Seeing my first Ferrari, the Portofino M

By -

The day a supercar fan sees his first Ferrari is a very special day and that day happened recently for me when I saw my first Ferrari through the glass of the Ferrari showroom in Mumbai. When I was going there I was thinking of the Ferrari models I could possibly see like the 458 Italia, 812 Superfast, 488 GTB, 488 Pista or maybe even the La Ferrari which is the fastest of all Ferraris. Instead there was a Ferrari in metallic red and with metallic silver wheels that I could not identify but it definitely seemed pretty special. I later found out the car is called the Portofino M and for some reason I did not hear about this car which was unbelievable to me.

So I made sure to find out everything I could about the Portofino M. It turns out the Portofino M was only introduced in 2020 making it one of the newest Ferraris launched. It has a V8 engine and it can reach a top speed of 310 kmh and it is a newer updated more powerful version of the regular Portofino which confirmed my feelings of the car being a special car was right. Now even though I saw only the front and side of the Portofino M it is an absolutely beautiful car especially in the metallic red color that I saw it in the showroom. The Portofino M comes with a retractable roof but the Portofino M I saw had the roof on.

Somehow it feels just right that the first Ferrari I ever saw is this rare and unknown but very special Ferrari that I did not know about and I know I will see more Ferraris in the future but the Portofino M is a car I will never forget for being my first Ferrari sighting.

Porsche 911 Carrera S

November 15th is the 1st anniversary of the Fast Entertainer blog and it is a pretty special occasion which is why it feels like the right time to make a post about the supercar that started it all. The very first supercar that I have documented. The Porsche 911 Carrera S. This is the actual car which I spotted and photographed. You can see it has a nice red color, all black wheels and even a spoiler in the back. You can also see the Carrera S name on the side of the car. I later found out the Porsche 911 Carrera S is a slightly better variant compared to the base 911 as well which is why I was very happy this happened to be my first documented find. I have of course seen or spotted many supercars since then and I have been able to document them. But the first find is a special one and I am glad that it was something like this. The Porsche 911 Carrera S I will always remember for being the car responsible for me starting my mission to document supercars which eventually lead to the c...

Lamborghini Huracan Tecnica

The Lamborghini Huracan Tecnica is the newest Huracan variant that was launched. It is a mid level variant positioned in between the normal Evo variant and the top end track focused STO variant. The Huracan Tecnica is powered by a 631 horsepower V10, so even though it isn’t as powerful as the STO it is still a pretty powerful car by itself. The car reaches a top speed of 325 kmph as well, so the Tecnica is a great package for those who want a faster Huracan that is still road friendly and not track focused. The Huracan Tecnica has some visible exterior changes as well. The general looks are a lot sharper and more aggressive compared to the regular Huracan especially with the black bits at the front. There are a wide variety of customization options as well for owners to spec their car as per their liking, like a carbon fiber hood. Knowing Lamborghini’s pattern of launching and replacing their two supercars with only a short gap and the Aventador already being replaced by the Revuelto j...

Ferrari SF90 XX

The Ferrari SF90 Stradale is already an incredible car by itself, having a total of 1000 hp being powered by a hybrid V8 engine, a top speed of 300+ kmph and a super powerful acceleration. It makes the SF90 Stradale one of Ferraris most powerful cars currently. But if there is one thing you need to know about Ferrari it’s that they will always find a way to enhance some of their fastest production cars and make them even more powerful, usually by creating a high performance or track focused variant that is limited edition. Ferrari have made several of these types of supercars already with the 458 Speciale, 488 Pista, F12 TDF and the 812 Competizione for example. Now it’s the SF90 Stradale’s turn. Meet the Ferrari SF90 XX. So the SF90 XX is said to have 1016 hp and increased downforce among other improvements. There’s also several exterior changes such as an added spoiler, the option to have either yellow or orange colored vents and the overall race car like design that has been put on ...
