The Florida Keys is like the Portofino, Italy, of the South. Ok, maybe that's being a bit too generous, but at least you still get beautiful sunsets, great seafood, and lots of impressive architecture (read: giant fish statues). So it made sense that Ferrari selected the island locale for me to test drive the new 2022 Portofino M convertible.

The Portofino M is the brand's best-selling GT car made better. With more power from the twin-turbo V8 – now at a hearty 612 horsepower – a new eight-speed dual-clutch, and a dedicated Race mode, Ferrari very clearly wanted the updated Portofino to be even more aggressive.
