2012 Ferrari California: Weight reduction isn't usually half of a mid-cycle refresh, but latest California arrives sixty six pounds trimmer than the outgoing model. As a result of that increased power and reduced weight, the California now takes just 3.eight second to sprint from 0-sixty two an improvement of zero.2 seconds.
Interestingly, the California truly started life as a Maserati. It was developed under the codename M139 M for Maserati and was meant to complete Maserati's current lineup, giving the Italian Marque the Quattroporte sports sedan, the GranTurismo coupe and a hardtop convertible. After Ferrari's 2005 split from Maserati, the prancing horse automaker decided to stay the M139 program entirely for itself.
