Ferrari Portofino M

A Ferrari with room for a day out

The Ferrari Portofino M has the sharp response and unmistakable sound you expect from a Ferrari, but its convertible layout gives it a more relaxed side. It feels at home on Jumeirah Beach Road with the roof open, or pulling up at a hotel valet. In Downtown traffic, the automatic transmission makes the stop-start stretches easier to live with; on a clear run, the V8 gives it a much more urgent character.

This is a car to enjoy at your own pace, not one that demands a special route every time you take it out. In Dubai’s hotter months, you can keep the roof closed for the longer parts of a drive and save open-air motoring for the cooler evening.

Best plans for the Portofino M

It suits a birthday, a wedding arrival or a photo shoot particularly well. For a couple visiting Dubai, it also makes a memorable way to spend a day around the Palm and Jumeirah, with the option of a longer drive towards Abu Dhabi. The rear seats add flexibility, though they are better suited to shorter trips than a full day with adult passengers.

If you are travelling with several large cases, this is not the most practical choice for an airport run. Pack lightly if you plan to drive with the roof open, as convertible roof storage affects luggage space.

The details before you drive

The Portofino M is a two-door, four-seat convertible with a 3.9L twin-turbo V8 producing 612 hp. It has an automatic transmission and runs on petrol. Those specifications explain its appeal: serious Ferrari performance in a shape that also works for a relaxed coastal drive.
