With all that's happening in the wonderful world of Maranello these days, it's easy to get caught up in the excitement of Ferrari's->ke252 new fleet of supercars.

But don't overlook the baby of the family, the Ferrari California->ke3183, because it's still got some mighty-strong appeal to a lot of aftermarket companies, including Tunerworks Performance.

The word “sublime” is rarely used in the automotive world to describe a car's visceral appeal, but that word appears appropriate when it comes to the work Tunerworks Performance put in to the California. It's a comprehensive list really that really adds more pop to the look of the supercar while also giving it a more pronounced handling experience that customers will undoubtedly enjoy.

The most discernible difference Tunerworks gave to the California is the installation of a new carbon-fiber aero kit courtesy of Novitec. The hood has a more dramatic swoop and a larger hood scoop, providing a streamlined look that complements its stature as a Prancing Horse. Smoked OEM markers add a touch of exclusivity to the car, while the handling and performance improvements are taken care of by a host of other upgrades, including a new valved exhaust system, a new lowering suspension setup, and a new set of carbon-fiber and matte-black Novitec three-piece wheels wrapped in Pirelli tires.

Under its hood, the California retains its 4.3-liter V8 engine that produces over 480 horsepower at 7,500 rpm and 373 pounds-feet of torque, which is good enough to allow the car to hit 62 mph in less than four seconds with a top speed of about 193 mph.

The lack of any engine upgrades notwithstanding, Tunerworks Performance did a great job giving the California the kind of improved look that can give its new big brothers a run for their money.
