Ferrari launched the California GT back in 2008 at the Paris Auto Show, but for the 2012 model year, the California will get some special treatment in the form of a big update. The model will be about 66 lbs lighter and will deliver an additional 30 HP. Both the exterior and interior will also be improved. The new 2012 Ferrari California will be powered by the same 4.3 liter V8 engine, but will get new software and improved machining of the internals to achieve the 30 HP boost. This increase will bring the output up to a total of 483 HP and 373 lb-ft of torque. And since it is also 66 lbs lighter, performance will get a bump as well. The revised California will make the sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 3.85 seconds (down from 4.0 seconds). Next to the technical improvements, the 2012 California will receive a few exterior and interior updates, including a bigger hard drive for the in-car entertainment system, 40 GB up from the current 30. The new California will go into production in January 2012, making a debut in late 2011 a necessity. UPDATE 04/13/2012: After making its world debut at the Geneva Motor Show earlier this year, the new 2012 California has been taken to Maranello where the car was tested by company drivers and the engineers that developed it.

15 comments: Ferrari California I love the technical improvements that they were planning for this Ferrari California, although it seems already very striking and satisfying, I think they should still enhance it more, most especially on its interior.
 This Ferrari California is very captivating with its simplicity and even with its sleek body paint. I also noticed that its engine is too powerful for a convertible car, which must be really fun to drive!
 The Ferrari California is absolutely great on its V8 engine. It could really give a better performance on it. I also noticed that the interior seat of it, is seems so relaxing and comfortable.
 The Ferrari California is absolutely a great-looking car on its aesthetic designs and for its other detailing even with its sleek bloody body paint. I noticed that its interior seams, can offer a relaxing and comfortable feature.
