Might as well not buy a Ferrari. It's the least desirable of all. IMO

Something tells me that the California target demographic will love it.

Agreed.

But more of an SL63/65 competitor.

I have driven many Ferrari California's.........don't be biased........the California is a wonderful car and does everything well. Sure it might not be as fast as a GT3 but the California is still an 11 second quarter mile car and the engine response and sports ar sound and overall package is awesome.

The California's are dropping big time in price and putting one in your stable would put a smile on any die hard biased car enthusiasts face.

One of my Porsche friends works at Ferrari of San Francisco and told me that when the exhaust valves open on the California twin turbo it sounds mean and with close to 600 hp it's a rocket. But the new revised California is a $250,000 plus rocket likely 280k with options.

That's 458 Italia coupe money .

Never understood the california concept, Its a front engine GT car with a hard top that is pretty much a maserati. Plus the interior in these cars are horrible, they share a NAV screen with a jeep/chrysler.

Much better looking car. Glad it drives better. You're not going to wow a GT3 audience by posting it here though. Don't judge till you drive it.

My thoughts exactly. It ruined one of my long term dreams seeing ferraris share parts with jeeps and minivans.
