The 2010 Ferrari California is a throwback to one of the all-time great Ferraris-the 250 GT California Spyder. The new California is the first retractable hardtop the company has ever offered, and the entire package offers owners all the benefits of a nimble grand tourer and a top-down cruiser.
The 2010 Ferrari California Production is a high performance two door sports car with a retractable hard top. Ferrari California even more powerful and even sportier. The new supercharged engine represents an increase in power output for the 4.3-liter V8 with direct fuel injection that delivers high performance, exceptional handling and a better mileage.
In addition to sporting the marque’s classic styling cues, 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.
The aerodynamic kit includes: a new front spoiler, new rocker panels with integrated airfoils and black side markers, a rear diffuser and rear spoiler lip and of course a set of three-piece Novitec Rosso NF3 wheels. The exteriors feature the aluminum retractable hard top, bi-xenon headlights, LED rear lights and mirrors.
The NOVITEC ROSSO specialists fit the eight-cylinder four-valve engine of the California with a mechanical charger driven by the crankshaft via a cogged belt. Boost pressure is limited to 0.4 bars.
The system also includes a water-to-air intercooler, a custom intake manifold and larger injectors.
The interiors are mostly finished in leather and it features the leather seats, sporty steering wheel, TFT Multidisplay, Ipod connector, hard disc, USB connection, 6.5 inches touch screen, Bluetooth and a large luggage space.
The California’s steering wheel is in keeping with the rest of the Ferrari lineup, making use of a wheel-mounted control called the manettino, which allows the driver to adjust the attitude of the various mechanical systems of the car, including engine mapping, traction control and suspension.
Standard safety goodies include control for stability and traction with F1 Trac-a system derived from the F1 racing program which uses predictive software to give a delicate and refined control over drive-wheel spin.
