ferrari was sharper to drive, lighter, and more focused, though the DB11 offered more luxury feel. Compared to the Bentley, the Portofino was less opulent but vastly more agile. Against the 911, the Ferrari won on exclusivity, sound, and emotional appeal – though the Porsche offered more tech and all-wheel drive. The Portofino M notably narrowed the dynamic gap with mid-engine Ferraris, offering Race mode, better suspension tuning, and 20 extra horsepower, transforming the soft GT into a genuinely lively roadster.
Fun Fact
The Portofino is the first Ferrari to feature an all-aluminum retractable hardtop combined with a front-engine layout, allowing it to transition from a refined grand tourer to a sculptural roadster in seconds. It’s also the first Ferrari V8 GT to offer ventilated seats and Apple CarPlay as standard – a testament to its role as the “daily Ferrari” for long coastal drives, weekend getaways, or commutes with flair.
