Ferrari California T

Sporty, elegant and versatile

Ferrari California T, a GT car with an 8-cylinder turbo engine

The Ferrari California T certainly doesn't lack anything in the way of driving excitement, a GT capable of providing the highest levels of comfort on long journeys, but equally versatile in daily use. Unveiled to the public at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, this car embodies the features that have made Ferrari California models famous worldwide since they first appeared in the 1950s.

Equipped with a retractable hard top that allows you to switch from the coupé to the spider configuration (and vice versa) in just 14 seconds, the California T Ferrari provides maximum usability in all conditions.

The beating heart of the California T is its innovative 3,855 cm³ V8 Turbo engine: with a maximum power of 560 hp at 7,500 rpm, and a maximum torque of 755 Nm in seventh gear, the Ferrari California T has become the benchmark in its segment. It has a top speed of 316 km/h and does 0-100 km/h in 3.6 seconds.

California T, the characteristics of the Turbo Ferrari

In addition to high performance, in line with the Maranello tradition, the Ferrari V8 Turbo engine boasts lightning fast response times, continuous and increasing acceleration, and an original sound. The adoption of turbo technology also makes fuel consumption around 15% lower than the California model, despite the 70 hp power boost, and has reduced emissions to 250 gr/km on the combined cycle.

These exceptional results have been made possible by the technical skills acquired on tracks all around the world, translated into the adoption of solutions applied on Ferrari F1 single-seaters: reduction of inertia, flat crankshaft, twin-scroll turbines, as well as the use of Scuderia Ferrari production plants and methodologies.

Design and interior in pure Ferrari style

Sportiness and elegance. Designed by the Ferrari Style Centre in partnership with Pininfarina the personality of the Ferrari California Turbo is displayed in all its uniqueness.

The proportions of this sophisticated Ferrari Gran Turismo are typical of the company's front engine GT models, whose tapered lines combine maximum aerodynamic performance with a powerful aesthetic appeal. The car measures 4570 mm in length, 1910 in width and 1322 mm in height. The dry weight of 1625 kg is distributed 53% in the front and 47% in the rear of the vehicle.

The interior is marked by craftsmanship of undisputed quality and has been designed with maximum on-board ergonomics in mind. One example is the steering wheel with integrated controls and paddle, to ensure the best possible driving experience. The dashboard features the Turbo Performance Engineer, a practical tool for improving performance, along with a 6.5-inch touch monitor.

Fun and sporty driving

The Ferrari California T's handling shows off the dynamic behaviour that is the mark of a true Maranello sports car. The new steering box and mechanical set-up make for a steering system that responds more quickly to the driver's commands. The reduction of roll and pitch, courtesy of the Magnaride shock absorbers and box accelerometers, make the entire body more responsive, without sacrificing ride comfort.

F1-Trac traction control provides the California T Ferrari with unrivalled acceleration out of any kind of curve, while the adoption of the Brembo CCM3 braking system, integrated with the ESP 8.0 Premium, makes the car able to decelerate from 100 to 0 km/h in just 34 metres.

Complex control systems ensure constant driving pleasure in a Ferrari California T, not only in the most demanding situations, but also during a relaxing journey.
