Ferrari Portofino M Novitec...The new Ferrari Portofino M has several technical innovations, such as the renewed powertrain, the new transmission and the five-position 'manettino' with 'Race' mode. Thanks to these and many other measures, it is able to guarantee an unprecedented combination of performance, emotions, agility and versatility.

The 3.8-litre engine of the Ferrari Portofino M is part of the V8 turbo family that won the 'International Engine of the Year' award for four consecutive years (2016-2019). The engine is capable of delivering 620 hp at 7,500 rpm, 20 hp more than the Ferrari Portofino.

But the Germans at Novitec, who are experts in taking the extras from the Maranello house models, present a new integral package that seeks to fulfill the dreams of the most demanding mortals. It adds to the Italian sports car both aerodynamic and interior parts, as well as an additional power kit under the hood.

Inside, the changes focus on customer customization. Thus, they can be introduced to the best combinations of leather and Alcantara in a variety of colors. But the main course of this preparation is hidden in the heart of the car.

In the front and side views, carbon fiber stands out. This light material is present in the new front spoiler, in the frames of the hood and side air outlets, in the discreet coating of the mirrors, in the rear spoiler and in the door frame.

In addition, the set of lower panels, side fins and the folding hard roof cover also feature this material. At the rear, the Ferrari Portofino M by Novitec could not offer less and therefore includes a new rear diffuser with fins and panels in galvanized carbon fiber.

Rounding off the set are the light alloy wheels signed by Vossen in sizes of 21 and 22 inches shod with Pirelli tires. The vehicle's configuration is completed by a reduction in car height of close to 35 mm and a hydraulic front lift system by 40 mm.

The engine offers a total power of 704 hp and a maximum torque of 882 Nm. This allows the Portofino to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.16 seconds and reach a top speed of 325 km/h. Enhancements include sport catalytic converters and a plug-and-play Novitec N-Tronic module.
