As anticipated by Car, Ferrari will upgrade its California model right at the beginning of 2012. Its 4.3 V8 engine will benefit from a reduction of the internal frictions and get an extra 30 hp - boosting its power up to 490 hp - while electronics and exhaust system will be revised as well. Besides, thanks to the use of new materials, the car will also lose 30kg. Rumor has it that this solution alone will eventually lead to a complete restyling of the model, but at the moment there is no confirmation on the matter.

The dual clutch option will remain the only one available, while a new Handling Speciale package featuring a new suspension control software that will improve the car’s overall behavior is also in the wings. The California model year 2012 will also make use of an updated infotainment system with a 40GB hard-disk and compatible with iPhone 4 and all the most recent smartphones.
