About the Ferrari California T
The California T marked a significant turning point for Ferrari, reintroducing turbocharging to the range for the first time since the F40. While it retained the practical retractable hardtop and 2+2 layout of its predecessor, the 'T' featured a sharper Pininfarina-styled exterior and a vastly improved interior with a new infotainment system. The 3.9-litre V8 utilised Variable Boost Management to mimic the linear power delivery of a naturally aspirated engine, delivering massive torque in higher gears while maintaining a high-revving character. It remains a popular entry point for collectors seeking a modern, usable Ferrari that balances daily comfort with genuine supercar performance.

Ferrari California T fun facts
- The California T was the first Ferrari to feature Apple CarPlay, debuting the technology at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show.
- Engineers used Variable Boost Management to limit torque in lower gears, ensuring the car felt like a naturally aspirated Ferrari rather than a typical turbo engine.
- Despite the addition of two turbochargers, the California T's engine sits lower in the chassis than the previous 4.3-litre unit, improving the centre of gravity.
