The 2016 Ferrari California T represents the evolution of Ferrari’s modern grand touring convertible. The original California debuted in 2008 as Ferrari’s first front-engine V8 convertible with a retractable hardtop. It was designed to attract drivers who wanted Ferrari performance with everyday comfort and usability.
In 2014, Ferrari introduced the California T, marking the return of turbocharged engines to the brand’s road cars after decades. The model improved performance, efficiency, and technology while maintaining the elegant grand touring character that made the California popular worldwide.
