It’s been two years since Ferrari introduced the Portofino M and we’ve already seen a handful of tuners offer their take on the convertible. The latest is Novitec, and they’ve boosted the model to 695 hp and 882 Nm of torque. That’s a sizable improvement over the standard model, which has a twin-turbo 3.9-liter V8 developing 612 hp and 760 Nm of torque. The gain was made possible by the addition of sports catalysts as well as a plug-and-play Novitec N-Tronic module, which “introduces newly programmed maps for injection, boost pressure and ignition control into the electronic engine management system.” Thanks to these changes, the Portofino M can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 3.16 seconds and hit a top speed of 325 km/h.
If that’s too fast, the company also
offers slightly tamer tunes with outputs of 679 hp and 851 Nm of torque as well as 689 hp and 877
Nm. Besides the performance updates, the Portofino M can be equipped with an
assortment of carbon fiber accessories including a front splitter, side skirts,
and a rear lip spoiler. Customers can also order carbon fiber hood vents and
air intake surrounds.
For a sportier stance, the model can be
outfitted with sport springs that reduce the ride height by approximately 35 mm. To further compliment the look, the company has teamed up with
Vossen to offer 21- and 22-inch wheels.
Last but not least, Novitec can fulfill
“even the most unusual wishes of any Ferrari owner when it comes to the
interior design.” In order to do this, they offer a “huge selection” of the
finest leathers as well as “Alcantara in a virtually endless variety of
colors.”
