Ferrari California



Ferrari California ranks 4 out of 7 Exotic sport car in 2010.This ranking is based on our analysis of 16 published reviews and test drives of the Ferrari California, and our analysis of reliability and safety data. Ferrari California is an exotic wonder that handles just as marvelously on the track as it does on long-distance pleasure cruises. Competitors may offer more power and sportier capabilities.


Ferrari California is praised for its powerful V8 engine and smooth-shifting seven-speed transmission.The California is equipped with a 4.3-liter V8 engine that produces 453 horsepower at 7,750 rpm and 358 pound-feet of torque at 5,000 rpm. It’s mated to an F1 dual clutch seven-gear transmission with both manual and automatic modes. Ferrari reports that the California has a top speed of 193 mph and can blast from 0 to 62 mph in less than four seconds.


California is elegant, comfortable interior. While its roomy cargo hold adds some practicality to this sporty grand tourer, its useless back seats don't. However, the rear seats can be replaced with an extra storage shelf.The California features a 2+ seating arrangement. In other words, its backseat is more for show than use. Compared to other exotic sport car, this isn’t surprising  as no competitor adequately seats more than two front passengers.


In addition to elegant trim and superior craftsmanship, the California's cabin also comes equipped with top-grade features -- including an easy-to-use infotainment system that features a 6.5-inch touch-screen and navigation system.With regards to cargo room, Ferrari’s California leads the class of exotic sport car. The trunk holds 12.7 cubic feet with the top up and 9.2 cubic feet with the top down. What's more, drivers can choose to replace the California's useless backseat with a storage bench. However, drivers who choose to keep the rear seat can increase trunk space -- the seat backs fold down.
