Ferrari's new 2017 California T is a gorgeous roadster that is arguably more accessible to the everyday Ferrari driver (is that a thing?) than the 488 GTB. It's still all Ferrari though, assures The Car Connection in a new review.
As a hardtop convertible, the California T's cabin merges the best of the roadster and coupe worlds, with a well-built, sturdy feel to the interior that hasn't always been typical of Ferrari. Passenger room is good up front, but the plus-two rear seats are best reserved for children or extra gear. There's a new seat design with more bolstering, and while we'll say the trunk is useful for a carefully packed weekend away, it's hardly spacious. The folding hardtop operates smoothly and quickly, opening and closing in about 15 seconds.
Power comes from a new 3.9-liter twin-turbocharged engine. In the California T, it puts out 553 horsepower and is the first turbocharged powertrain offered by Ferrari since the days of the F40. It's matched to a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transaxle. The T model should hit 60 mph in about 3.5 seconds.
