New Ferrari Maserati of Alberta dealership celebrates Grand Opening |
|
|
|
 : The Ferrari California made its official North American debut at the Los Angeles show last Thursday after a series of special previews and its world debut at the Paris Show in October, where it received a hugely enthusiastic reception.
The first V8 in the history of Ferrari road-cars to be mid-front mounted, the Ferrari California is an exceptionally innovative car. Its philosophy takes its inspiration from the spirit and emotions of one of the great Ferraris of the past, the 1957 250 California, a superbly elegant open top car designed for the track, which has, over the years, come to symbolize not only superior sportiness and performance but also exclusivity, craftsmanship and faultless sophistication.
This new car joins Ferrari's 8-cylinder range which is made up of very high performance models. The Ferrari California, a car with the track in its DNA, is enormously innovative and it will be able to offer even to our most discerning clients breathtaking driving pleasure and fun behind the wheel, as well as extreme versatility of use and in-car comfort. It is available exclusively as a convertible with retractable folding hard top in either a two-seater version with a traditional rear bench or in the 2+ version which sees the rear bench equipped with seating for one to two passengers.
In line with Ferrari tradition, this model positively brims with innovative features. In addition to its retractable hard top and the aforementioned original 2+ concept, the new Prancing Horse car also offers: a new 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 (double wishbones at the front and multilink at the rear), the new evolved F1-Trac traction control system and Brembo brakes with CCM (carbon ceramic material) discs as standard (this latter feature is shared by the other models in the current range).
