As it is widely familiar, the Ferrari car industry has been able to make every model unique in some way. A quick overview of this model will allow us to see which traits make this model unique in the way it is.

What is special about this model?

Released for sale in the early 2008, the Ferrari California presented itself as an opportunity to introduce the new innovative changes to future models. Introducing somewhat radical changes, compared to previous models, which were designed to be either sports or racing cars, the Ferrari California grand touring sports car doesn’t for strike as the lean mean sports car types we got used to. The first major improvement in the area of engines has appeared along with this model. This was the first model to ever have a fronts V-8 engine. In fact, that wasn’t the only feature the Ferrari California brought into the Ferrari family upon release. It is also responsible for wielding the 7 speed dual clutch transmission and the multi –link where suspension. In terms of design, the Magneti Marelli has taken over the designing, and have made sure that this will be the most aerodynamic car ever to be made. It has also been the first car to have the hard folding top with two sections, which inevitably make it easier to fold and unfold. As for the interior, as most certainly followed the standard Ferrari sports car layout, with beautifully designed seats. While it is certainly meant to be a two-seater, it does have to smaller seats in the back, which might be suitable for children, given that they are very small.

How much of upgrading can expect to get done?

This is another instance where the Ferrari California strikes a difference in comparison to all the other models. As you would expect, normally, you would be able to have access to various upgrade packages or individual pieces of equipment or the aesthetic upgrades. This time, it is a little different. Don’t worry, you will still be able to customize your car just as any other Ferrari model, except this time you will have absolute freedom and control over your choices.

With a powerful 9.4:1 compression ratio, with a direct fuel injection system the maximum power this engine can produce is 412kW at 7500rpm. This makes the torque go as far as 755kW at 4750rpm.

It is incredibly fast, there is no doubt about that.

What about the fuel expenses?

Perhaps the only thing which would be less than perfect about the Ferrari California is the fuel tank capacity, which could be larger, but is satisfying. The fuel tank holds the capacity to successfully be filled with 20.6 gallons of fuel. This might be counted as a decent tank size and many users expressed the need for a larger fuel tank, but seeing as a larger one would be hardly fitted the design of the sleek sports car, the Ferrari car industry has done everything in their power to reduce the fuel consumption of the engine, making the average amount of fuel consumed 13mpg. Admittedly, this isn’t quite impressive, but it serves its purpose quite fine, and given that the rest of the cars in perfect condition it doesn’t pose a much of a threat. In addition to the generally low engine fuel consumption, the amount of CO2 emissions has been reduced to a 250 g/km thanks to HELE system.

Can I count on maximum safety?

Just like always, the Ferrari car industry is taking special care for the safety of drivers. Seeing as they’re producing cars which are really fast and potentially dangerous to drive, all of safety measures have to be included with the car, so it would be deemed safe enough to drive. The Ferrari California is no different in that regard. The airbags are standard issue piece of the equipment, and they have been deployed both at the front and that the side of the driver and the passenger. The antilock brakes and stability control are also present, along with the traction control.

What is the final verdict?

This is the only model we have to look forward to, as it is still in production, we may expect to new surprise from the Ferrari car industry quite soon, maybe an even more improved version of what we have just seen here.
