The Ferrari California was, by the marque's usual standards, a bit of a disappointment when it arrived back in 2008. It lacked the hard-edged feel befitting of a Maranello car, but Ferrari took note and responded with heavily updated versions. First there was the turbocharged California T, then the redesigned Portofino, and now this: the Portofino M. The new car brings an extensive list of upgrades to the Portofino package, such as a new 8-speed gearbox, revised chassis systems and more power. But does the M take the Portofino to new heights? Alex Ingram is at the wheel to find out.

Bentley continental is a rival for Porto Fino? Really? I always though that Bentley continental's rival is Queen Mary 2

Better video than I thought it would be

I drive this road too and was parked in the carpark as you filmed. I thought Sparsholt Firs was in Oxfordshire?

[@petercavellini3232]

I don’t know why they bother putting vestigial Seats in the backs of Cars like these, can’t they at least make it an extra luggage space?

[@nevarran]

Now the only problem with it - I don't have 200K to spend on a car :)

Buy GME. Will easily be able to afford one after the MOASS

[@MarcSob22]

I love this car!!

[@pereldh5741]

My Alfa 75 had heated seats in 1990

front end looks like a peugeot

[@dkpirie]

I would take the Bentley as I prefer comfort & luxury over acceleration. I also would find the drone of the Ferrari engine annoying after a short time.

[@jjhaydos9877]

its very quiet at 70mph cruising at 1800rpm... surprising really...

[@Clemoly]

can they put the Roma front and rear ends on the Portofino? Now that would be something to drool over...

[@josephjewellers]

3000 for jBL?……..that’s so expensive…… Ferrari needs a much better stereo brand…..

[@faustinaadu2284]

The performance of the at car isn’t far off from the Ferrari Enzo

[@MarcSob22]

On paper yes, but an Enzo with modern tires is much faster than at the time of release! Not to mention that an Enzo has the real top speed above 370km/h, and that car's actual performance is noticeable from 280km/h or more, which is where you notice the difference between a supercar and a hypercar

[@g00dfeeling]

His 👀 are in the level of 🎡

[@FlyingTigersKMT]

Looks just like the 2006 Mazda 3 in front... and a cuttlefish in back

[@aless569]

Do you need glasses ?

[@petercavellini3232]

Prefer the aroma thanks.

[@Jersey-dc2uo]
