The Ferrari Portofino becomes more aggressive and powerful thanks to Mansory

The Ferrari Portofino could be considered the “entry model” of the vehicles from the Maranello brand, but let’s not fool ourselves: everything that comes out of its factories is truly exclusive, and the Portofino is no exception, with a truly elegant and flowing design that catches every eye as it passes, all complemented by a powerful V8 engine that makes this “little one” a joy with its 620 CV of power.

Now the Ferrari Portofino has passed through the workshops of Mansory, a tuner that, as you know, doesn’t understand design rules and surprises us with something crazy in every build; you either love it or you hate it, and with this new preparation on a Ferrari model it could not be otherwise. The Mansory Portofino sets aside that refined and elegant image to unleash its more sporty and aggressive side thanks to the use of carbon fiber, but its engine also releases that extra spark it had hidden.

In this way, we find a Ferrari Portofino with its bodywork painted yellow, to which, as a contrast, a carbon fiber aerodynamic kit has been applied, resulting in a front end that now features a lower spoiler, embellishers for the side air intakes and the upper sections of the front hood. On the sides, carbon fiber remains present on the skirts, the side gills and the mirrors; while at the rear there is now an aggressive, much more prominent diffuser and a subtle spoiler at the top.

The Ferrari Portofino has a retractable hardtop which, of course, has been reworked by Mansory, now being for the first time made of forged carbon fiber in a dark tone, something that without doubt suits it especially well in combination with the rest of the changes made. Naturally, the functions it comes with as standard are maintained, so it can still be opened and closed electrically while driving or when stationary.

Inside the Ferrari Portofino Mansory has also made changes, especially to its upholstery, for which smooth leather of a thinner grade in a black finish is now used, while as a contrast there will be areas painted in the same yellow as the exterior, such as the dashboard trim, the leather stitching or the exclusive floor mats. In addition, the three buttons on the center console have been painted in green, white and red as a tribute to the Italian flag.

Mechanically there are also changes, and although we still find the 3,800 CC V8 engine block, Mansory has made a series of adjustments to the control unit and installed a new sporty exhaust system, so that power is now increased by 100 CV to reach 720 CV, while torque is now 890 Nm when standard is 760 Nm, figures that now allow it to reach 100 km/h in 3 seconds (0.45 seconds less than standard) and a top speed of 334 km/h. Contact with the road is made through sporty tires mounted on wheels whose design Mansory first used on the F8XX.
