The Ferrari California, introduced in 2008 at the Paris Motor Show, was produced from 2009 to 2017, marking Ferrari's return to front-engine V8 grand tourers with a retractable hardtop convertible design. Approximately 8,000 units were built during its production run, making it relatively accessible compared to other Ferrari models, though still exclusive for collectors. It was succeeded by the Ferrari Portofino in 2017.
Equipped with a 4.3-liter V8 engine in its initial years (later upgraded to a 3.9-liter twin-turbo V8 in the California T variant from 2014), it delivered between 453 hp and 552 hp, achieving 0-60 mph in around 3.5-3.9 seconds depending on the model. A key feature for collectors is its status as Ferrari's first hardtop convertible and first dual-clutch transmission car, blending innovation with classic GT styling. While not as rare as limited-run Ferraris, the California holds steady value in the used market, with prices typically ranging from $80,000 to $150,000 based on condition and variant. The California T, with its turbocharged engine, is often seen as a more desirable option due to improved performance and fuel efficiency.
