    The bit in the tunnel was spot on.

    I love the F355 the best, but this is fantastic! I love his laugh at 5:24 when he goes through the tunnel. My father and I have done this is his F355, and it is really something amazing.

    @Shonenut213 the original ferrari california was actually designed to be sold in America only,but this one is a retro name and it's kinda awkward that they name it california but they sell it worldwide lol

    The California is the coolest Ferrari in the sense that it's not absurdly fast, but definitely fast enough and looks so cool for road touring and showing off.

    @d14d 12 років тому

    A near $120,000 price difference as the California starts around $195,000 and the 599 started around $275,000 (07 new) and $320,000 (12 final year)!

  • @coolerdude44
    @coolerdude44 15 років тому

    i used to badmouth the double clutch gearboxes and their transformation into ferreris. but having driven this car (in forza 3 haha) the gearbox seems to suit it well. on a track, it seems more usable than even the audi r8.

  • @Tippotipo
    @Tippotipo 15 років тому

    Yeah, it is a DSG, same technologies used in Bugatti Veyron. It looks like Ferrari was so impressed with the gearbox it was stated the company was ready to pay it. It won't be surprising DSG will be standard to all future Ferrari except those designed for race.

    Well actually...if you looks around my favorites for a while you'll see that there's at least one in the Netherlands already.
    And the USA also has a few I think. I know of at least one.

    My goodness. Now you're reaching all the way back to the 70's to distort point. Actually, the 2nd gen Trans Ams, Camaros, Mustangs, etc. of the "pony car" era were pretty good handling cars. They were designed to segway into the Trans Am road racing series. But I was referring to the clear factor of the Shelby Fords, Vipers, Corvettes, etc., that have quite the history of road and track performance (Le Mans and the world over).

    "The thing that distinguishes it from any other Ferrari ever built is the hardtop?" This Ferrari is distinguished by it's hardtop rather than the front mounted V8? Slight oversight, there, perhaps, not even mentioning that?
