FERRARI CALIFORNIA XX #24 – FERRARI CAVALCADE 2014 HQ

Here another video from the most exclusive Ferrari Gathering ever, the FERRARI CAVALCADE 2014, and it’s only one of over 50 videos I’ve recorded in the private checkpoint of the wonderful Grand Hotel Minareto in Siracusa, so be sure to not miss any of these watching the appropriate playlist I’ve created for.

This year at its third edition, the Cavalcade is a special event organized directly by Ferrari to give the possibility to its most important members to drive all the brand new Ferraris on the wonderful scenary of the italian roads. This Gran Turismo event is reserved to the most important owners from all over the world, and to take part at the Cavalcade you need to have 5 different Ferraris in your garage.

The Ferrari Cavalcade 2014 was held in the sunny Island of Sicily, an intense and breathtaking region of Southern Italy, climbing Etna, the biggest active Volcano in Europe, driving through history of Greeks and Romans, touching four Unesco World Sites, and having an experience on a local race track, surrounded by the typical flavors of this warm Island.
More than 60 of most imressive Ferraris crew, including the new ONE-OFF Ferrari F12 TRS, drived by the the Ferrari’s President Luca Cordero di Montezemolo, 15 Ferrari 458 Speciale and THREE different LaFerrari have partecipated at this 3rd edition, enjoying beautiful cities like Syracuse, Taorima, Noto, Caltagirone and Agrigento, in the center of the Greek Temples Valley.

In this video a stunning red Ferrari California with belgian driving licence plate, a special car with the same livery of the Ferrari 599XX Evo N°24 given by Ferrari to this owner when he bought it, takes part at the event giving me the possibility to film it in each detail like rims, engine, interior, cavallino logo.

The Ferrari California is a grand touring sports car produced by the Maranello’s Prancing Horse since 2008. The car is a two-door 2+2 with a retractable hard top which transforms the California from a coupé into a spider in a mere 14 seconds.
This wonderful supercar is powered by a 4,3 litre V8 engine with gasoline direct injection which develops 460 hp and a torque of 485 Nm, enough to push the California to 0-100 Km/h in only 3,9 seconds for a top speed of over 310 Km/h.
The Ferrari California inherits many technologies from its sisters Ferrari F430 and Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano like the “Manettino” for the drive settings and the F1 Launch Control, but it’s also equipped by many news which will be used on the future new Ferrari models. In fact, the California is:
– The first Ferrari featured with a 7-speed dual-clutch trasmission;
– The first Ferrari mounting a V8 front engine;
– The first Ferrari with a retractable metal roof;
– The first Ferrari with direct petrol injection.

At the 2012 Geneva Motor Show Ferrari presented an upgrade of the supercar, named Ferrari California 30 to recall the +30 hp and the -30 Kg of this restyling, that make the car reach the 100 Km/h in 3,8 seconds.
In 2013 was introduced a new version named Ferrari California 30 Handling Speciale (or California HS) with special rims and silver colored grilles and roof.
At the 2014 Geneva Motor Show was unveiled a new edition of California named Ferrari California T, where the “T” standing for Turbo. This updated Ferrari California is featured by an inedited V8 3.8 litre twin turbo engine, evolution of Maserati Quattroporte’s one, which can develops 560 hp (+80 hp of a normal California) and an incredible torque of 755 Nm (+50% of a normal California).
This engineering jewel allows the Ferrari California T to reach the 100 km/h in only 3,6 seconds, the same time of a Ferrari Enzo, for a top speed of 316 Km/h (+4 Km/h faster than the old model).
Thanks to its incredible design, inspired to past models like the Ferrari 250 Testarossa, by Pininfarina made the Ferrari California one of the best selling Ferraris ever with a daily production of 27 cars (6.000 per year) for a current balance of over 8000 pieces sold.

Complete walk around with each detail like interior, wheels, engine, logo and lights.
