The Ferrari California T, introduced in 2014, marked a significant departure for Maranello. It was the first turbocharged Ferrari road car since the legendary F40, and the first front-engined V8 Ferrari to feature forced induction. This second-generation California, following the naturally aspirated original, brought a blend of increased power, improved efficiency, and a more refined driving experience, all while retaining its innovative retractable hardtop. Designed as a grand tourer capable of thrilling performance, the California T's 3.9-liter twin-turbo V8 engine delivered a potent 552 horsepower, transforming its character and solidifying its place as a sophisticated yet spirited entry into the Ferrari lineup. For enthusiasts seeking an even sharper edge, the optional Handling Speciale (HS) package, introduced later in the model's production, offered stiffer springs, a quicker steering rack, and recalibrated magnetorheological dampers, honing the car's dynamic capabilities without sacrificing its GT comfort. This 2017 Ferrari California T with the desirable Handling Speciale package embodies that enhanced performance. Showing 26,120 miles on its odometer, this convertible is powered by its potent 3.9-liter twin-turbo V8, paired with a seamless automatic transmission. The black leather interior, which the previous owner notes has held up remarkably well, provides a testament to Ferrari's craftsmanship and the care it has received. This is an opportunity to acquire a turbocharged Ferrari GT with the added focus of the Handling Speciale package.
