First debuted at the 2008 Paris Motor Show, Ferrari’s modern iteration of the California was designed as a more livable grand tourer that broke a large swath of new ground for the venerable Maranello powerhouse. With elegant styling by Pininfarina and a chassis designed and constructed by Scaglietti, the California was a 2+2 GT convertible with a laundry list of Ferrari firsts: the first Ferrari road car with a front-mounted V-8 engine, the first Ferrari utilizing direct gas injection, the first Ferrari with a dual-clutch, automated, 7-speed transaxle, the first Ferrari with an automated, folding hard top, the first Ferrari built on modular architecture, and the first Ferrari with a multi-link rear suspension. Unlike many of Ferrari’s contemporary offerings, which were often harsh, racing machines for the road, the California was designed to be a true GT, a luxurious performance car that could be driven comfortably on a day-to-day basis. As “Automobile Magazine” put it, “A grand tourer in the traditional sense of the word, Ferrari’s hard-top convertible is smooth and luxurious. Its sound level and ride are sedate by Ferrari standards, and its cabin elegant and luxurious.” With a direct-injection 4.3L V-8 engine that bolts out 453 HP, the California is capable of 0-62 MPH in under 4 seconds, with a top speed of 192 MPH, but it can quickly be hauled back down to the speed limit by its Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes. The example on offer is a 2012 Ferrari California with just 14,577 miles and finished in Bianco Avus paint with Cuoio leather interior. Other features include an F1 7-speed dual-clutch transmission with paddle shifters, Daytona-style power seats, dual-zone climate control, rain-sensing wipers, Prancing Horses embroidered into the headrests, aluminum pedal dress-ups and 10-spoke forged black wheels. Please note this Ferrari California has manufacturer buyback branding on the title. The previous owner claimed to hear “tire noise” while driving and vehicle history report indicates that the car was serviced at a Ferrari dealership approximately every 1,000 miles to inspect the tire condition.
