California Love by 2Pac kept running through my head as I drove the Sea to Sky Highway in Ferrari's retractable hardtop showcase called California.This front-engine Ferrari is the gateway into the "club," offering a lower price point and a more accessible daily driver compared with the exotic and more expensive mid-engine offerings from Maranello.
With a starting price of $239,000, this is still a very expensive car, but one that Ferrari has positioned as its volume seller.
This shape has been used before, but with all the Ferrari bits added on, this car demands attention.
THE COCKPIT
The interiors of Ferrari cars have baffled me for many years.
Case in point is the radio/navigation unit used in the California. The ride, steering, engine and light feel of the California do make this California Love.
The California is the kind of car that many high-end convertible owners would thoroughly enjoy.
If the owner of a Mercedes SL 63 AMG were to try this car they would notice how light and un-German the California performs. Power: 4.3-litre V8 with 460hp
Sticker price: $239,000
