A new Ferrari is always a cause for celebration, especially when it’s a front-engined Ferrari. So the piece I wrote a couple of weeks ago about the new Ferrari California due to go on sale, probably next year, caused a wave of emails.
Image of the New Ferrari California with hard top in place“They’ve shown it with the top down, because it’s going to look awful when the top’s up” was the theme of nearly every email and conversation after that piece. And I thought you all might have a point. There are lots of good-looking cars that really lose it when the top goes up. But we needn’t have worried. It looks stunning when the top is in place, as the picture here testifies. Now I agree that Rosso is the default colour for a Ferrari. But they are a bit common. So it’s nice to see this picture, just released, in something different. And in this case it’s a homage to the original California - Azzurro California blue.
Ferrari California in crazy colors, plus more official detail shots. Since Ferrari released the first official photos and details about its new California hard-top convertible last week, the car has no doubt caused an unhealthy amount of drool to collect in pools around the world. Of course, Ferrari debuted the car in the only color it could: Ferrari Red. But there are many other hues out there and we suspect Ferrari owners, at least those in the U.S. who have no shame, are not your typical fanboys and will repaint their California convertibles on day one of ownership to match their favorite shirt. The folks at pigmag.com apparently understand this behavior, and have created a series of images showing the 2009 Ferrari California in every unnatural tinge your mind could conjure. We like the gunmetal gray with the matte black wheels, but your 16-year-old daughter may lean toward the pink one with shiny chrome rims.
