In a remarkable offering, the Ferrari Select Cars dealership in New Delhi has announced the sale of a 2016 Ferrari Certified Pre-Owned California T convertible. This exquisite vehicle, known for its blend of luxury and performance, is a sought-after model for car enthusiasts.
The California T, a grand tourer (Type 149M), represents an evolution from the original California model, boasting new sheet metal, a modernized body, a refreshed interior, and a redefined chassis. It’s powered by a turbocharged engine, a significant upgrade from its predecessor. The model, which debuted in 2014 for the 2015 model year, was a collaborative design effort by the Ferrari Styling Centre and Pininfarina, under the guidance of Flavio Manzoni. However, its production ceased in 2018, with the introduction of the Portofino, adding to the exclusivity of this model.
The car in question, draped in the stunning Rosso Corsa exterior, features a sophisticated Nero interior. With an odometer reading of just 2,120 km, it is nearly as good as new. The heart of this automotive marvel is its 3855 cc, 90° V8 engine, capable of direct fuel injection. It delivers a powerhouse performance of 560 HP at 7500 RPM, and an impressive torque of 755 Nm at 4750 rpm in 7th speed, paired with a dual-clutch F1 gearbox with 7 speeds plus reverse.
Equipped with optional exterior features like Rosso Corsa brake calipers, sports tailpipe tips, 20″ forged wheels in matte Grigio Corsa, and the iconic “Scuderia Ferrari” shields on the fenders, it stands out with its distinct style. The interior doesn’t lag behind in luxury either, offering colored safety belts, customer choice leather piping on seats, full-electric seats, and special stitching in a color of the buyer’s choice. Additional amenities include Apple CarPlay, a CD player, electrochromic exterior and interior rear-view mirrors, a rear parking camera, and a tyre temperature and pressure monitoring system.
While the dealership has not publicly disclosed the price, it is estimated to be around Rs. 3 crore, reflecting both its rarity and prestige. With its impressive top speed of 316 km/h and an average of 9 kmpl, this Ferrari California T is not just a car, but a testament to the pinnacle of automotive engineering and luxury.
