True to its name, the California is a 2+2 grand touring convertible with a classic front-engine layout. Its rigid roof collapses into the top portion of the trunk. As always at Ferrari, glory emanates from the engine compartment. In this case, a 4.7L V8 does the honours and delivers 483 horses and 372 lbs.-ft. of torque through the quick-shifting seven-speed dual-clutch automated manual. An optional Handling Speciale package sharpens the chassis’ reflexes.
