When originally unveiled in 2008, the California was powered by a front-mid mounted, rear-wheel drive, naturally aspirated 4.3-litre V8. In 2012 a lighter, slightly more powerful variant, the California 30 was introduced.

The car revived the name used on the late 1950s Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder and the 1960s 365 California. The modern California was originally positioned to introduce new clients to the brand, and brought with it many new design innovations from Ferrari.

The California represented a radical new design by Pininfarina, the car’s grand touring personality was emphasised with a slightly higher ride height compared to its mid-engined siblings.

The chassis was designed and manufactured by Ferrari division Carrozzeria Scaglietti. Overall, it is considered a landmark car for Ferrari, given it represents a number of concepts being used for the first time in their road cars:

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

The California is equipped with an exclusive Ferrari-designed F1-Trac system. The system, originally introduced on the 599 GTB Fiorano, was updated for the California model. The variable power distribution to the rear wheels allows greater stability and performance when turning. The result is an average increase of 20% in acceleration when exiting corners.

On 15 February 2012, Ferrari announced the California 30, an updated model that was lighter and more powerful. While the Pininfarina design remained unchanged, the improvements included reducing body weight by 30 kg and increasing power output by 30 hp (hence the monica ”30”). This particular example of the California 30 is very well presented in its Nero with Giallo accents, offering a contemporary colour scheme that still looks fresh and modern today. On a personal note, the team here at PaddlUp have agreed this examples specification - especially the upgraded wheel choice - particularly suits the California and offers outstanding value in the brand.
