Starting MSRP $192,000

 

The 2010 Ferrari California is the smallest in the lineup.  Its name came from the original 250 California Spyder featured in Ferris Bueller's Day Off.  It features a retractable hardtop and it is listed as a grand tourer.  It has such features as Bluetooth, iPod compatibility, a backup camera and a navigation system. A 4.3-liter V-8 and Formula One-derived stability system gives drivers a racing feel.

While it resembles the 458 Italia, the lower sitting California is slightly longer but narrower than the 458 Italia. The grille hangs low on the bumper, with a small hood scoop above it. In back, single LED taillights sit above four exhaust pipes — two stacked vertically on each side.  The Ferrari California comes in a variety of colors, materials and accessories.

Ferrari says the aluminum hardtop does it's job in just 14 seconds and it takes up 3.5 cubic feet out of the trunk's 12.0-cubic-foot capacity. Nineteen-inch alloy wheels are standard, with 20-inch wheels as an option. Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes measure 15.4 inches up front and 14.2 inches in back.

A leather interior is standard with a rear storage shelf.  Rear seats are optional. The steering wheel includes push-button start and a toggle switch that sets the transmission response, stability control intervention and settings for the optional adaptive suspension to one of three settings: Comfort, Sport and Stability/Traction Off.

Dual-zone climate control, a navigation system, aluminum accents and power-adjustable seats are standard.  Options include adaptive headlights and heated front seats.

The California has a naturally aspirated 4.3-liter V-8 that makes 453 hp at 7,750 rpm and 357 pounds-feet of torque at 5,000 rpm. The engine is placed just behind the front axle and drives the rear wheels through a 7-speed, dual-clutch automatic that can be shifted with steering-wheel paddles. No manual transmission is offered.  The California goes from 0-60 mph in less than 4 seconds, and does the quarter-mile in 12.2 seconds.

Dual front and side-impact airbags, traction control, electronic stability system and antilock brakes are standard.
