Ferrari California Coupe-Cabriolet: New Image Gallery with Top Up

Continuing the stream of information on the new California GT, Ferrari has released more details and photographs of its 2+ convertible, including pictures of the retractable hardtop closed. Needless to say, the California looks sensual enough either way. Ferrari also informed us that when the roof is up, the 4.3-liter V8-powered GT boasts a boot capacity of 360-litres while when its down, storage space is reduced to 260-litres. Moreover, for the first time on a Prancing Horse car, the boot and cabin communicate directly, allowing a choice of luggage configurations to be used. -Continued

The Italian carmaker also announced that President Luca di Montezemolo put the California through its paces over several laps at the Fiorano circuit. Here’s what he said:

“I am very satisfied indeed with the work that the women and men of Ferrari have done,” declared Luca di Montezemolo. “The California is an extraordinary car and I was delighted with the performance, comfort and driving pleasure it delivered. The California is, like all of our models, the epitome of cutting-edge innovation. Its gearbox, suspensions and chassis are the most advanced possible.”

“This is the first dual-purpose Spider/CoupĂ© with a retractable hard top that closes in just 14 seconds. Despite its extraordinary performance, the California 2+ is also exceptionally easy to drive and has a space behind the front seats that makes it supremely flexible in terms of usage.”
