The 2012 Ferrari California is an extremely pioneering car whose attitude takes its stimulation from the spirit and emotion of one of the great Ferraris of the world. It has also flanks the 12-cylinder flagship 612 Scarlatti in the Grand Toured category. It is on hand exclusively as a adaptable with retractable folding hard top in either a two-seater version with a traditional rear bench or in the 2+ version which sees the bring up bench prepared with spaces for one to two passengers. In addition to its retractable hard top and the aforementioned original 2+ concept, the new Prancing Horse carat new-fangled direct injection V8 engine, a 7-speed gearbox with steering wheel-mounted F1-style paddles coupled with a new dual clutch, a new suspension system model. The front continues some of the themes hinted at on the flanks, harmoniously alternating concave and convex volumes. At the rear, the sides and the muscular tail section are both familiar too. As at the front, the single round LED taillights are inset directly along the edge of the boot. The California's vertically stacked twin tailpipes are an original flourish as is the boot which sweeps right down to the bumpers to improve functionality. The entry level model in Ferrari’s lineup, the California convertible, is unique in comparison to any model that’s come from Mirabella before it. The svelte looking Ferrari has the automaker’s first dual clutch automated manual transmission and is also its first front-mounted model powered by a V-8 engine. Drive is sent to the rear wheels via a brand new seven-speed dual clutch gearbox and is controlled with the same F1-Trac traction control system that debuted on the 599 GTB Giordano.
