EVERYTHING WORKS ON THIS BEAUTY! BELOW IS SOME MORE INFORMATION REGARDING THE 2010 CALIFORNIA.......... There have been front-engine sixes and 12s, but this is the first front-engine eight and with it Ferrari has managed to make the entry-level California a true supercar in every sense of the word. The direct injection helps improve mileage and decrease emissions but because the California is heavier than the F430 it shares its engine architecture with, the tuning is optimized to boost torque by 14 lb-ft at the expense of 29 horsepower, for a total of 454 hp and 357 lb-ft. In addition, the neck-snapping caused by the old F1 gearbox is gone. All you're left with is a constant acceleration accompanied by a sweet-sounding bark between shifts. The California has a true launch-control system. So how does it work? Turn the CST traction control off, foot on brake, launch button pressed, wait for the beep, and then mat the gas. When the revs hit around 3000 rpm, lift off the brake. All you need do now is just hang on and keep the car pointed straight. The California's new transmission, set up in launch mode, auto upshifts for you until you run out of gears. Instead of going with the conventional ragtop, Ferrari opted for a retractable hardtop. Usually when you make a car a convertible, you lose a lot of the structural integrity, but that's not the case with the California. The all-new chassis works amazingly well at maintaining the rigidity we've come to know and love in Ferraris. Another interesting part of the drop top is its intelligence.
