Ferrari California T charges into South Africa

Ferrari California T charges into South Africa

Date: 2015-03-13

With a new turbocharged V8 engine, an increase in torque by 49% and a reduction of 15% in fuel consumption, the Ferrari California T epitomises elegance, sportiness, versatility and exclusivity: characteristics that have distinguished every California model since the 1950s.

The updated California T features a revised body design to match its new engine's boosted performance, with the holistic sports driving experience maintained at the exceptionally high level one expects from a Ferrari.

The California T boasts striking standards of innovation while retaining signature features such as the successful 2+2 concept, a refined cabin and, of course, the retractable hard top (RHT) which transforms it from a chic coupé into a sleekly sophisticated spider in a mere 14 seconds.

The model brims with a host of new solutions, not least of which is its 8-cylinder turbocharged engine. Maranello's engineers have created an entirely new power unit which delivers absolutely superb levels of performance, blistering pick-up and the most exhilarating soundtrack any turbo has ever yielded.

The human-machine interface encompasses the Ferrari steering wheel with integrated controls while the Turbo Performance Engineer (TPE) takes pride of place between the two air vents in the centre of the dash. The TPE display boasts a capacitive touch-sensitive surround to scroll through screens with information on making the most of the new engine's performance. The California T also features a new infotainment system with an extremely intuitive, high-resolution 6.5-inch screen featuring both touch-screen and conventional controls.
