The California T boasts classic Ferrari proportions: the shape of its flanks is inspired, in fact, by the 250 Testa Rossa’s famous pontoon-fender styling, with the front wing line stretching back towards the compact, muscular rear and bringing an aerodynamic sleekness and movement to the sides.
A COMPLETELY NEW ENGINE THAT, IN A WORLD FIRST, COMBINES THE INSTANTANEOUS RESPONSE TO COMMANDS, BLISTERING PERFORMANCE, IMPRESSIVE TORQUE AND SIGNATURE SOUND TYPICAL OF A CONVENTIONAL FERRARI POWER UNIT WITH THE FUEL EFFICIENCY OF A TURBO.
The 3855 V8 punches out 560 CV (145 CV/l, the best figure in its category) and maximum torque of 755 Nm in 7th gear. Despite delivering an extra 70 CV and a massive 49% more torque, fuel consumption has fallen by 15%. Range has increased by 20% in consequence.
Turbo lag has also been virtually eliminated by cutting overall masses and inertia, and the use of the F1-derived flat-plane crankshaft and innovative twin-scroll turbines.
The torque curve increases constantly across the rev range too, thanks to proprietary Variable Boost Management software that adjusts torque delivery to suit the gear engaged. Clever design and manufacturing techniques have also produced a classically powerful, exhilarating Ferrari soundtrack too.
