2013 Ferrari California Roadster on 2040-cars

A picture in The California's direct-injected 4.3-liter V8 now makes 490 horsepower - an increase of 37 ponies - thanks to revised engine mapping and an upgraded exhaust manifold. Torque also grows from 357 lb-ft to 372 lb-ft . This marvelous beauty of a car engine power continues to be transmitted to the wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. This gearbox boasts shifts as quick as the automaker's earlier single-clutch gearboxes but with a much higher degree of refinement.  Reigning in the momentum generated by the above-mentioned partners in crime are standard carbon ceramic brakes at all corners, which also keep the forged alloy wheels clean of brake dust.Inside, the California rewards owners with surprising attention to detail and a quality feel that hasn’t always been present in cars bedecked with the prancing horse badge. Front seats are firm but comfortable, while the rear 2+2 seats are best reserved for children, pets or cargo. Overall, the interior may come across as plain to those accustomed to more ornamentation in the cockpit, but we’d call it a timeless design that won’t look tacky in ten years.The real reason to buy a Ferrari lies beneath its hood, and the California is no exception to this rule. Its 4.3-liter V-8 gets a 30-horsepower bump in output for 2013, so it’s now rated at 490 hp and 373 pound-feet of torque. It’s also 30 kilograms (66 pounds) lighter than last year’s model, which cuts the 0-60 mph time down to 3.8 seconds, on the way top speed  of 193 mph.  As for transmission, the only choice available is a seven-speed, dual-clutch automatic.While no Ferrari can be panned as having sloppy handling, the California’s forte is not track days or autocross events, and the car is happiest when driven 10-percent or so below its (still substantial) limit. Those wanting sharper performance can opt for the new Handling Speciale package, which does help reduce body roll at the expense of ride comfort. Acceleration and braking potential are beyond reproach, and no sane owner will ever come close to probing the car’s limits on public roads . Dont miss your opportunity to get because cars like this were made for people who love quality and such passion behind the wheel who doesnt just look at as  car but a time piece collection. (SHIPPING FEE IS INCLUDED IN PRICE  WE WILL SHIP TO YOU )
