    Congrats to all the owners waiting on their PM, mine is just the humble P but if I enjoy it as much as the test drive then I should be happy lol.

    Health & happiness to enjoy your PM’s folks!

    I ordered my PM in Oct of 2020 and heard nothing for the longest time. Original estimate was Dec of 2021 and I just got my final notification that my car left the port and is being trucked to the dealership. Just curious with recent deliveries if you OE leased or bough the car? I'm wondering what to do considering they closed the ordering book and will most likely be introducing the Roma convertible next year?

    Rosso/Nero roof is such a classy combination. That is going to look amazing!

    I’m not an English teacher, but it’s my understanding that the word “humble” and any other word or abbreviations referring to a Ferrari should never be used in the same sentence.

    I agree! My Porto M arrived in April and I love it. Fast, comfortable, agile, nice sound. I bought some Novitec springs and had the car lowered a little bit. The handling is awesome and ride quality was not compromised in any way. Ferrari really hit its desired target with this model. I have a F8S arriving soon and will be selling the M back to the dealer. I wish I could keep both cars. But, my bank account says something has to give:)

    Anyone who buys a Porto M will be a happy customer.

    What color Porto M and what options ? I may be interested in your trade when the F8S arrives.

    My car is Grigio Silverstone with the Nero roof option. I also swapped out the stock wheels for some forged OEM Ferrari wheels. So, some pics show the stock wheels that were on the car when it was delivered and others show the new wheels. The color combo looks sporty and classy. The car gets lots of attention.

    Love the color combo. Looks classy. I have an incoming Porto M and 296GTB and GTS. I am hoping they’ll all come with 18 months or so gap so I can enjoy each car well. Idea is to trade predecessor for the successor.

    Spreading each car out by 18 months would be great. I thought the gap between my Porto M and F8S would be at least six months. But, it looks like it will be closer to three months. Good issue to have. All that being said, I would actually like to have a little more time with the Porto M before giving it up. It really is a great car that is very easy to live with because of the trunk size and second row.

    I have a deposit on a 296 GTS. However, I have yet to see one (or a 296 GTB) in the flesh.

    Same here; never seen a 296 in flesh. Deposits based on reviews and faith (blind faith) in Ferrari, even though I have never owned a Ferrari before :).

    Got confirmation this morning that my Portofino M shipped out over the weekend when I got the third production photo. Assuming it is the Chicago Express: https://www.myshiptracking.com/vessels/chicago-express-mmsi-211839000-imo-9295268. Optimistic it makes the port at NJ/NY in 2 - 3 weeks, then will have a better update of shipping from east coast to San Diego.

    Hi

    I ordered mine on march 2021, yesterday I got the status 30 email which means it is in painting. How long it would take do you think ?

    It'll go real fast to 85 and then its up to shipping and US Custom gods :). Mine went to 85 end of July and learnt Maranello is on vacation in Aug so no progress after that. Very frustrating to wait but sincerely hoping it is worth it ...
