Ferrari California
Ferrari’s latest creation is everything but an entry-level model. The new California GT is a hardtop convertible, which are increasingly popular. On top of that, the car is as good looking with or without the top. The 460 horsepower produced by its 4.3-litre direct injection V8 enables this Italian beauty to perform more than honourably, with a one of the best sounds out there. Buyers have a choice between a six-speed manual and seven-speed sequential transmission.
