The 2022 Ferrari Portofino M convertible justifies its nearly quarter-million-dollar price tag with the bravado and exotica that’s exemplified by the Italian supercar maker. The Ferrari’s sharply sculpted body draws gazes in the light of day, and the sound of its high-revving 612-hp twin-turbo V-8 causes goosebumps in the dark of night. The Portofino M’s engine sits ahead of the driver instead of behind, making room for a pair of hilariously small back seats and a rear trunk that’s only useful if the folding hardtop isn’t folded. What’s lost in cargo space is gained in ear ecstasy when the top is dropped and the Portofino M is being raced along a sunny coast or a mountain pass. While the 2022 Portofino M’s fuel economy is middling and popular driver assists cost extra, those are likely plebian concerns to those who can afford one of these magnificent machines.
