THIS IS AN ANIMATED EXOTIC TRIGGERS ARE "OPEN" AND "CLOSE" AND "DRIVE" TO MAKE THE WHEELS SPIN (WITH MATCHING ENGINE SOUND) The Ferrari California is the first Ferrari Gran Turismo with a mid-front 8-cylinder engine: a vehicle that uncompromisingly combines sportiness with versatility, guaranteeing the maximum driving pleasure characteristic of cars from Maranello. Like all new Ferraris, this model also contains a wealth of leading-edge technological solutions, starting with the new direct petrol injection V8 engine mounted in a frontal position and coupled (via the traditional transaxle system) to a dual-clutch transmission and seven gears. The Ferrari California is a convertible GT with retractable hard-top, making it a car with a dual soul: coupé and spider rolled into one. It is based on the original 2+ concept, which provides great flexibility for use in different driving conditions. While the Ferrari California is an extremely innovative car, its philosophy recalls the spirit of a great Ferrari from the past: the 250 California of 1957. This was a car of rare elegance, a car born to race, that has since become a symbol not only of sportiness and innovation, but also of exclusivity, craftsmanship and great refinement.
