The largest market of punters with large wads of cash to blow on this thing live there. Being as it's meant to cost at least as much as a F430 it's not going to be cheap. Coupled with the fact that the handling is unlikely to be as sharp and focused as a F430 and it's really not all that pretty you are looking at selling it on badge alone. Hence California![]()
I was under the impression that this car was supposed to be the Porsche 911 Turbo killer. I.E. around a $140,000 at entry level price tag, higher production numbers, and less power. I had heard that it was going to be the new bottom end of the Ferrari line. The "California" name kind of makes me think that even more, I can't go 10 miles without seeing a 911 where I live, I hope this Ferrari doesn't make it that way. Probably won't though, I imagine the production numbers on this will still be way lower than Porsche's on the Turbo (if it is the new low end).
