Ferrari has made some of the worlds most gorgeous cars but let’s be honest their most gorgeous Ferrari Ever has to be the 458 Italia. They set a precedent with that car . Hence why everything they make is basically a different variation of it the sF90 , the gtb that shape that design all came from the 458 but also other car manufacturers were inspired by the 458 that car design shifted motor design . Hence why it’s an important car
California is a perfect name for such a wimp of a car with only 3 litres. That’s only 183.60 cubic inches. Zero to 60 in 8 seconds, a VW Bug could give you a run. The 275 GTS/4 is ten times better, and much faster with 4 Over head cams versus twin. I would never purchase anything with California attached to it, but perhaps a Daytona even though a slug.
I got to drive a replica one once that had a Colombo V12 engine...I don't know what the real deal feels like, but I felt like I was driving royalty in the knockoff.
As all Ferrari cars, extremely overrated. Greatest engine, nice gearbox. but the rest is just ??? All people see is the brand. If it were called let's say "Datsun 250 Corolla" nobody would even look back at it.
"You can have any colour as long as it's NOT black!" ... Enzo Ferrari (..should have said it) yeah, I get sick of Ferrari Red as well, but black just turns a car into a shapeless blob.
we used to work for a man that owned Sears Point raceway and he had a whole warehouse full of Ferraris at the track, but the one car he kept in his garage at home was a yellow GT California
more delicious content from Mr May -- thank you, Sir unlike so many of the Hollywood "types" who buy exotics just because they can, James Coburn really was a perfect match for this fabulous vehicle ... Mr Coburn just reeked "cool," overflowing with style and elegance ... sure it's dated ('67), but check out "In Like Flint" and see him in his prime, demonstrating "This is how you get out of s sticky wicket"
Missing the best parts, him chatting with Chris Evans about borrowing it, then threading the multimillion pound car through London. This is the boring part!
It’s a damned shame that somewhere along its lifetime the front and rear bumpers were removed, because this is one of the few cars where it looks so much better with them attached.
