Ferrari have announced details of the new Ferrari California, set to be unveiled to the public in the Paris International Car Show in October this year. The latest GT to join the new generation of Ferraris such as the 599 GTB Fiorano and the F430 Scuderia, the California is also the Italian marque’s first retractable hardtop convertible.

In a departure from pervious models, the California features a mid-front mounted 4.3-liter V8 engine with direct fuel injection, pushing out 460 bhp. With that amount of power, the California sprints to 100 km/h from rest in less than four seconds, with a performance-boosting seven-speed dual-clutch transmission for that added driving pleasure.
