Ferrari Bortofino M 2021

Ferrari Bortofino M 2021

Ferrari’s elegant Portofino M convertible sits at the bottom of Ferrari’s model hierarchy , and like the model it replaced for 2018, its engine is at the front of the car. But don’t let any of these things cloud your judgment. The Ferrari Portofino M is everything a Ferrari should be: sexy, powerful and fast. The twin-turbo V-8 makes 612 horsepower — up from 591 in last year’s model —

And it should hit 60 mph in the low three-second range. The small rear seat and trunk wouldn’t fit much, but practicality was never a selling point for Ferrari. Within 15 seconds, you can stock up on the retractable hardtop and listen to the rumbling exhaust sound fighting the wind to get your attention. If outdoor driving isn’t your thing, Ferrari offers a Portofino-based coupe in the sub-$250,000 range that might be more to your liking. my Ferrari

Ferrari will release an updated Portofino later this year. Dubbed the Portofino M, this engine is more powerful than last year’s non-M model,

Which Ferrari won’t sell anymore. On top of that, a manettino drive mode switch on the steering wheel gains a race setting for track driving, and an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission takes over the shifting duties from last year’s seven-speed unit. In addition , the newly available seats with ventilation technology and neck heating will definitely improve the rooftop experience for buyers.

In a world where some high-end brands – Cough, Porsche – offer amazingly long lists of add-ons, Ferrari makes life easy by limiting your choices. It even discontinued the 591-horsepower 2020 version, keeping the Portofino lineup for one model, the M. We limited our lineup with optional new front seats that come with ventilation and heating,

And we’ll be adding advanced driver technology, too, which includes adaptive cruise control, automatic high beams, and more. Ferrari offers aluminum footrests and a passenger display, but we don’t see much need for them. Besides these few options, what remains is the choice of body color, interior, brake calipers, gauges, exhaust pipes as well as wheel design.

Ferrari engine , transmission and performance

Under the extended hood of the Portofino M is a 3.9-liter twin-turbo V8 that produces 612 horsepower – a 21 horsepower increase over the 2020 car. As before, the engine sends 561 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels,

But he steers it via an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission instead of last year’s seven. The top speed of 199 mph and 60 mph that we estimate is in the low three-second range isn’t actually the most impressive;

It’s the unmistakable howl that blasts off the exhaust tips as the Portofino’s tach needle charges toward the engine’s 7,500-rpm redline. We drove the 591hp Portofino in Italy, where the convertible offered a comfortable ride and great body control thanks to the adaptive dampers. While its electrically assisted steering provided satisfactory feedback, the setup is not quite as attractive as that of Porsche sports cars. Every 2021 Portofino also features carbon-ceramic brakes that ensure this massive touring car stops three times. However, we had to get used to the initial smoothness of the brake pedal. Ferrari has limited pedal movement on the M in an effort to help improve its awkward feel. We’ll let you know if it works as soon as we have a chance to drive it.

fuel economy

The Ferrari will manage 16 mpg in the city and 22 mpg on the highway, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. Those numbers are lower than those of the V8-powered Aston Martin DB11, which achieves 18 mpg city and 24 mpg highway. The big Bentley Continental GT sees the same city average as the Portofino M

But it beats it on the highway, with 26 mpg. If we get the opportunity to test the real-world fuel economy of this car, we’ll update this page with the results.

Ferrari interior, comfort and cargo

Ferrari covers the interior of the Portofino M in premium leather, and the 18-way power-adjustable front seats – newly available with ventilation and neck heating technology – provide adequate comfort and support. Plus, the practical windscreen helps keep the cabin cool quickly when you have a hard roof. With a pair of small seats behind the front passengers,

The Ferrari convertible can technically transport up to four people, but we wouldn’t recommend anyone to spend time there. We’ll be using these seats to carry our things, as the Portofino’s trunk won’t hold much and storage inside the cabin is minimal. The handy drawer in the front of the center console will hold small things, there is also a place to store drinks nearby, but that’s about it.

Information, entertainment and contact Ferrari

Ferrari’s infotainment system is like a spare tire in a Buick: good to have when you need it,

But it’s not something anyone would ask about. However, the Portofino’s technical setup looks modern enough, with a 10.3-inch touchscreen display mounted in the center of the dashboard. We found that the unit responds during our limited exposure to it. Ferrari also offers an optional 7.0-inch touchscreen display that faces the front seat passenger and allows him or her to display performance data and operate the car’s navigation system.

Safety and driver assistance features

Neither the National Institute for Highway Traffic Safety (NHTSA) nor the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has conducted crash testing on the 2021 Portofino M, and we don’t expect either agency to do so. The exciting Italian convertible offers driver assistance technology, but none are offered as standard. Key safety features include:

 Automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection

 Blind spot monitoring available

 Available adaptive cruise control

Warranty and maintenance coverage

Ferrari’s warranty coverage is consistent with that of other high-end automakers such as Lamborghini. It also offers an extended 15-year coverage for an additional coin. Ferrari boasts the best free maintenance program too, with seven years of coverage regardless of mileage.

 The limited warranty covers three years or 36000 miles

 The powertrain warranty covers three years or 36000 miles

 Free maintenance is covered for seven years and unlimited miles
