2016 Ferrari

Now available at Premier GT is this 2016 (16) Ferrari California T, finished in Bianco Avus with Nero DS two-tone bodywork and covering 22,915 miles from new.

The California T marked a significant moment for Maranello. Its 3.9 litre twin-turbo V8 was the first turbocharged V8 to appear in a road-going Ferrari since the F40, producing 560 bhp and 557 lb ft, with 0-62mph in 3.6 seconds and a top speed of 196 mph. Ferrari engineered the engine with variable boost management to preserve the linear, free-revving character the marque is known for. Paired with the retractable hardtop, it remains one of the most genuinely usable cars in the modern Ferrari canon, equally at home on a continental tour as a weekend drive.

The exterior specification is extensive. Bianco Avus paintwork is offset by a black painted roof and the Nero DS two-tone bodywork, with Scuderia Ferrari Shields on the wings and yellow brake callipers sitting behind 20" forged diamond rims. Advanced front lighting system headlights and inner and outer electrochromic mirrors complete the exterior.

Inside, the car has been comprehensively re-trimmed to a bespoke specification in grey leather and Alcantara, with Daytona style seats, Giallo interior stitching, Giallo coloured seat belts and the Cavallino stitched in Giallo into the headrests. A carbon fibre driver zone with integrated LEDs sits ahead of the driver alongside the yellow rev counter, with aluminium footrests for driver and passenger and coloured mats with logo adding to the detail. The seats are fully electric with a foldable rear backrest, and Magneride dual mode suspension underpins the whole thing.

Specification continues with Apple CarPlay, a high power Hi-Fi system, front and rear parking cameras, tyre pressure monitoring and a Navtrak anti-theft system.

The California T continues to find an audience among those seeking an open-top Ferrari with genuine everyday usability, and thoughtfully specified examples like this one are increasingly sought after.
