This is the first Ferrari with a front V8 engine straight from Italy ,Maranello. Its designed by Pininfarina so no wonder where its beauty come from and its electrical folding metal roof .

This is the first Ferrari with a direct petrol injections --This is means more power --Are the crankshafts would be all right ???

Despite of a booming 453bhp there was an upgrade in 2012.
Reduced weight by 30KG and 22kw more power which comes a total of 483bhp thanks for the Handling Speciale package by other words HS. Just After 3 months Ferrari recalled the F136 Engine , crankshafts were machined incorrectly .Then it was released at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show

And Did You Know ?? - This was the most aerodynamic Ferrari ever made

until this one comes along

I prefer the California rather than F12
nice post

Didn't know that about the manual transmission Ferrari Cali's. Nice to learn something new in the petroworld

And only 3 of them. I can only just assume that those are more valuable now ,I prefer manual transmission.But fact that one of them were delivered to the UK

Thanks for comment @beesting

well done, i follow you!

Ferrari is well designed car body and the engines are
a forking nightmare :) i am italian and know what im
talking about Italy is all about Design but technically
they have a lot to catch up with the german manufacturer
but the germans already bought Lamborghini its
only a question of time till they might buy Ferrari
as well to make it a reliable car LOL

Nice Pictures good post SteemOn

Hehehehe like your meme 😉
Laborghini had financial difficulties as they not really making huge profit on their supercars , Ferrari is different in my opinion but what you have said its very true ,germans are a little bit ahead
I have seen the Ferrari Enzo Museum in Modena was unforgettable Italy is very pretty and I love Italian food
Thanks for comment 😉

thank you, your welcome @petrolheads

italian food AWESOME !!!

@petrolheads I really didn't know they built a manual for Ferrari California, I thought the last was F430! Great find! F12, I think it's my favourite of all modern Ferrari, in terms of looks, it just looks beautiful! and NA V12! The new 812 superfast, look a bit weird in my eyes.. esp the rear quad taillights Back Again?! Lolx!
