Ferrari California 4.3 V8 - Timeless Italian elegance in as-new condition

Since 1947, Ferrari has been synonymous with passion, performance and exclusivity. Founded by Enzo Ferrari in Maranello, the marque grew into a global icon, both on the circuit and on the open road. Every model that leaves the factory carries the heritage of decades of Formula 1 triumphs, Le Mans victories and an unrivalled focus on the driving experience.
The Ferrari California marked an important new chapter in the brand's history in 2008. It was the first Ferrari with a fully electric hardtop, seamlessly combining open-top driving with coupé comfort. The California also introduced a front-mounted V8 engine with a transaxle layout, delivering perfect weight distribution and a surprisingly practical Ferrari, without any compromise on sportiness.
This version from 03/2009 is fitted with the naturally aspirated 4.3 litre V8, good for an impressive 460 bhp. That propels the California from 0 to 100 km/h in around 4 seconds and on to a top speed of well over 310 km/h. The characteristic Ferrari soundtrack, combined with the elegant design and everyday usability, makes the California one of the most beloved Gran Turismo models to come out of Maranello.

Design, presence and experience

The Ferrari California is renowned for its flowing lines, long bonnet and compact rear. In this stylish Grigio Silverstone colour scheme, the timeless design comes into its own perfectly. The exterior exudes class and sportiness, while the interior in black leather offers a luxurious and understated ambience. The combination of premium materials, craftsmanship and ergonomics turns every drive into a special occasion.
Thanks to the automatic transmission, the car shifts with lightning speed and smoothness, allowing for both relaxed cruising and spirited driving. Whether you opt for a leisurely run along the seafront or a dynamic blast down winding roads, the Ferrari California always strikes a perfect balance between comfort and performance.

Condition and maintenance

This Ferrari California is demonstrably in as-new condition. With just 62,738 km on the clock and a full dealer service history, this is an exceptionally fine example. What makes it particularly special is that this car has no "sticky buttons", a well-known issue on Ferraris from this era. The car is in beautiful original condition, both mechanically and cosmetically.
It was first registered in March 2009 in Germany, which usually points to a careful maintenance history and considerate ownership. Every detail breathes quality: from the tightly fitting body panels to the fresh, undamaged interior. This is a Ferrari that has been cherished and stands ready for a new enthusiast.

Some dreams only become within reach once you stop waiting.
