Ferrari California T Supercars Review

Ferrari California T

Overview: The California T is Ferrari’s return to forced induction. The last turbo Ferrari was the beastly F40, but the T is far tamer. It’s the softest in the Ferrari range, designed for daily ease and use—it even has a cupholder. Powered by a 552-hp, 3.9-liter V-8 mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch auto, the T is plenty quick and agile, though not as rewarding as a 458. The folding top tucks into the top half of the trunk, and while technically the T is a 2+2, the rear is better suited for luggage.
