The new Ferrari Portofino M is the cheapest new Ferrari on sale today yet it packs 620bhp, a near 200mph top speed and comes with a folding hardtop as standard. What I'm keen to find out is would I buy this on the Ferrari Roma?

Have you been in a quick car? 0-60 is irrelevant esp in something like this, it’s the energy and responsiveness that’s going to be additive, this and the fact you can turn it all down and go to Tesco’s without a problem, really clever.

Exactly who cares unless you encounter say a 720S or superbike say an S1000rr while you are out in this. Let's be honest this Ferrari will leave any average car for dead if it launches in full attack mode. So the whole dick measuring over who can launch fastest is just becoming irrelevant and boring. That and if you let the average Joe try launch one of the modern turbo Ferrari's unless the road is bone dry and the tyres are up to heat it'll break traction easily and make that driver shit their pants. Hell even in perfect conditions when all the torque comes in it'll still break traction. That and you just know some pleb Tesla fanboy will come along saying "mwuuuh the Tesla Model S Plaid arse licker edition can launch in 1.9 seconds" or something along those lines.

I wanted to see the back seats go down to know if you could get a snowboard in it and what it might be like for long trips across Europe. Can always rely on Harry to do a thorough real world review. Much appreciated Harry thank you.

Great review, or to put it another way, that's exactly what I thought on all fronts! The Roma does retain the physical manettino but it's lost the old start button, a great shame! At least with the PF-M they've addressed the manettino envy with the old Cali and original PF to give it the full selection of modes. Select Race and soft dampers, perfect. If you think 620 bhp is too much for the PF, how will the 'entry-level' mid-engined car, the 296, feel with 800?

I can see restorers offering to back date to get rid of teenager tech / aluminium folding roofs / footballer carbon. However, the real question (not just on Ferraris) may be whether the current style of headlamps will allow the cars to mature. As an example, I have a high opinion of the original Boxster, but wouldn't it be great to have an after market front wing/light conversion to say 992.1...

He needs that bit of road at that junction named “ Harry’s le tour” with a sign. 😁 See I love my cars but don’t really want them to bite my head off, I want them to look after me. I want to be able to push on but not in a it will bin me in a hedge. I’m too old for driving on the edge something I never really did anyway. That to me is perfect it’s daily usable, it’s spirited enough to enjoy and comfortable to drive. To dream of an European road trip through some of the passes just enjoying the scenery.

For my comfort it is too busy inside with all the touchscreens and surfaces, but its such a good looking and well proportioned car, and it will have its buyers. I am pretty sure Ferrari will make good money on that car. Demand is skyrocketing towards these cars.

First of all, loved that color, is it the same as the one seen in the Goodwood festival? And I'm with you on choosing this over the Roma. Looks more traditional (even though it's not entirely traditional compared to the models of yore), looks better...front, rear, everything.

Ditto I live in a suburb called Leichhardt (little Italy) in Sydney, AUSTRALIA. In the past month I've seen everything from a 512TR to a beautiful deep crimson 458, a Roma and a beautiful 812 GTS spider. I haven't seen a Portafino since Christmas 2020. POSTSCRIPT- there were horns blaring and people cheering at 9 am (9 pm Sunday in the UK) this past Monday. Does anyone know why there was so much noise coming from Little Italy, Sydney so early on a Monday morning ??? Something about a football game . . .

I was hoping you made a review of the Portofino. To my eyes this car is even more beautiful than the Roma. I think the Roma is just more modern looking and that's why people like it more. The Portofino might even look a tiny bit "boring", but I think that's the beauty in it. It's not some overstyled shape.

Hi Harry, a couple of months ago I was lucky to do back to back drives with the Roma and Portofino M at Dick Lovetts in Swindon. the Roma first. I did enjoy it, amazing car though the touch controls were baffling.I almost didn't want to try the Portofino M. On initially sitting in the cockpit it seemed so old fashioned , but I quickly realised I actually understood where all the controls were and I realised I actually liked that. When we got to driving. I immediately felt at home in the M. It just felt much more planted on the road and I knew what it was going to do while with the Roma I was never quite sure. I run a Dino 308GT4 - an age away from these cars, but the M really felt like a very modern version of my GT4, a big go kart. The Roma felt like a tourer. My Ferrari instructor agreed with me and said his choice would be the M. He also made me promise to never sell my GT4!!

Unusually, I am not in agreement with Harry. I prefer the styling of this to the Roma and I do not like fabric roofs at all.
@CreMoi
@CreMoi 2 жыл бұрын
Agree, a fabric roof on a 200k+ car feels cheap in my opinion, even if it's really well made. It's also a lot less elegant with the roof up, and again, if I were to spend that much, I wouldn't want to compromise on this. Even on my reasonable MX5 I wanted a hard top to make it feel a bit more upmarket.

Great video, interesting car, but I was SO distracted by your having the wind deflector up at a 45 degree angle while the top was up. This had to have interfered with your rearward vision, and yet it appears it would have required almost no effort to correct. Don't drivers in the U.K. need to see out the back?
