The number of Ferrari supercars in the Vietnamese market has exceeded 50, with Mr. Dang Le Nguyen Vu currently owning half of these cars. This shows that the Chairman of Trung Nguyen is very passionate about the “prancing horse” supercars, and even for many months, the Ferrari supercars offered on the market have been bought by the largest car collector in Vietnam, with a simple requirement that they are sold by someone familiar and have white plates.
And that’s why Mr. Dang Le Nguyen Vu still hasn’t brought this convertible supercar to his garage. Let’s find out and quickly evaluate the only Ferrari Portofino M in Vietnam: An attractive option for a supercar costing just over 10 billion VND.
When will it return to the country?
In August 2022, Phan Cong Khanh, who is now the owner of the K-Supper supercar showroom, unexpectedly posted pictures of the first Ferrari Portofino supercar to arrive in Vietnam, a car from the M series, an upgrade between life cycles, and it was said to have been registered and completed the registration procedures.
A few days later, the Ferrari Portofino M convertible supercar appeared on the streets of Saigon with the NG license plate, since then, this supercar has rarely been seen on the road, a few months later, the owner of the car unexpectedly sold the Ferrari Portofino M back to Phan Cong Khanh’s supercar showroom.
After the boss of these supercars was arrested, the Ferrari Portofino M could be seen on the streets of Hanoi, and since then, it has been offered for sale by many showrooms.
How much does the only Ferrari Portofino M in Vietnam currently cost?
The Ferrari Portofino is a convertible supercar following the success of the Ferrari California, which has just been discontinued this year, meaning that the company is no longer producing it. In Vietnam, there is currently only 1 Ferrari Portofino M for sale.
Based on our research, the only Ferrari Portofino M in Vietnam is currently being offered for sale at a price of 10.9 billion VND. It has already traveled 8,000 km, is a 2021 model, with this amount of money, you will have many options for used supercars, but for something as new and unique as the Ferrari Portofino M, there is only 1.
What’s good about the Ferrari Portofino M?
To diversify its product line, in 2008, Ferrari unveiled a convertible car line, and they simply named it California. This name revived the name used on the Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder in the late 1950s and the 365 California in the 1960s.
Initially, the California was introduced as an affordable model, however, it included many new design improvements from Ferrari, and most importantly, it had 4 seats, which was a luxury for “prancing horse” cars at that time. 10 years later, this car line has a successor – the Portofino, which was introduced at the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show.
The Ferrari Portofino is also similar to the California with only 1 convertible variant, and it has a hardtop roof, which is very fashionable, as well as convenient, not worrying about long-term use, getting deformed or deteriorating like a soft top.
If the California has been on the market for 10 years, the Ferrari Portofino has only had a lifespan of 6 years, from 2017 to 2023, and it was only discontinued this year. The Ferrari Portofino has 2 versions – the standard version and the mid-lifecycle upgrade, called the Ferrari Portofino M, with its predecessor being the California T.
The “M” in the name of the car stands for “Modificata”, which means “modified” in Italian, referring to the upgrades that Ferrari has made to this convertible supercar, not only in terms of design but also in improving its maximum power.
Compared to the standard version, the Ferrari Portofino M has the most changes at the rear of the car, with a completely redesigned rear bumper, suitable for the revised exhaust system to bring a more interesting sound.
The interior of the Ferrari Portofino M convertible supercar that arrived first in Vietnam still features the characteristic 2+2 style with 2 rear seats that are only suitable for children to sit in.
In addition to that, it also has notable features such as a 10.25-inch touchscreen on the dashboard, a steering wheel with integrated function buttons, and an additional screen.
Powertrain
The Ferrari Portofino M convertible supercar is still equipped with a twin-turbocharged 3.9-liter V8 engine, but it has been retuned to deliver a maximum power of 612 horsepower, an increase of 20 horsepower, and the peak torque of this supercar is 760 Nm, the same as the Ferrari Roma.
With this power, the upgraded version of the Ferrari Portofino convertible supercar can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.45 seconds, from 0 to 200 km/h in 9.8 seconds, before reaching a top speed of 320 km/h.
In addition, the mid-lifecycle upgrade of the Ferrari Portofino M is also equipped with the latest and most advanced Side Slip Control system and an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission, with a smaller clutch assembly than the previous 7-speed transmission of the Ferrari Portofino, capable of withstanding higher torque.
