The Ferrari California, first unveiled in 2008, represented a bold new direction for Maranello. It was Ferrari’s first front-mid engined V8, its first model with a folding metal hardtop, its first with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, and the first to feature direct fuel injection. Designed to offer a more versatile and comfortable grand touring experience without sacrificing the marque's legendary performance, the California was named in homage to the iconic 250 GT California Spyder of the late 1950s. It quickly became a sales success, broadening Ferrari's appeal and introducing new buyers to the brand, while still delivering the visceral driving experience expected of a Prancing Horse. This 2012 Ferrari California, an exceptionally clean example with just 11,852 miles on the odometer, is presented in the quintessential Rosso Corsa, paired with a sophisticated Tan leather interior. Under the hood lies the potent 4.3L naturally aspirated V8 engine, a masterpiece of Italian engineering. What makes this particular California truly stand out is its incredibly rare manual transmission, a feature that transforms the driving experience into something uniquely engaging and increasingly sought after in modern Ferraris. This combination of low mileage, classic colorway, and an anachronistic manual gearbox makes this a truly special offering. This is a chance to acquire a unique blend of Ferrari heritage and modern usability, enhanced by a truly exceptional specification.
