Ferrari has begun its second innings in India by launching the new California T and has priced it at Rs 3.45 crore (ex-showroom). Launched in 2014, this successor to the naturally aspirated California Coupe is the first vehicle from the Ferrari, in more than 20 years, to be turbocharged.
The California T is powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.8-litre V8 engine that produces 552bhp and 755Nm of torque. Power goes to the rear-wheels via a seven-speed dual clutch automatic. This phenomenal output means it goes from 0-100kmph in 3.6 seconds with a top speed of 314kmph.
A lot of the technology developed by Ferrari’s F1 team has been put into this version of the California T. this includes a variable boost management system, F1-spec traction control system and magnetic damping which can be adjusted on-the-fly.
The California T, like its predecessor, gets a 2+2 seating arrangement and a cabin trimmed out in semi-aniline leather. Some of the luxury features include a 6.5-inch touchscreen infotainment system and a 12-speaker JBL surround sound system. However, one of the most exciting features of this car is that it has a retractable hardtop which can go up or down in just 14 seconds.
Ferrari’s line up in India is now being distributed exclusively by Navnit Motors, in Mumbai.
