"What are the key differences between the Portofino and the Portofino M?"

Question

Accepted Answer

Here are the headline differences between the Portofino and the Portofino M:

POWER & PERFORMANCE
- Engine is still the 3.9 L twin-turbo V8, but the M is tuned to 620 hp (+20 hp) and hits 100 km/h in 3.45 s vs 3.5 s.
- New exhaust with a sportier note and no rear muffler.

TRANSMISSION
- 8-speed dual-clutch instead of the old 7-speed; quicker, smoother shifts and 8 kg lighter.

DRIVING MODES & CHASSIS
- Manettino now includes RACE mode (standard Portofino stops at Sport).
- 6th-gen Side-Slip-Control and variable-boost torque management for livelier but safer handling.

STYLING Tweaks
- Larger front intakes, reshaped bumper and diffuser, slimmer rear lights, more aggressive aero.
- Deletes the rear muffler so the diffuser sits lower and cleaner.

INTERIOR / TECH
- Ventilated, slimmer front seats free up a bit more rear-room.
- Full-HD split-view centre screen plus a passenger-side display.
- Apple CarPlay & Android Auto now standard.

Bottom line: the “M” (Modificata) keeps the same folding-hard-top GT spirit but adds power, an extra ratio in the gearbox, track-focused RACE mode and fresher tech. Both are great cruisers, but the M is the sharper, more modern choice.
