The 2010 Ferrari California is a striking hardtop convertible finished in Nero Daytona Black with a brown leather interior featuring diamond-stitched seats and door panels. Powered by a 4.3L V8 engine producing 453 horsepower, this rear-wheel-drive model pairs the engine with a 7-speed F1 dual-clutch automated manual transmission for precise performance. With just 11,904 miles, the car presents in exceptionally clean condition and includes Ferrari shields along with Scuderia shields.
Inside, the cabin is equipped with navigation, Bluetooth connectivity, power seats, a yellow tachometer, and heated seats. The steering wheel carries F1 paddle shifters and a Manettino switch offering Comfort, Sport, and CST-disabled modes, while the instrumentation includes a large rev counter with 3D display, TFT screen, tire-pressure monitor, and trip computer. Dual-zone climate control, rear defogger, and leather-wrapped surfaces complete the refined driving environment.
Exterior highlights include the power-retractable aluminum hardtop, integrated rear spoiler, bi-xenon and LED headlights with auto-leveling, and rear LED taillights. The car rides on custom 22-inch ADV.1 Trackspec wheels in brushed aluminum fitted with Pirelli P Zero Nero tires sized 255/30 ZR/21 front and 315/25 ZR/22 rear, complemented by yellow carbon-ceramic brake calipers. Additional equipment comprises rear parking sensors, a rear backup camera, and a K40 Electronics radar detector installed for both front and rear zones.

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.
