Innovation at Ferrari

Ferrari has been steadily growing over the last 10 years. Ferrari California is a new model line that will push this further. What struck me is the innovation here:

  • This is Ferrari’s first ever V8-powered front-engined car with the first-ever retractable hard-top.
  • This car has the lightest and the fastest retractable hard-top in it’s category – it opens and closes in 15 seconds. It weighs less than the soft-top featured on any Ferrari ever created.
  • Boasts the lowest ever drag coefficient (0.32) for a Ferrari car.
  • First Ferrari to have direct-fuel injection and twin-clutch gear box.
  • Most fuel-efficient Ferrari (21.5 MPG), but still revs up to 8000 RPM and still matching the Torque/Engine capacity ratio of the previous generation BMW M3 CSL.
  • This is the most comfortable, best balanced, best manner Ferrari ever for everyday driving.

Wow..!

No wonder these cars are sold out until the end of 2010 even if you can shell out over $250,000.00..!
