The 2010 Ferrari California Base is a grand touring masterpiece that blends everyday usability with signature Ferrari performance and style. As the first front-engine V8 Ferrari and the first to feature a retractable hardtop, the California broke new ground for the brand delivering both exotic flair and surprising versatility.
Under the hood lies a naturally aspirated 4.3-liter V8 engine producing 460 horsepower and 357 lb-ft of torque. Mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, the California rockets from 0 to 60 mph in just under 4 seconds, delivering smooth, rapid gear changes and exhilarating acceleration. The sonorous Ferrari exhaust note adds to the drama, whether you're cruising the coast or carving up back roads.
While it carries the spirit of a purebred Ferrari, the California is designed to be more approachable than its stablemates. The retractable hardtop transforms the car from a sleek coupe to an open-air roadster in about 14 seconds, offering the best of both worlds. Its well-appointed interior features premium leather, intuitive controls, and ample space for a GT, making long drives both thrilling and comfortable.
Sophisticated yet unmistakably sporty, the 2010 California offers precise steering, adaptive suspension, and balanced handling ideal for spirited driving and grand touring alike. It's also equipped with modern conveniences like navigation, Bluetooth, and premium audio.
The 2010 Ferrari California Base is perfect for enthusiasts who want Ferrari performance with added comfort and versatility. It remains a compelling choice for those seeking a true Italian grand tourer with everyday usability.
