A week in advance of their website countdown, Ferrari released photos of the upcoming California spider 2+2 GT. As a vehicle which can either be seen as a scaled-up F430 or scaled-down 612 Scaglietti, the Italian carmaker seems poised to launch a shot into Porsche's Turbo Cab niche. The new grand tourer is Ferrari's first with a front/mid engine V8.DOWNLOAD FREE DESKTOP WALLPAPER
Boasting an updated version of the 4.3 liter in the F430with direct injection, a twin-clutch, seven-speed transmission, and 454 horsepower, the newest prancing horse puts the proverbial cherry on top with a retractable hardtop.
The official Ferrari press release (download here) boasts projected acceleration to 60mph in less than four seconds. The new model is filled with a host of technical goodies, including F1-trac traction control from the 599 Fiorano. With the new model, Ferrari seems poised to carve a larger piece of the sports car pie for itself, as it adds new models, as well as several new dealership. Such growth may mean that Ferrari will lose some of its exclusivity, but more Ferraris from more places are a win-win for the sports car buyer. MORE PHOTOS HERE
