Ferrari California T

Post by Big Kev »

Much nicer than the old one in my opinion.
Less lardy at the back.

The new California T is powered by a low-mounted direct-injection 3.8-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine producing 552bhp at 7500rpm and 557lb ft of torque. Ferrari says the California T can accelerate from rest to 62mph in 3.6 seconds and has a top speed of 196mph, both marginal improvements over the old model.

Reserving judgement till I hear it :)
Still looks like the "girly" model.

So the rumours were true and it gets the same engine as the Maserati QP. Suits the character of the car. First turbo Ferrari at this end of the market? The styling details are a big improvement but it still has that slightly lardy look about it.

Still think they are missing an opportunity.

With paddle shifters there is no need for a centre console. Plenty of room for a bench seat :up:

Surely there's still a gearbox and prop shaft under there...?

Nice, less aggressive look.
