What's New
Brand-new for the 2010 model year, Ferrari's first-ever folding-hardtop convertible perhaps isn't the most striking design in the Maranello stable, but there's no denying the driving delights the California provides. From its screaming front-mounted V-8 to its near-perfect dual-clutch 7-speed to its gorgeous, comforts-filled cabin, the California is nothing short of supercar bliss --alfresco style.
Exterior
Okay, we don't love it. While the California is by no means unattractive, it's not the most innovative or memorable of Ferrari's recent designs. For sure, the best angle on this one is from the driver's seat.
Interior
While the exterior is a bit of a letdown, the cockpit more than compensates --thanks to an abundance of goodies (including standard navigation), luscious tailoring, and fabulous seats. Oh, and you simply can't beat unlimited headroom.
Performance & Handling
Ferrari may call the California a "gran turismo," but after a few minutes behind the wheel you'll be thinking "supercar." How does 0 to 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds sound? Actually, with that twin-cam V-8 howling to 8000 rpm right in front of you, it sounds simply sizzling. Also on board are standard ceramic brakes and a chassis as sticky as it is smooth.
Safety
The expected protective measures are all in place, including dual front and side airbags and standard stability and traction-control systems. Also, those amazing ceramic binders can stop the car from 60 mph in just 100 feet.
