This is the best California we’ve ever seen. The spec is perfect ($242K MSRP), it’s in pristine condition, and has FULL PPF with an ion ceramic coating on top to give it an incredible gloss. It includes the original window sticker, car cover, and charger.
Ferrari made headlines when it publicly debuted the California at the 2008 Paris Motor Show. While its name may conjure up images of classic Ferrari roadsters to a particular generation of automotive enthusiasts, the latest California is a thoroughly modern grand touring sports car. The introduction of Type 149, as it is known internally, brings several firsts to the Italian sports car maker. As if being the brand's first retractable hardtop convertible wasn't significant enough, it boasts several mechanical firsts, including a V-8 engine mounted ahead of the cabin, a Getrag 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, a multi-link rear suspension, and the use of direct injection.
Sold new at Ferrari of Silicon Valley in Redwood City, California, this 2012 California spent its life on the West Coast until late 2018. A highly optioned example finished in Corsa Red over Beige, the original window sticker shows an original MSRP of $242,168. The dearest among the $46,328 worth of options includes electric seats, Magneride dual-mode suspension, carbon fiber steering wheel with LED lights, and Daytona-style seats, front, and rear. Other options highlighted include rear carbon molding, red brake calipers, front and rear parking sensors, and the all-important "Scuderia Ferrari" shields.
Sitting under the long hood is a 32-valve DOHC 4.3-liter V-8, quite similar to the one in the F430. Among the changes to the engine when fitted in the California include the direct injection mentioned previously and a slightly lower but still impressive 8000 RPM redline. Rated at 453 horsepower and 358 lb-ft of torque from the factory, Car and Driver magazine recorded a 0-60 MPH run of just 3.9 seconds for the California. This impressive figure makes the grand touring sports car as quick as the F430, and the California can thank the quick-shifting dual-clutch transmission for that.
Offered by Auto Rossa Auto Sales, this 2012 California is in exceptional condition. The interior doesn't suffer from any dash shrinkage or sticky buttons that is sometimes common among these vehicles. Extras include the previously mentioned window sticker and California-specific car cover. At request, a clean CarFax history report showing two owners with no accident or damage history can be provided.
