Ferrari California

Ferrari knows convertibles, from the iconic 365 GTB Daytona Spyder to the current drop-top F430 but it has never offered a retractable-hardtop convertible - until now.  The recipient of this design is the 2009 Ferrari California.

The California also boasts a front-mounted variant of Ferrari's familiar 4.3-litre V8, a seven-speed, automated dual-clutch manual transmission (another Ferrari first), ceramic-carbon brakes, adaptive dampers and an exquisitely crafted interior.

The 460-horsepower V8 features direct injection -- another Ferrari first -- for enhanced fuel economy. Ferrari projects a sub-4-second sprint to 60 mph.  

Inside, the California continues Ferrari's recent tradition of top-notch cabin design and quality.  

If it’s an exotic convertible you’re after, the Ferrari California is exceedingly hard to resist.
