California is a rather hallowed name in Ferrari parlance. It harks back to the legendary 250GT of the Fifties, and the 365 California that came in the following decade. In 2008, Ferrari added the California model as a separate entry in its V8 convertible line-up. Sporting a four-seat cabin and retractable hardtop, the California is a more relaxed, grand-touring option to the Maranello automaker’s hardcore sports cars. This 2013 Ferrari California comes to you from Washington with a light 31,800 miles, and is ready for action.
Styled by Pininfarina, the Ferrari California marked a number of firsts for Ferrari. Notably, it is the automaker’s first ever folding metal roof convertible. There are several more firsts that the California brought upon in the mechanicals department, that we shall discussion the Engine section. This particular 2013 Ferrari California wears a very un-Ferrari like black paintjob, which is great if you don’t want to drive a stereotypical red Ferrari. The exterior has been ceramic coated for added protection and the Ferrari badges have been blacked out. However, there’s still a splash of red in the brake calipers to remind you that Rosso Corsa (Racing Red) is intrinsic to Ferrari’s DNA. Venture aboard the black interior, and you are greeted with seating for four, including the luckiest of them all, the driver. However, the rear seats are more suited for children and smaller-built adults on shorter journeys. Front passengers get electrically adjustable seats, and there’s dual-zone climate control plus a Ferrari-branded touchscreen infotainment system. Moving on to the steering wheel, it features the engine start button, paddle shifters and the drive mode switch, known as the Manettino.
Let’s talk about the firsts that the California brought to Ferrari’s line-up under the skin. It’s the first Ferrari to pack a front-mounted V8, the first to feature a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox, the first to enjoy engine stop-start for better fuel economy, the first with direct gasoline injection, and the first to have multi-link rear suspension. That’s what makes this 2013 Ferrari California all the more special, and as for the engine, it’s the soulful F136 4.3L V8 that puts out 453hp at 7,750rpm and 358lb-ft at 5,000rpm. Drive goes to the rear wheels via the aforementioned gearbox. The performance figures are said to be a top speed of 193mph and zero to sixty in four seconds flat.
If you want a Ferrari, there’s a fine array of modern models to pick from. Let’s take, say, the past ten years. You’ve got the 488, Portofino, Roma, California, GTC4 Lusso, Superfast, etc. Today’s Prancing Horse is a 2016 Ferrari California T. The California is a 2+2 hardtop convertible built as a grand tourer. It was made between 2008 and 2017, making this 37,481-mile example from Weston one of the last to leave the gates of Ferrari’s famous Maranello factory. With its 3.9-liter twin-turbo V8, 20-inch Forged Diamond wheels and Daytona-style seats, this is a nice choice for those who want a Ferrari that’s a comfortable but fast cruiser, rather than an all-out racing machine. Because this car will get you places very quickly and thrill you to the maximum, but will do so in great comfort and luxury.
The Ferrari California T marked a major milestone in Ferrari’s modern evolution, becoming the brand’s first turbocharged road car since the iconic F40 and signaling Ferrari’s return to forced induction for the new era. Introduced to deliver improved efficiency and broader usability without sacrificing emotion, the California T successfully blended everyday drivability with unmistakable Ferrari character. As the final evolution of the California line and a key bridge to Ferrari’s current turbocharged V8 models, the California T holds lasting significance as a turning point in Ferrari engineering and design philosophy.
In 2015, Ferrari was finally backpedaling on its typical dislike for turbocharging. The California, its least expensive model, was the first to take the plunge, but it certainly wasn't the last. Before the California, Ferrari mounted a turbocharger on their F40, which became a legend on its own. Ferraris have always been one of the most common bedroom posters and dream vehicles. Owning any one of these beautiful creations from Maranello is always special. What you see here is a stunning example of the 2015 Ferrari California T, seamlessly blending grand touring refinement with everyday usability. With only 6,400 miles on the odometer and located in Temecula, California, this car stands as a near-pristine specimen.
