The Ferrari brand name has always stood out as being among the top of exclusive luxury lifestyle sports cars and the California shows why they deserve this status. This GT convertible with its retractable hard top with a design is based on the 2+ concept and so provides superb flexibility in all driving conditions. When the team at Ferrari designed the California they chose a sculpted chassis with a long bonnet and a passenger area that was slightly weighted towards the rear end of the vehicle. The side of the car features a very dashing raked line that seems to lift the height of the handle on the door and traces the outline of the rear bumper which of course is typical Ferrari. The grille is also traditional and air intakes vents on the side and bonnet are both in style of the Ferrari California from 1957.

Anyone looking for an exclusive luxury lifestyle sports car with one of the very best brand names behind it may wish to consider the California. It provides an excellent driving experience for every occasion whether you are on a school run or cruising down the highway with the top down. For a convertible the boat space is surprising as it connects to the rear bench seat via the folding seat in the back. With the top folded and stored there is 240 liters of space left as opposed to the 340 with it up.

The styling of the car is muscular with flowing lines and proportions that are excellent with the roof in either position. Emphasis has been put on the design and function down to the smallest of details and as you might expect there is a sense of quality and superb craftsmanship. The craftsmanship can also be seen on the interior of the sports car thanks to some of the very best high quality materials. Sumptuous leather on the dashboard and seats ooze luxury and can be adjusted to suit the driver perfectly. The 6.5 inch touch screen display will suit gadget fans and offers intuitive controls which are very easy to use.

The objective of the Ferrari team was to create a sports car that was precise and with no limitations when it came to use. The car is a pleasure for sports driving but is equally at home for town trips and taking the kids to school in luxury. At 4.56 meters long it offers comfort for the driver and passenger and the 2+ configuration with large space behind the seats in the rear is excellent. On request clients can order a rear seating area with two seats complete with Isofix attachments for children. Alternatively a bench along with space for storing such as golf bags and for the first time ever a fold down rear seat back which allows the car to be used in different lifestyle situations as they arise.
