Kim Kwang-chul, CEO of FMK Co., Ltd., the importer and distributor of Ferrari in Korea, is introducing the 1000-horsepower convertible plug-in hybrid model, the Ferrari SF90 Spider.

[Asia Economy Reporter Changhwan Lee] Ferrari officially announced the Korean launch of two Spider models, the plug-in hybrid (PHEV) ‘SF90 Spider’ and the V8 grand tourer (GT) ‘Portofino M,’ at its newly opened Seoul Banpo showroom on the 4th.

Last month on the 15th, Ferrari opened a new Banpo showroom and service center in the heart of Gangnam, Seoul, covering approximately 2000m2 across three floors. This 3S showroom integrates Sales, Service, and Spare parts sales and replacement in one location, offering not only vehicle information but also a broad experience of Ferrari’s heritage and the lifestyle the brand pursues.

Kim Kwangcheol, CEO of FMK Co., Ltd., the official importer and distributor of Ferrari in Korea, said, “We are honored to launch these two iconic models at the newly opened Banpo showroom. The 1000-horsepower PHEV model SF90 Spider and the V8 GT Portofino M are the results of Ferrari’s relentless evolution and innovation, representing the pinnacle not only of the brand but also of the sports car and GT Spider categories.”

The SF90 Spider is Ferrari’s first and the only PHEV Spider model in the supercar segment. Combining three electric motors (total 220 horsepower) and a V8 turbo engine (780 horsepower), it delivers 1000 horsepower, featuring the most powerful hybrid system among current mass-produced supercars. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.5 seconds and reaches 200 km/h in only 7 seconds.

The Portofino M is a model born from Ferrari’s passion and perfectionism, achieving a perfect evolution in performance, technology, and design compared to its predecessor, the Portofino. The ‘M’ in the model name signifies these changes and improvements (Modificata).

With a 620-horsepower V8 engine, 20 horsepower more than the previous Portofino, a new 8-speed dual-clutch transmission that enhances efficiency and torque delivery, and the first-ever inclusion of a Race mode among the five Manettino driving modes in a Ferrari GT Spider model, the Portofino M offers perfect performance and driving pleasure befitting a Ferrari GT.

Additionally, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and convenience features have been enhanced to emphasize its identity as a Ferrari GT model that can be enjoyed daily. Notably, it features Ferrari’s proprietary patented folding hardtop, combining both coupe and spider styles.
