The Ferrari with a lot of firsts is finally getting its first major update since its launch in 2008. The Geneva Motor Show will see the official debut of the new version of the Ferrari California, production of which has already commenced, with a reduction of weight of 30 kg and an increase in power output as well.
More performance is thanks to the California’s GDI V8 which now delivers 490 PS with maximum torque of 505 Nm at 5,000 rpm, owing to new exhaust manifolds and engine mapping. The torque curve has also been modified and is higher across the engine’s generous rev range. Cutting-edge aluminium fabrication techniques and construction technologies have led to an overall reduction of 30 kg in the car’s weight without impinging in any way on its structural rigidity and performance.
These enhancements have improved the Ferrari’s California’s performance, reducing its 0-100 km/acceleration time to 3.8 seconds. This heightens its sporty feel without detracting from the mission and character of a car that has won universal acclaim for its performance and exceptional versatility resulting from its retractable hard top and 2+ seating.
For the more track focused, there is an optional Handling Speciale package has been developed which encompasses modifications to the suspension set-up that minimize body roll and make the car even more responsive to driver inputs. The Handling Speciale package includes Magnetorheological dampers controlled by an even faster ECU running patented Ferrari software. The package also features stiffer springs for more precise body control combined with a comfortable ride. Lastly, the California benefits from faster turn-in with smaller steering wheel angles thanks to a new steering box with a 10 per cent quicker steering ratio.
While the cars high-performance grand touring capabilities remain, the power increase and even more focused handling has made the California even more desirable than before.
