“Its performance befits a car with a Prancing Horse badge, and more than anything it just feels special – which is just what you want from an Italian drop-top supercar.”

“Thanks to the latest round of updates, Ferrari’s newest open-top option delivers a wider spread of ability than ever before. The Portofino M feels even more exciting when driving keenly, and more relaxing when you’re not. Viewed as a GT car, it might be a little cramped compared with some rivals, but from an enthusiast’s point of view it’s a hugely impressive machine.”

“The Portofino is a pretty convincing gateway to the brand. It exhibits many of the traits would-be Ferrari owners surely long for, and there’s no denying that even as the ‘baby’ Ferrari, it’s a proper performance car.”

“Ten years on from the California, the Ferrari Portofino makes a compelling argument for itself as a ‘usable’ exotic.”

“Marketing videos will show the Ferrari Portofino M cruising on sunlit Italian lakesides; but unlike, say, the Mercedes-Benz SL, it feels rather at home when being threaded at speed along good driving roads. Its engine is lively, its gearbox more so and its brakes, with their revised feel, are really responsive.”

“Faster, more agile and perhaps more authentically ‘Ferrari’, but like its predecessor, the Portofino lacks the dynamic sophistication of a great GT car.”

“The Ferrari Portofino M represents a solid, if subtle step over the previous car in all the right areas. Rather than sacrificing comfort for dynamics, Ferrari has focused on refinement and left its two-seaters’ grand tourer credentials intact. The eight-speed box is a particular highlight and makes the Portofino far more at home in traffic, too.”

“The Ferrari Portofino represents a solid improvement over its predecessor, the California T, particularly when it comes to the driving experience. It still lacks ultimate focus when it comes to driving at ten tenths, but for the target audience we suspect the Portofino strikes a pretty sweet balance.”

“The Ferrari Portofino is a convertible GT that combines supercar-esque performance with impressive usability.”

“The Portofino has a split personality: in one moment it’s an easy-going grand tourer with impeccable manners, but the mere flick of a switch turns it into a full-blooded performance machine that’s powerful enough to rearrange your internal organs.”

“I’ve never been to the picturesque fishing village of Portofino in Italy from where it takes its name. After a weekend away in this motor, I almost feel I’ve now been there. Because the Ferrari Portofino is the perfect car for getting away from it all.”

“So, if you’re after a Ferrari that ticks every box, all roads lead to… Portofino? It is a town on the Italian coast, after all. For me, the Roma’s best-looking-car-on-sale beauty, more modern interior and 100kg weight saving still tip the balance in its favour. That said, the luxurious and exciting Ferrari Portofino M offers a lot to like. Including, for fans of fresh air, that extra ticked box.”

“This might not be a brilliant grand tourer, but it is a very good grand-touring Ferrari. In a way, in fact, it’s the most admirable Ferrari of all. If you’ve always dreamed of a brand-new Ferrari and if you can finally afford to buy one, but only one, then you’ll love the Portofino M.”

“The Ferrari Portofino M is a better car than the standard Portofino in pretty much all of the key aspects. It’s better to drive, more efficient, contains more tech and yet retains the gentler abilities that appeal to people who want their Ferrari to be a daily driver, rather than a weekend warrior.”
