This car was tucked away in a corner of the paddock at the Gold Cup meeting at Oulton Park in August 2018.
This is a 2010 Ferrari California which has a retractable hard top and is the first front-engined Ferrari to have a V8 engine. It's a Ferrari F135 engine with a capacity of 4,297cc incorporating twin overhead camshafts and four valves per cylinder. The original Ferrari California was one of the 250 series of cars, the Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder that was produced between 1957 and 1963, in LWB then SWB form, and was designed to appeal to the North American market. A 365 California was produced between 1966 and 1967 with a 4,390cc engine based on the 330's 4 litre unit, but only 14 of this model were built. The most recent California is the one shown above which was produced from 2008 and updated to the Ferrari California 30 in 2012. In 2014 the Ferrari California T was introduced with a twin-turbo 3,855cc V8 engine.
On 25 May 2018 I showed photographs of a Ferrari California that I took at Silverstone in September 2017.
