Ferrari California for Sale

Why would you pick a Ferrari California for your next high-performance car?

Maybe you enjoy being the one of the people to experience a host of firsts from Ferrari.

The Ferrari California is one of the most innovative releases from the company in decades.

A few of the firsts you can only experience in the California are:

• First Ferrari with a mid-front mounted V8 engine.
• First to use the 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
• First Ferrari with the solid folding retractable metal roof.
• First with the multi-link rear suspension.
• First using Bosch’s direct petrol injection system.

Those five firsts add up to a new standard in performance, comfort, and ability in the Ferrari line.

The car is not designed to be the highest performance car of the Ferrari line-up, but one which maintains amazing performance standards while providing the driver and passengers with added comfort.

The Ferrari California is very reasonably priced, making it one of the best values in high performance cars today.

Taking a Closer Look at the New Features

The mid-front mounted V8 is perfectly located to maintain solid balance and handling of the car. It is a 4.3 Litre motor which produces over 460 Horsepower and 485 Newton metres of torque.

What makes these numbers amazing is the fact the car is naturally aspirated. You will not hear the whine of a turbo or supercharger coming from this engine, just the sound of raw natural power.

The engine is capable of this level of power due to the new Bosch direct petrol injection system and the superior implementation from the Ferrari engineers.

The horsepower per litre produced by the 4.3 Litre engine is one of the highest ever recorded for a naturally aspirated motor.
It is only rivaled by motors of similar size which are using turbochargers.

7-Gears of Performance

The 7-speed dual-clutch gets rid of one annoying problem found on many high-performance sports cars, the acceleration gap. You know exactly how it feels. You slam the car into first gear and race away.

You start shifting through the gears but always feel those few horrible spots through the shifts where the engines power is not being fully utilized.

Ferrari’s new 7-gear transmission gets rid of the problem completely. You will feel smooth power and acceleration as the car races through all 7 gears.

You will not experience that lull in the middle of acceleration which is all too familiar on many cars.
The dual-clutch system is essentially two gearboxes running in tandem allowing shifts to happen almost instantly.

The transmission can run in fully automatic mode giving you the freedom to focus on maneuvering, or you can switch into semi-manual mode where you take control of the shifts with the assist of the amazingly smooth transmission.

Either way you are going to enjoy feeling the full power of 460HP being smoothly transferred to the wheels speeding you down the road.

Smooth Out the Bumps without Sacrificing Handling

The next innovation in the Ferrari California for sale is the multi-link rear suspension. The average sports car of this power and performance is not designed to drive over slightly bumpy roads.

They require smooth pavement unless you are ready to take a sever pounding. The California gives you a completely new experience. The multi-link suspension absorbs the bumps in the road without sacrificing the rigidity of the suspension required for high performance driving.

The suspension also reduces vibration and road noise, when combined with the fact the car does not use a whining turbocharger leads to a much quieter and enjoyable ride.

Putting the Power on the Road

All of this power needs to hit the road in the right way. You will not be disappointed with Ferrari’s choice for the California. The standard configuration is 19” wheels equipped with 245/40 tires on the front and 285/40 tyres
on the rear.

You can optionally select to go with a 20” wheel. These wide low tyres will keep you firmly attached to the road on the most demanding roads or tracks.

To make sure your tyres are always working optimally the Ferrari California includes tyre pressure and temperature gauges as a standard feature.

This may seem a minor point, but keep in mind when you are racing down the road underinflated tyres can cause you to lose control.
It is a feature which should be present on every high-performance sports car.

Letting the Top Down For an Exciting Ride

The new folding solid retractable roof is another great addition. The Ferrari can cut through the air with the lowest drag coefficient recorded by a Ferrari when the roof is up, but then you still have the option to let that same air rip through your hair instead.

Imagine driving down your favorite twisting road feeling the powerful motor unwind and your hair rippling in the wind. When you spot an oncoming rain storm you just put the roof up and continue on your way enjoying your day.

Keep in mind when the top goes down you lose space in the boot.

The Interior of the Ferrari California

The interior of the car may be one it’s most dramatic features. The car is designed with a 2+ seating arrangement. You have the two standard front seats covered in high quality leather, just like you would expect.

The hidden surprise is behind you.

The California Ferrari has enough room behind the front seats for a pair of jump seats for children, room for small suitcases, or even room for our golf bag.

The rear seats can be folded down opening in to the Ferrari’s boot giving you added storage room and capability. The boot is a full 340 Litres of space when the top is up and 240 Litres when the top comes down.

As you might be starting to see, this used Ferrari California for sale is designed as a great first Ferrari or as an addition to your collection. The design allows you to drive the car in a wider variety of situations and carry additional luggage or people with ease.

If you have been trying to find a balance of a car with slightly more room, better balanced performance, and designed for daily use the Ferrari California is what you have been waiting for.
