Used Ferrari California cars for sale

Used Ferrari California
The Ferrari California is one of those stunning special editions that this famous company has produced from time to time. It’s a beautiful grand touring sports car, produced as a 2+2 convertible and it had become popular with Ferrari enthusiasts since it first rolled off the production line back in 2009. Production has been steady ever since and today, this is one of the best-selling models in the entire Ferrari range. In fact, the car was sold out many months in advance at one stage and in 2012, the company looked to address demand by unveiling a new and improved Ferrari California at the Geneva Motor Show.

What You Get
The original Ferrari California was a real breakthrough and it carried a number of firsts as far as the company was concerned. This was the first vehicle from within this stable to have a front engine V8 and a 7-speed dual clutch transmission. In addition, it was the first to feature a direct petrol injection, a folding metal roof and multi-link rear suspension. Aesthetically, it is one of the most stylish cars ever to emerge from Ferrari and it manages to combine sleek lines with a chunky look and that perfect convertible appearance to finish the deal.

How it Drives
There is some serious power beneath the stylish exterior and our used Ferrari California’s can deliver 0 to 60 miles per hour in just 3.9 seconds and it has a top speed of 194mph. The engine is a 4.3 litre V8 and it is helped on its way by a choice of either a seven-speed automatic gearbox or alternatively, a six-speed manual version. The original Ferrari California was said to be a thrilling ride which verged on the edge at times. As a result, Ferrari have moved to address any ‘heart in the mouth’ handling with a number of improvements within the 2012 model. On this version, the torque curve has been modified, while the car also has new exhaust manifolds and engine mapping. As a result, it has shaved 0.1 of a second from its previous 0-60mph figures but it also handles much more securely. In addition, the company have produced a new ‘Handling Speciale’ package which is an optional extra on the new Ferrari California models.
