Ferrari is known for creating supercars that defy the architectural layout of automobiles. California T is one of those engineering innovations that have been made to be gentle on roads. The exteriors of the latest iteration shed the clumsiness that was present in the earlier versions. It might not be a grand tourer but feels just as comfortable. Where other automakers are taking the downscaling of engines seriously, Ferrari made a bold decision in offering the V8 along with the addition of a turbocharger. The engine pumps out massive 552 PS which can help drag this car to 100kmph from zero in 3.6 seconds, attaining the staggering speed of 320kmph. Interiors are designed to bask in the home of luxury and comfort. With fastest and smoothest handling on roads, eye-grabbing exteriors and the convenience of converting it into a cabriolet in just 14 seconds, California T is one of the most practical Ferraris on offer today.

The California is Ferraris softest car, but the gentle roadster has been given a highly significant kick up the chuff courtesy an all-new twin-turbo V8 that delivers 552bhp and 557lb ft. This new engine suits the cars easy-driving character, as well as letting you go longer before stopping for fuel. New exterior panels shed the awkwardness of the former shape. Other innovations include slightly firmer springs for better handling, with re-tuned adaptive dampers for a better ride. If that?s not your bag, spec the �5,568 Handling Speciale pack with even stiffer springs, a nosier exhaust and new gearbox software. However underneath, the California is the same all-aluminium folding hard-top 2+2 as before. Getting up to speed Ferraris transition back into the realm of turbocharging wasnt a decision made lightly, and the alteration wasnt performed sheerly in the pursuit of increased output. As international emissions and fuel economy regulations become stricter, performance brands are among those most affected, and Ferrari is no more immune to those regulations than anyone else is. For better or worse, this change in engine configuration has a fairly substantial impact on not only the Californias power delivery, but its overall personality as well. Yet theres no denying that the move served its purpose: Along with the performance improvements, the California T also boasts a 15-percent drop in emissions and a substantial improvement in fuel economy as well. The 250g/km CO2 figure speaks of better consumption when youre going gently; official Ferrari figures state 26.9mpg, almost unheard of from Maranello. Ferrari owners will notice not the money saved but tank range increased. Insurance and tyres and so-on will be punishing. But new Ferraris get seven years of maintenance included in the price (and a four-year warranty). As it is the most attainable Ferrari on sale, this extended package may well come as a pleasant surprise, even for those stepping from established premium makes such as Mercedes-Benz and BMW. Welcome to the Ferrari family. Out on the road One of the main reasons Id hesitate to classify the California T as a supercar can be found just driving around town. City driving in a supercar can be a stressful proposition: Supercar attributes like a low front splitter threaten to scrape the pavement at the mere suggestion of uneven ground, and a stiffly tuned suspension is always ready to abuse your nerves over pockmarked urban streets. Neither of these is an issue when driving this Ferrari. As a hardtop convertible, the California T's cabin merges the best of the roadster and coupe worlds, with a well-built, sturdy feel to the interior that hasn't always been typical of Ferrari. Passenger room is good up front, but the plus-two rear seats are best reserved for children or extra gear. There's a new seat design with more bolstering, and while we'll say the trunk is useful for a carefully packed weekend away, it's hardly spacious. The folding hardtop operates smoothly and quickly, opening and closing in about 15 seconds. Of course the California T, can be custom tailored to an owner's every wish, with special colors, trims and accessories. You won't end up with the same car as anyone else. Standard features on the California T include navigation, USB connections, and even something you might not expect from a Ferrari sports car: cupholders. There's some modern tech here, too; Apple CarPlay has arrived, and a new digital gauge system, called Turbo Performance Engineer is located between the two central air vents.

He Ferrari California is a grand touring sports car produced by the Italian manufacturer Ferrari. It is a two-door 2+2 hard top convertible. When originally released, the California was powered by a front-mid mounted naturally aspirated 4.3-litre V8;[1] in 2014 Ferrari introduced the second generation of the model, named California T and using a new twin-turbo 3.9-litre V8. The car revives the name used on the late-1950s Ferrari 250 GT Spyder California and the 1960s 365 California. The California represents a number of firsts for Ferrari: The first front engined Ferrari with a V8 The first to feature a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission The first with a folding metal roof The first with multi-link rear suspension The first with direct petrol injection Bosch produced the direct injection system. The engine displaces 4,297 cubic centimetres (262.2 cubic inches), and used gasoline direct injection. It delivers 338 kW (453 bhp) at 7,750 rpm; its maximum torque produced is 485 Nm (358 lbfft) at 5,000 rpm. The resulting 79 kW (106 bhp) per litre of engine displacement is one of the highest for a naturally aspirated engine, as other manufacturers have used supercharging or turbocharging to reach similar power levels.[6] The body computer system was developed by Magneti Marelli Automotive Lighting.
