Ferrari Shows new California Car
Ferrari has published these first photographs of its new California sport car.
The Ferrari California will be available exclusively as a convertible with a folding hard top. Both chassis and bodywork are aluminum, in line with the rest of the current range. The California will be powered by a new 4.3 litre V8 engine with direct fuel injection generating 460 bhp at 7,500 rpm, blasting the car from rest to 60 mph in under 4.0 seconds.
The California uses a 7-speed dual clutch automatic transmission that reduces fuel consumption to about 17.5 mpg. There’s a new multilink rear suspension system. The Ferrari California is also equipped with the F1-Trac traction control system which made its debut on the 599 GTB Fiorano. The Brembo brakes feature carbon-ceramic material discs as standard.
The car will be officially unveiled to the public at the Paris International Car Show in September.
