Ferrari California

Ferrari California. I see it as a deck which connects Italy with America in a very original manner. The California is nothing else than the "reincarnation" of the legendary model from 1957 of the company from Maranello: the 250 California. It was a car that, like any Ferrari, was a true emblem of refinement, craftsmanship and exclusivism.

I love the air intakes, whose effect, of highlighting the aggression and sportsmanship, is strongly increased by the exhausts, which have been mounted in a way completely ... unusual.

Current model California is the first Ferrari with the engine located on the front, which is a V8 that develops 460 horses at 7750 rpm and 485 Nm at 5,000 rpm. Reaches a top speed of 310 km/h (193 mph). Goes from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in less than four seconds.

There are two optional gearboxes for this model: those used on the fireballs from Formula 1, double clutch, seven-speed plus reverse or manual, 6-speed plus reverse.

The gums that are loading this jewel are: front - 245/40 ZR19" (optional 245/35 ZR20"); rear - 285/40 ZR19" (optional 285/35 ZR20").

The brakes are made from carbon ceramic.

Average consumption is 13 liters per 100 kilometers.

The price of a Ferrari California is 192,000 dollars.

It's not having the hallucinating sensuality of 599 GTO, but admiring its exciting lines, I realize that this doesn't matter, because from any angle i watch it, i just can't manage to appease my insatiable appetite of tasting at least once the real sensation of a walk at the wheel of this noble nag from Maranello.
