Why is Ferrari California called California?
The “california” name pays tribute to the ferrari 250 gt california spyder from the late 1950s and early 1960s. That model became an icon of its era, representing open-air driving along the sun-soaked roads of the american west coast. Launched at the october 2008 paris motor show, the ferrari california represented a radical new design that incorporated a number of new concepts showcased for the first time in a production model: the first front-mounted v8 in a ferrari. The first ferrari with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Is owning a Ferrari a good investment?
A Ferrari Will Appreciate in Value When you buy a car you accept the fact that it will depreciate in value almost as soon as you take it on the road. However, the opposite is quite often true when it comes to a Ferrari, as many models will actually increase in value over time. Certain Ferrari models have actually started appreciating rather than depreciating. Low-mileage, well-optioned examples of the F430 and 458 models have begun climbing in value as enthusiasts recognize these as the last naturally aspirated V8 Ferraris.
