About this car
The 2010 Ferrari California presents a refined interpretation of grand touring performance in a front-engine V8 convertible. Finished in White over a Beige leather interior, this example has covered 17,088 miles and is powered by a 4.3L V8 engine paired with an automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. Its Pininfarina-designed bodywork and power-operated retractable hardtop allow seamless transition between coupe refinement and open-air excitement while preserving the immediate throttle response and high-revving character of the naturally aspirated V8.
Inside, the Beige leather cabin surrounds occupants with supportive leather bucket seats, a power convertible roof, and thoughtful details such as a rear seat center armrest and split folding rear seat. The layout combines everyday usability with authentic Ferrari character, highlighted by an overhead console, telescoping and tilt steering wheel, and comprehensive instrumentation including tachometer, trip computer, and outside temperature display.
Advanced features include a navigation system with AM/FM CD/MP3/DVD/USB/HDD capability and seven speakers, rain sensing wipers, keyless entry, and 19-inch 5-spoke silver painted alloy wheels. Ceramic disc brakes, electronic stability control, traction control, and integrated roll-over protection contribute to confident handling, while power-adjustable seats, automatic climate control, and heated power mirrors enhance comfort on longer journeys.

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.
