The California is the first Ferrari convertible with a retractable hardtop, but because it’s a Ferrari it looks sensational with the roof up or down. And the all-aluminium 4.3 liter V8 is the first Ferrari road car to be mid-front engined. The result is red-hot performance, 0-62mph in under four seconds and a top speed just shy of 200mph. There is also a super slick and lightning quick seven-speed dual clutch gearbox. One clutch is used for even gears and the other for odd numbers. Combine this with F1 paddles on the steering wheel and you’ll be convinced you’re changing gear quicker than Schumacher. The button that really catches the eye is the launch control, again inspired by F1, that fires you like a rocket from a standing start to maximum power.
It also has a retractable hardtop — perfect for the British weather — which disappears in just 14 seconds and you don’t lose half the boot when it’s down, it is still a healthy 240 litres and 340 in the up position. So if anyone fancies buying us one do not be shy - any colour will be fine!
