Ferrari California Good Cars

The California represents a number of firsts for Ferrari:

* The first front engined Ferrari with a V8
* The first to feature a 7-speed dual clutch transmission
* The first with a folding metal roof
* The first with multi-link rear suspension
* The first with direct petrol injection.

According to some sources originally started as a concept for a new Maserati, the resulting expense to produce the car needed the Ferrari badge to justify the ideal return on the investment. The California represents a new, fourth model range for the company.

Novitec Rosso Slaps a Supercharger on the Ferrari California

Have you ever thought �My 460 horsepower Ferrari just isn�t quick enough. You know what it needs�over 600 hp. That�s the ticket.� If so, you�re in luck. Novitec Rosso, the gods of Ferrari tuning, just developed a supercharger kit for the new Ferrari California. It�s no simple power bump either � the 4.3-liter front-mounted V8 in the California jumps from a solid 460 hp � more than enough for most � to a whiplash-inducing 606 hp. Torque grows from 485 Nm to 603 Nm too, which means you�ll be burning through some serious rubber if you�re not careful.
