2009 Ferrari California

The Ferrari California joins the Prancing Horse's 8-cylinder family which has always been defined by power and performance. The Ferrari California, will be available exclusively as a convertible with a folding hard top. The Ferrari California will be powered by a new 4.3 Litre V8 engine and sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in less than 4.0 seconds. Both chassis and bodywork are aluminium, in line with the rest of the current range. The California will be powered by a new V8 engine mounted for the first time in the marque's history in the mid-front position. The Ferrari California's 4,300 cc V8 engine features direct fuel injection and a "flat" crankshaft. It generates 460 CV at 7,500 rpm with a torque curve that enhances vehicle dynamics. The cabin has also been beautifully trimmed using quality materials by Ferrari's own skilled artisans. New accessories and equipment, such as the seats, steering wheel, instrument panel and infotainment system, together with optimised aerodynamics ensure that this is a highly ergonomic and enjoyable car to drive regardless of whether the top is up or down.
