Review Ferrari California 2013

Ferrari is the best car in our opinion, Updated 2013 Ferrari California is a car type of Robin Masters, That's not to say California is similar to the 308 - it's a million miles from it. But this is the kind of multi-bazillionare Ferrari will likely be stored in his Hawaiian hideaway. An absolute pussycat to trundling around Honolulu in comfort mode, flossing with the top down, Detroit hat proudly displayed. But also big-time players are fully capable of running from and chasing bad guys on the streets of Oahu volcanic when needed. And now California has more power, less weight, and better handling. In other words, this gives "the performance of the Ferrari in a comfortable way," a senior member of the Board of Enzo put it during our recent visit. If you have scanned the photos from 2013 California to update the exterior, you can stop now, because no one, save the color trim parts here and there, depending on the package and customer preferences. While it will not go down in history as the history of the Prancing Horse design work, it's not a bad horse, either.

Ferrari did not seem scared off steady parade of new customers open their fat wallets to buy a convertible hardtop GT (approximately 70 percent were first-timers to the brand) and wait six months or more to get one - not a long time in the Ferrari world. Approximately 8000 Californias have been sold to date, with 30 percent in the United States come. At a little over $ 200K a pop, state-of-the-art campus in Maranello production has been humming along to meet the demand for the most expensive Ferrari.
 

  exactly what will be the new Ferraristi get inducted with the 2013 model that does not come in a car before? Updated 4.3-liter V-8 to start, now rated at 483 hp and 372 lb-ft of torque (up 30 hp and 15 lb-ft), thanks in large part to a new piston and exhaust manifold design, along with a reprogrammed ECU. While a nice bump, it's not very updated. Ferrari officials forcefully make the point that this is about as strong as they would like to get this car. Believe us, it was a lot, and every car with the LAUNCH button on the center console have our immediate attention. The California will launch itself within 3.5 seconds to 60 mph and 11.9 second quarter at 117.4 mph - when we recorded in the previous car. Fun fact: It also can touch 194 mph.

  

After too short assignments through medieval hamlets and hills around the holy land where the Ferrari Maranello has danced for decades, we are here to tell you to get a release in Cali. Mash the gas and go until 8 great time in all 7 teeth, a flat-plane crank V-8 wild lament. Like the last red flashing lights on the F1-inspired trick wheels, I took a long, slim to activate up paddle dual clutch stunning Ferrari. Shifts are very short and you landed right in the heart of the power band as another key and load. Equally impressive is how effective and smooth tranny operate in low speed situations. "We wanted to create a very useful automatic which is very important for U.S. customers," said Ferrari test driver Raffaele De Simone. We found it very useful.

Fly toward a tight hairpin, pressing harder on the large-and-in-charge (15.4 inches front, 14.2 inches rear) carbon ceramic, it's time to downshift paddle beating. This song is just sweet, perfectly suited to blip the throttle. As I began to wind in the wheel, the new Handling Speciale package of California ($ 7,227 option) starts working its magic. Tighten and bend optimized ECU starts transmitting instructions angry at a rate 50 percent faster SCM Magnetorheological damper system to the car, ordered him to keep California from rolling under hard cornering (you can get a setup SCM separately for $ 5200). HS also features revised package, quicker steering and a stiffer set of springs around (15 percent front, 11 percent rear).
  

In addition to updated engine and handling, aluminum fabrication Ferrari team was busy mixing the new alloys, applying advanced techniques, and reduce the use of steel for automobile chassis updates, save some £ 66 off of the 3916-pound curb weight of 2010 cars we tested. It still has a distribution of 47/53 by weight, which is likely to move a percentage point or two towards the back of the peak down. Inside, California has all the style and panache we have come to expect from Italy - a small herd of cattle worth against the skin, wrap, infinitely adjustable seats, and many other upscale touches. Nav system could use an upgrade, but (something we bet Americans will appreciate). If you have a bank account more than Warren Buffett, you can visit the Ferrari design and pimp out your interior any way you want. Love the pattern of your gator shoes and want in the cabin? Yes, they can do it, within reason, of course. And for the first time, Ferrari's seven-year offer bundled services that include routine maintenance. In essence, California is a car in which Magnum and whiskers would feel like at home, impress the bad guys and hot chicks together - that is, if it's old crotchety bugger Higgins would never give him the key.
