Ferrari California
White · Black interior · Gloss
The California was Ferrari built for use rather than occasion: a folding metal hardtop, small rear seats, and a V8 set behind the front axle for balance. White over a light cabin makes it look like a Riviera car that took a wrong turn into the desert. Roof up it is a coupe; roof down it is the reason you booked it.

What makes it special
- Retractable metal hardtop — a coupe and a convertible in one car
- Front-mid V8 layout, a first for a Ferrari road car
- Small rear seats, so it is not strictly a two-seat weekend
Worth knowing
The California was the first Ferrari with a front-mid-mounted V8 and the first with a folding metal hardtop — both firsts for the marque when it launched.
Your Arizona experience
A cool-morning drive out to Cave Creek with the roof stowed, back before midday when a white car earns its keep.
