The Ferrari California T<\/b> epitomises elegance, sportiness, versatility and exclusivity: characteristics that have distinguished every California<\/b> model since the 1950s.<\/p>\n

New V8: intense sound and vivid acceleration<\/h2>\n

The California T<\/b> boasts striking standards of innovation while retaining signature features such as the successful \u00a02+ concept, a refined cabin and, of course, the retractable hard top (RHT) which transforms it from a chic coup\u00e9 into a sleekly sophisticated spider in a mere 14 seconds.<\/p>\n

The Ferrari California T<\/b> brims with a host of new solutions, not least of which is its 8- cylinder turbo engine. Maranello\u2019s engineers have created an entirely new power unit \u00a0which \u00a0delivers absolutely superb levels of performance, blistering pick-up and the most exhilarating soundtrack any turbo has ever yielded.<\/p>\n

This is also the first time virtually zero turbo lag has been achieved on an engine of this type, guaranteeing instantaneous response to commands and, as with naturally-aspirated power units, a torque curve that increases constantly across the rev range thanks to Variable Boost Management.<\/p>\n

The direct-injection, 3855 \u00a0cc turbo 8-cylinder is mounted very low in the chassis in a mid-front position and delivers 560 cv at 7500 rpm, which translates into a specific power output of 145 \u00a0cv\/l \u2013 the highest in its category \u2013 as along with maximum torque of 755 Nm. Figures that give the California T<\/b> extraordinary acceleration over the 0 to 100 km\/h sprint which it covers in just 3.6 seconds.<\/p>\n

As in Formula 1 this season, a turbo is used to cut fuel consumption and \u00a0CO2 emissions. Compared to the outgoing model, fuel consumption is down by around 15 per cent* despite 70 cv more power and a 49 per cent increase in torque. Emissions are down to 250 g\/km over the combined cycle which equates to a 20per cent reduction in the CO2\/cv ratio (0.44\u00a0 \u00a0g\/cv).<\/p>\n

The California T<\/strong>\u2019s engine also benefits from several other solutions used on the single-seater, not least compact, very low inertia twin-scroll turbines to ensure ultra-sharp throttle response. The Scuderia<\/b>\u2019s methodologies and plant are also used for certain phases of its production, particularly at the casting stage.<\/p>\n

One major challenge involved in the design of the California T<\/b> was to guarantee\u00a0it a typically intense, exhilarating Ferrari<\/b>\u00a0engine sound. The engine produces a powerful, engaging sound during both the intake and exhaust phases, becoming even more potent as engine speed increases.<\/p>\n

The California T<\/b> delivers true sports car dynamics too, thanks to reduced steering wheel activity and improved steering response to driver input, courtesy of a new steering box and suspension set-up. New springs and latest-generation Magnaride dampers, combined with body motion accelerometers, reduce roll and pitch for more precise handling whilst still guaranteeing an incredibly comfortable ride.<\/p>\n

The California T<\/b> also has the latest evolution of the F1-Trac traction control system for maximum acceleration out of corners, thereby underscoring the sportier side of its personality.\u00a0The California T<\/b>\u2019s architecture, controls and new 8-cylinder engine ensure consistently intense driving pleasure in challenging driving conditions as well as making the car fun to drive even in more relaxed situations, very much in the Grand Tourer tradition.<\/p>\n

The Ferrari California T: a new individual personality<\/h2>\n

Considerable attention\u00a0was paid to the design, maintaining the outgoing model\u2019s overvall dimensions while ensuring that the <\/b>California T<\/b> has a new, individual personality.\u00a0The sleek proportions were penned by the Ferrari<\/b> Styling Centre in collaboration with Pininfarina and are very much in keeping with the Ferrari<\/b> front-engined ethos.<\/p>\n

The shape of the California T<\/b>\u2019s flanks is inspired by the 250 Testa Rossa\u2019s famous pontoon-fender styling, with the front wing line stretching back towards the compact, muscular rear, bringing an aerodynamic sleekness and movement to the sides. The rear benefits from meticulous aerodynamic research resulting in a new triple-fence diffuser.<\/p>\n

The California T<\/b>\u2019s cabin was designed to be as ergonomic as possible and exudes a sense of warmth and craftsmanship, with luxurious Frau semi-aniline leather trim. The interior space is flexible so that owners can make the most efficient use of the boot capacity even with the top down, thanks to the opening between the luggage compartment and rear seats.<\/p>\n

The California T<\/b> will be unveiled at the Geneva International Motor Show in March, and will be launched in two colours: Rosso California<\/b>, an intense, deep new red inspired by classic Ferraris<\/b>, and Blu California<\/b>, which underscores the versatility and elegance of this new model.<\/p>\n
