Ferrari Portofino M:
The showroom featured a special display and the Omani unveiling of Maranello’s latest marvel, the Ferrari Portofino M; the latest evolution of the Prancing Horse GT 2+ Spider. In a move unprecedented in the Maranello marque’s 70-year-plus history, the new car’s premiere took place entirely online. And in a few short months, the marque held pride of place in the Muscat showroom bringing Italian supercar excellence to Oman.
In keeping with its new presentation format, the Ferrari Portofino M 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 with the ‘M’ in its moniker standing for ‘Modificata’, which in Ferrari nomenclature refers to cars that have undergone an evolution that has boosted their performance.
There is no shortage of technical innovation in this stunning new evolution of the Ferrari Portofino, the most notable being its redesigned powertrain, a brand-new eight-speed gearbox and a five-position Manettino that includes a Race mode, an absolute first for a Maranello GT spider. As a result, the Portofino M guarantees a completely unprecedented combination of authentic GT performance, driving pleasure, agility, and exceptional versatility in everyday driving contexts.
