The Ferrari Portofino M is just hitting showrooms and the Italian marque has great expectations for its latest hardtop convertible. An updated version of the already excellent Portofino, the Portofino M ( M as in Modificata ) is not the least expensive model in Ferrari s current lineup - that would be the new Roma - but it does have a mission for the Prancing Horse: to bring in first-time customers.
Ferrari product marketing manager Marco Bai told Automotive News it expects to lure in previous and current owners of the Ferrari California and California T convertibles along with spider lovers. However, a full 50 percent of the Portofino M s sales are expected to come from those who ve never owned a Ferrari before.
