2012 Ferrari California Convertible

Summary

Provided by NADAguides.com

Carried over for 2012, the Ferrari California is a RWD, front-mid engine, grand touring hard-top convertible super car. The California is powered by a direct injected 4.3-liter V8 engine that produces 460 hp and 357 lb-ft of torque. Mating the engine with a 7-speed dual-clutch F1 transmission enables the California to achieve a 0-60 time less than 4 seconds and a top speed of 193 mph. Superior handling can be attributed to an advanced suspension consisting of double wishbone in the front and multilink in the back. The car oozes with versatility with an aluminum hard-top that can be opened or closed in under 14 seconds and 2+ configuration with room in the rear that can altered to make the seats child specific or be used for storage space. Safety features include airbags, stability control, traction control, tire pressure monitoring, and temperature monitoring system. The California is backed by a new 7-year maintenance program.

Model Review

The Ferrari California is meant to recall one of the all-time great Ferraris--the 250 GT California Spyder. But the similarities end with the name. The new California is the first retractable hardtop the company has ever offered and the entire package offers owners all the benefits of a nimble grand tourer combined with a top-down cruiser.

Original Warranty  help
Original Warranty
An original warranty is the warranty associated with a vehicle when it is brand new. In addition to the original warranty, select items, like tires, are typically covered by respective manufacturers. Also, an act of Federal law sometimes provides protection for certain components, like emissions equipment.
The original warranty is often broken down into multiple sections, including:
Basic Warranty:
Typically covers everything except for parts that wear out through normal use of the vehicle. Examples of non-covered items are brake pads, wiper blades and filters.
Drivetrain Warranty:
This warranty covers items the basic warranty does not protect. Wear and tear items such as hoses will not be covered, but key items like the engine, transmission, drive axles and driveshaft often will be.
Roadside Assistance:
The level of service differs greatly with this warranty, but many manufacturers offer a toll-free number that helps provide assistance in case you run out of gas, get a flat tire or lock your keys in the car.
Corrosion Warranty:
This warranty focuses on protecting you from holes caused by rust or corrosion in your vehicle's sheet metal.
Please check the owner's manual, visit a local dealership or look at the manufacturer's website to learn more about the specifics of the warranties that apply to a vehicle.
