This california is a car filled with firsts for ferrari: the first front-engine v-8, the first use of direct injection, the first seven-speed transmission, the first true launch-control system, the first retractable hardtop, and the first stacked exhaust. But fear not, all these firsts have not changed the purity of ferrari; they’ve just expanded its range. This particular car has all up to date service, fresh oil change, carbon ceramic brakes, and a carbon fiber interior. The getrag dual-clutch seven-speed automated manual gearbox is nothing short of absolute perfection, worlds better than the old single-clutch f1 automated manual found in most current ferraris. The speed in which shifts are made has always been a bragging point for the italians, and the nanoseconds have slowly diminished over the years to the point where they are now basically immeasurable. In addition, the neck-snapping caused by the old f1 gearbox is gone. To make this a true ferrari california, the top had to come off. Instead of going with the conventional ragtop, ferrari opted for a retractable hardtop. The all-new chassis works amazingly well at maintaining the rigidity we’ve come to know and love in ferraris. Another interesting part of the drop top is its intelligence. Since the whole rear end moves out about a foot and a half when in motion, the sensor at the rear determines if there is anything it might hit while raising or lowering the top. The interior is a fantastic step up for ferrari as well. It’s not that other ferrari interiors have been bad, but this one is the best so far.
