Overview
The 2012 Ferrari California Convertible makes for an excellent contender in the midsize convertible segment. With three trims on offer, the 2012 Ferrari California Convertible has a base MSRP of $17,380, competing directly with the Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder LP-560, the Audi R8 Spyder, and the Aston Martin DB9 Volante. Only a 4.3L V8 engine is offered, mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch automated manual transmission. Together, they produce 453 horsepower and 357 lb-ft of torque.

Ferrari offers the California Convertible in more than 52 stunning colors, with the Rosso Scuderia being a particular favorite of ours.
