Ferrari California: A Dino for the 21st Century
People have been talking about a new “baby” Ferrari for the past two years. Small sports cars have been captured in a paparazzi-like fervor in Europe for months, but none of those shots could portray the beauty of the real thing. Today, Ferrari released the three pictures you see above and below of the new Ferrari California.
It’s a retractable hardtop coupe with a V-8 engine that’s capable of 0-60 times that are less than 4 seconds. We don’t have final horsepower numbers yet, but they will most likely be above 450 hp.
The design is simply amazing. Ferrari has regained its elegant edge in the supercar market with both the recent 599 GTB and now the California. How it made the new car seriously modern while still invoking the classic Dino is mind-blowing.
One big question with this smaller Ferrari will be the price. Many have called it an entry-level Ferarri, which would still mean prices in the $100,000-$200,000 range. We’re not sure at which end of the scale it will end up, but we’d guess the high end. Check below for two more photos.
