Penned by Pininfarina, the Ferrari California boasts a powerful, muscular profile punctuated by air intakes reminiscent of those found on the 250 GT California, from which it takes its name. Its retractable hardtop opens and stows away at the touch of a button, combining the performance of a berlinetta with the versatility of a convertible. As the first Ferrari production road car to feature a front-mounted V8, the California pairs its 4,297-cc engine with a seven-speed automatic transmission, delivering 460 PS and a top speed of 310 km/h.

Delivered new in Switzerland on 10 June 2011 through Niki Hasler AG, the official Ferrari dealer in Basel, this example is finished in the particularly exceptional Verde Goodwood over a Tan leather interior. Accompanied by its factory documentation, including its stamped service book, the car benefits from a consistent, well-documented maintenance history throughout the years. Servicing was carried out by its original supplying dealer until 2017, by which time the odometer showed near 30,000 km. Subsequent maintenance was entrusted to Rosso Monza, official Ferrari service center in Italy, followed more recently by Racing Car SA in Grancia at 66,172 km.

Combining a consistent maintenance history with an appealing specification and the seldom-seen Verde Goodwood paint, this Ferrari California is equally suited to spirited driving and grand touring. Offering a level of versatility rarely found in a sports convertible of this caliber, with generous luggage capacity and a pass-through to the cabin, it is as well suited to a relaxed weekend on the golf course as to a ski escape.
