The Italian carmaker has just revealed some info on its new
Ferrari California. Equipped with a 460 hp 4.3-liter mid-front placed V8 engine with direct fuel injection, the convertible fits neatly between the entry-level
F430 and more advanced
Ferrari 612 Scaglietti model.
Posted by: nektotigra on 14/05/08 Although sporting quite an ordinary design,
Ferrari California seems to be a step forward for the company. For the first time, a
Ferrari is fitted with a folding metal hardtop, a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission you won't even notice shifting gears, and a multi-link rear suspension. Independent testing of the car is still months away but it has a good chance to become a GT, which is both comfortable and fun to drive.
Set to be unveiled at the upcoming Paris Motor Show in September, the car features an aluminum body, carbon-ceramic brakes and the
F1-Trac traction system outsourced from the gorgeous
Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano.
