The California T is Ferrari's arrival to constrained acceptance, yet where the last turbo Ferrari was the savage F40, the T is far more agreeable. It's the gentlest in the Ferrari range, intended for every day straightforwardness and use—it even has a cupholder. Controlled by a 552-hp 3.9-liter V-8 mated to a seven-speed double grasp auto, the T is bounty brisk and lithe, however not as remunerating as a 488. The collapsing top tucks into the top portion of the storage compartment; while in fact the T is a 2+2, the back is more qualified for baggage.
Including "unique" in Italian to the name of an auto invokes a wide range of motoring legend and regularly adds a group of zeros to its possible sale esteem as a collectible. As though every Ferrari weren't speciale, the organization has stuck the mark on a long and sublime line of autos, from the 1962 250GT SWB Berlinetta Speciale (the stand out sold a year ago for $16.5 million) to the late 458 Speciale. Each Speciale is, er, unique in its own particular manner, despite the fact that Ferrari is not above utilizing the term on fairly less-aggressive undertakings. The new California T Handling Speciale, for occasion, is essentially a Cal T with a games suspension. BMW folks may consider it what might as well be called a M Sport adaptation while those with a bowed toward American iron may attract parallels to a Chevy Impala SS.
The primary gen California (2009–2014) added the bundle in 2012 to hone up both the execution and picture of Ferrari's entrance level roadster. Which, not to put too fine a point on it, experienced somewhat of a teddy-bear notoriety. Ferrari says the bundle in the long run discovered its direction onto 20 percent of Californias and was useful for drawing execution minded purchasers out of less-costly yet harder-center autos, for example, the Porsche 911 and different Mercedes-AMG Black Series models. The California is a pathway into the Ferrari brand, with half of them sold to clients who are new to the marque.
The Handling Speciale now comes back to the California T, which was restyled for 2015 and re-furnished with another 552-hp 3.9-liter twin-turbo V-8, useful for crushing zero to 60 mph in 3.3 seconds. The new California T is an awesome change—better looking, more rich, speedier, and usable as a day by day driver. The HS bundle is only a mellow conditioning. For $8120, chump change in Ferrari-land, it turns up the suspension firmness a tick or two, hurries the shifts marginally, includes a couple styling changes, and opens up the fumes to convey more solid if not more power.
This is standard execution bundle stuff, done by each auto organization to widen request without using up every last cent, either from an expense or value point of view. The spring rates rise a negligible 16 percent in front and 19 percent in back, with an amended tune to the MagneRide variable dampers to influence the secured equipment. What's more, a modified gearbox map cuts the upshift time by 30 percent and the downshift time by 40 percent, while the F1-Trac footing control's Sport mode additionally is kneaded for all the more burrowing while leaving a corner and better power conveyance over unpleasant asphalt.
In back, the standard suppressors are supplanted with straight-through funnels appended to a Helmholtz resonator, an acoustical box that decreases undesirable clamor while molding the active symphonious frequencies. The impact is a more keen thunder, a normal of three decibels louder over the rev range. Inside, there's a dash plaque, while on the outside the grille and back lower valence are rendered in accent-shading dark to give the auto a more intentional appearance.
