About this car

The 2012 Ferrari California pairs a silver exterior with a matching silver interior and a 4.3L V8 engine paired to an automatic transmission. This rear-wheel-drive convertible carries 7,976 miles and features an aluminum body chassis along with a power-retractable aluminum hardtop. The specification includes launch control, a limited-slip differential, and Brembo ceramic disc brakes.

Front double-wishbone suspension and rear multi-link suspension work with front and rear stabilizer bars and speed-sensitive power rack-and-pinion steering. High-intensity projector-beam headlights incorporate washers, delay-off, and a dusk sensor, while rear LED brake lights, rear fog lamps, power heated mirrors, and rain-sensing intermittent wipers complete the exterior equipment. The power hardtop includes a glass rear window and a rear lip spoiler.

Inside, the power tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel carries the Manettino drive-mode selector with comfort, sport, and track settings. Dual-zone climate control, power windows with one-touch operation, remote power door locks, and a remote anti-theft alarm system are fitted, along with aluminum dashboard trim, an aluminum shift knob, front cupholders, and a front console with storage. Instrumentation displays tachometer, current gear, TFT screen, tire-pressure warning, outside temperature, and trip computer data.

About the Ferrari California

Production: 2008–2014
Est. units built: 12,460
Cylinders: 8
Powertrain: Combustion
Body: Convertible

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.
