Ferrari Portofino M For More
Overdrive|November 2021
You can be assured that when Ferrari upgrades one of their existing model lines (upgrades are a rarity within Ferrari) you can expect something pretty special. Ferrari does not do half measures, so simple nip and tucks aren’t par for the course. What you do get is an immense number of changes, most of which you just can’t see, because they lie somewhere deep under the skin. So when I received an invitation to drive the Portofino M in Dubai, you can bet your last rupee I wasn’t refusing the invitation, pandemic be damned.
