FERRARI CALIFORNIA – Walkaround, start-up and racing 2013

Here’s another video from one of greatest Official Ferrari Meeting in the south Italy, now in its 5th edition. Organized by “ROSSO SCUDERIA CATANZARO”, the biggest Ferrari Club of Calabria located in the wonderful city of Catanzaro, the Calabria’s chief town situated on the Ionio Sea Cost. The event is named “IL FASCINO DELLE FERRARI” and is a Memorial dedicated to Luca Zerilli, a boy died for SMA in 2008, and involves over 30 teams annualy to raise funds to fight this terrible disease.
This year 40 Ferraris from Basilicata, Puglia, Campania, Sicily, Lazio and Calabria atteded to inaugurate also the AMATO KART CIRUIT, so be sure not to miss any of the videos I’ve uploaded in the appropriate playlist.

In this video a stunning black Ferrari California with italian licence plate and California 30 chrome details takes part at the event giving me the possibility to film it in each detail like rims, engine, interior, cavallino logo and to record its noisy start-up and its lovely sound while racing on the AMATO KART TRACK.

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, driving, LOUD starting-up and really noisy exhaust rev sound while the car races on track.
