The Ferrari California is a grand touring sports car with a 2+2 hardtop convertible configuration and was initially powered by a front-mid mounted naturally aspirated 4.3-litre V8 engine. The California was launched at the 2008 Paris Motor Show, the car represented a number of firsts for Ferrari; the first front engined Ferrari with a V8, multi-link rear suspension, dual clutch transmission and the first Ferrari with a folding metal roof. The California had a top speed of 193 mph and could accelerate from zero to 62 mph in under four seconds in what can only be described as Supercar performance. The California is built in a new production line adjacent to the existing factory at Maranello. The exterior design of the California is a blend of classic Ferrari lines and modern details. Its body is sleek and sculpted, with aerodynamic curves that enhance both style and performance. The retractable hardtop takes about 14 seconds to fold, transforming the California from a coupe to a convertible.

Originally registered on 23rd July 2012 this Ferrari is finished in Nero with matching Nero leather interior with Grigio Chiaro stitching. Described by the vendor as driving with no known faults, a California 2+2 offers flexible motoring. Hardtop driving when necessary, but as soon as the sun shines put the roof down and enjoy 'wind in your hair' motoring, the sound of the 4297cc V8 engine is evocative. Inside, the California is as luxurious as it is sporty. The cabin features high-quality leather Daytona style seats, full electric and memory seats, carbon-fibre steering wheel with LEDs and a driver-focused layout that emphasizes comfort and usability. Additional specification includes Scuderia Shields, 20” diamond turned alloy wheels and yellow brake calipers. Ferrari equipped the California with modern technology, including a premium infotainment system, a navigation unit, and a rear-view camera-essential for low-slung cars like this one. Supplied with a V5C registration document, together with a current MoT test certificate valid until 14th January 2025, the original service books, two keys, toolkit and jack.
