Ferrari California: official photos

posted: Monday 19 May 2008 by Alison in: Ferrari Coupe Convertibles

A conceptual and stylistic evolution: in offering comment on the new Ferrari California we need to think about the desire to renew a traditional brand linked to its past.

The technical details of the first coupé-cabriolet show some tasty morsels, one after the other: the debut of direct injection and the eight cylinder V form. The power doesn’t quite get to 4.7 litres though, but is “limited” to 4300 cc. The 460 hp at 7,500 revs however, allow for an acceleration of 0-100km less than four seconds.

The transmission is also new with a double-clutch, and seven speeds that enable road comfort but all the grunt you want on the track. All this with the F1-Trac control system that will support the dynamic driving of the California.

Other extras include Brembo ceramic-carbon discs, just to show that driving with the wind in your hair doesn’t mean driving like a tourist.

The Ferrari California joins the Prancing Horse’s eight cylinder family, which has always been defined by power and performance. It also flanks the flagship 612 Scaglietti in the prestige sporty Grand Tourer segment.
