Pics: Ferrari California

[kahmed79]

The Cali looks sweet from this angle. I saw this angle the first time I saw the pics on the net.

looks nice but it sounds much better than its looks. it doesn't has that hardcore appeal which is attached to most Ferrari's but still its good in style.

I'm sorry, but Ferrari makes some of the ugliest, unimpressive, most design flawed cars. It looks like they had a list of possible design cues and decided to slap them all on. Swish here, angle there. LED here, halogens there. Look a the rear, it looks just horrible. What were they thinking?

If the Chinese made something as atrocious as that (the rear) people would mock them. But since it's a Ferrari we say nothing.

Ferrari California is the First and only hard top convertible from Ferrari.

Its roof features are just super cool.

A lot of purpose built cars end up looking ugly. I guess you really have to drive a Ferrari to appreciate them. If you want looks then go for an Aston Martin but in terms of vehicle dynamics Ferrari ranks at the top. However, I will agree with you that the California doesn't have a very appealing design in pics. The rear end could have been a lot better. BTW...are you in the U.S?

Was the California designed by the same Japanese bloke who penned the Fiorano? The Fiorano (contrary to most other people) I found to be quite coherent in design and better-looking IMHO than the 550/575 that preceded it. I have to agree with anon on this, it does seem to be a bit cluttered unfortunately. In my view, Pininfarina should let Zagato make "shocking" cars, like the Alfa SZ/RZ.

Did you get to drive it though? You didn't write a drive report so I'm guessing it was just a photo session.

California's exterior is designed by Pinninfarina's new Design Chief Donato Coco; & The interior is Done by Bertone(Another Italian Auto-Design company). However; This Ferrari is a complete remake of the 69' Ferrari 250 GT California! The Italian legends can't live forever baray bhai; Marcello Gandini, Giorgetto Giugiaro & Leonardo Fioravanti]\m/..!!

Toofan is right, the Cali was designed by Donato Coco. The 599 was a Frank Stephenson design, he also designed the new Mini, and Fiat 500. Frank is over at McLaren now, working on their new road cars. I haven't driven the Cali yet but right now i'm interested in driving the Alpina B7, 997 GT2, and Lambo Superleggera.

I like it..

[tevion]

i noticed this thing very earlier when official images were launched ...i was sure that somewhat these reverse light wiil look good in person ...

I think that its beauty is in its extremely low ground clearence and long long bonnet ..(Correct me bro :))

I'm sorry I don't understand why this car ticks off Ferrari aficionados and other ppl alike. I think it looks absolutely gorgeous. Easily the most beautiful hardtop convertible ever!

The SL65 AMG Black series might be more aggressive with it scoops and widebody, but this is just a genuinely beautiful car.

Not a big fan of that C pillar, but its inevitable with a retractable hardtop.
