CALIFORNIA T – FERRARI’S NEW GRAND TOUR<br />
W<br />
ith an all-new<br />
turbocharged V8, Ferrari’s<br />
latest California model<br />
is proving to the world<br />
it may have stunningly<br />
feminine curves, but its one supercar<br />
that’s certainly not just for girls.<br />
Appreciated for its versatility, looks,<br />
as well as its stunning handling and<br />
performance, this California, with its<br />
folding hardtop, 2+2 seating and up to<br />
320 litres of luggage space, is one of the<br />
most practical of all Ferraris, appealing<br />
to a wider audience than ever before. It<br />
also sounds incredible – start it up and<br />
hear it roar.<br />
It’s a car brimming with innovation that<br />
will more than meet the expectations of<br />
discerning clients for whom fun behind<br />
the wheel is a priority, but who also<br />
demand a sumptuously comfortable<br />
Grand Tourer they can use every day.<br />
Epitomising the matchless elegance,<br />
sportiness, versatility and exclusivity that<br />
have distinguished every California model<br />
since the 1950s, this stunning model is a<br />
wonderful expression of Ferrari’s sporty<br />
DNA.<br />
Maranello’s engineers have managed<br />
to design a remarkable power unit that<br />
combines classic Ferrari engine qualities,<br />
such as razor-sharp responsiveness,<br />
blistering performance, superbly<br />
powerful acceleration at all speeds and<br />
an exhilarating soundtrack, with the<br />
advantages turbo technology, such as<br />
drastically reduced emissions and fuel<br />
consumption, a high specific power<br />
output and compact dimensions. A<br />
genuinely unprecedented achievement<br />
that sets a new benchmark for the<br />
industry.<br />
With a 0-60 sprint time of just 3.6<br />
secs, almost 50% more torque in 7th<br />
gear, a 15% greater range and 20%<br />
reduction in the CO2/horsepower<br />
ratio compared to its predecessor, this<br />
‘T’ model is an enormously attractive<br />
proposition.Slip inside, and you’ll see<br />
the California T’s cabin exudes a sense<br />
of warmth and craftsmanship, and<br />
was designed to be as ergonomic as<br />
possible, with luxurious semi-aniline<br />
leather trim. The space on-board is<br />
flexible too, and owners can make<br />
the most efficient use of its generous<br />
boot capacity even with the top down,<br />
thanks to the communication between<br />
the luggage compartment and rear<br />
seats.<br />
