The new Ferrari California is a Gran Turismo model that assures its occupants the glamour, agility and power of a sports car, with an exclusive level of interior comfort.

It is also a vehicle that epitomises its maker’s relentless pursuit of new innovations. The California is, for example, the first Ferrari to have a direct fuel injection engine, ensuring the optimum mixing and combustion inside at up to 8,000rpm.

The impressive speed and acceleration of the California is accompanied by innovations that allow four adults to enjoy a stable and luxurious ride. The dual clutch seven-speed gearbox offers a smooth drive, while the multi-link rear suspension (another first for Ferrari) absorbs impacts, reduces vibrations and even dulls road noise.

Inside the vehicle, the hand-stitched leather upholstery and magnesium back-rest structure achieve the ultimate in comfort and convenience. The surprising practicality of the California is embodied by its boot space of 240 litres, a generous capacity for such a sporty model. The roof itself is a retractable hard top, making the car both a cabriolet and a spider. Moreover, it takes just 14 seconds to open and close.
