California Dreamin’, Ferrari Style
Ferraristi are set to get down on their knees and pray as the Prancing Horse has finally released pictures of their new California, The front mid-engined machine will debut (a French word) at the next Paris Auto Show. The +2 convertible features a folding hardtop and seven-speed dual clutch transmission. The horny Fornie’s 4.2-liter V8 engine will hurl the aluminum-bodied GT to 60 mph in less than four seconds. Carbon-ceramic brakes should retard said insanity at will. [ED: At least until the damn thing breaks.] The Kalifornia’s F1-Trac traction control system “has been further enhanced to suit the typical driving conditions expected for this new GT.” Valet parking stand? Climate-controlled garage? Maranello’s madmen are promising more details in advance of the show, ’cause they really need to build-up some hype for this new car in order to fill-up the order book before production. Not.
