Ferrari California
All Ferraris are christened with a three-digit name, right? Well, almost. Let’s not forget the California, which is sold worldwide and not just in the Golden State. This vehicle is Ferrari’s first coupe/cabriolet. Its 460-hp 4.3L V8 is front-mounted while its 7-speed dual-clutch transmission is attached to the rear for improved weight distribution. It’s worth noting that, even though the California costs upwards of $250,000, it still forces you to travel light!
