2022 Ferrari Portofino M Review

- Riotous acceleration from the turbo V8
- Styling and presence do the brand justice
- Extensive personalization options
- Don't expect to fit adults comfortably in the back
- Most safety features are either optional or not available
- No notable changes for 2022
- Part of the first Portofino generation that debuted in 2018
If you're looking to make a statement about your wealth, owning a Ferrari is one of the most obvious flexes. Naturally, not everyone can afford the million-dollar-plus offerings from Ferrari's Icona series, and the more conventional models will still set you back half a million. For more modest budgets, there's the 2022 Ferrari Portofino M. This is the "entry-level" vehicle in the lineup. With a starting price well past $200,000, it's a fair statement that the Portofino M is well past the realm of affordability in any non-Ferrari stable.
When it debuted in 2018, the Portofino was a welcome replacement for the generally unloved Ferrari California. The Portofino's more attractive styling, combined with an increase in performance, helps it avoid the California's reputation as the "poor man's Ferrari."
Among the few other exotic convertibles out there, the 2022 Ferrari Portofino M is a worthy competitor. Chief rivals include the Aston Martin DB11, Audi R8 and Porsche 911, with each delivering varying degrees of luxury, comfort and performance. There's not a bad choice in the bunch, but it can be said that only one of them is a Ferrari.

The 2022 Ferrari Portofino M is a four-seat folding-hardtop convertible that is offered in a single trim level.

Ferrari Portofino M vs. the competition

2022 Ferrari Portofino M

2022 Aston Martin DB11
Ferrari Portofino M vs. Aston Martin DB11
The Ferrari Portofino M and Aston Martin DB11 are pretty much cut from the same cloth. Both deliver potent performance in a relatively comfortable touring convertible package. They also tend to rely on brand cachet over technological innovation — neither excels in regard to infotainment or advanced safety features.
Ferrari Portofino M vs. Audi R8
The Audi R8 may not have rear seats, but considering how small the Portofino's are, that's likely not to be a deal-breaker. The R8 represents a high-tech counterpoint to the Portofino M, with a more up-to-date infotainment system and additional standard features. The R8 is also available with all-wheel drive for added confidence on wet or dry pavement.
Ferrari Portofino M vs. Porsche 911
The Porsche 911 is easily one of the most popular and recognizable sports cars ever made. As a result, it doesn't turn as many heads as the Portofino M or other rarer vehicles. That said, for about the same amount of money you'd spend for a Portofino M, you could get the top Porsche 911 Turbo S Convertible, which is easier to live with and more capable in regard to performance.
