California

2008-2017

The California was Ferrari's more accessible grand tourer, combining a front-mounted V8 with a retractable hardtop and small rear seating area. It introduced several firsts for a Ferrari road car, including direct fuel injection and a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, and was later upgraded into the more powerful California 30.

California 30

The California 30 was a lighter and more powerful evolution of the original California rather than a completely new generation. Its name refers to its increase in 30hp and its 30kg weight reduction, improving acceleration and handling while retaining the retractable hardtop and everyday-focused GT character.

California T

The California T replaced the naturally-aspirated California 30 and original California and marked Ferrari's return to turbocharged road cars after decades away from them. It delivers considerably more power and torque, with stronger performance while retaining the retractable hardtop, 2+2 seating, and everyday-focused grand-touring character for the California family.
