How to spot one

Look for

  • Roof closed, the hardtop creates a fastback profile; open, it leaves only a small hump.5
  • LED headlights accompany a grille whose outer edges turn upward.56
  • Sculpted horizontal vents start behind the front wheels and extend into the doors.16
  • Fairings run back from the rear headrests into the trunk lid.6

Year by year

  1. 2021–2023 (M)

    The M gains an air vent high on the front bumper and grille slats with contrasting faceted tips.1012

  2. 2021–2023 (M)

    The rear diffuser is redesigned as a separate piece from the bumper, with carbon fiber available.91012

  3. 2021–2023 (M)

    The steering-wheel mode dial expands from three settings to five, adding Wet and Race.91011

Don’t confuse it with

  • California T

    Look for the Portofino's lower rear deck and sculpted vents reaching into the doors; its nose has redesigned LED headlights.516
