The Ferrari California T attracts some undeserved criticism in several areas. It's true that this isn't the most agile Ferrari that Ferrari produces, but that's because its main purpose is to comfortably transport two people over long distances at high speeds. Given that it accelerates to 62 mph from a stop in only 3.6 seconds thanks to its twin-turbo V8, it most definitely has no issues with the latter.

Many people will find that the speed and the fact that it sounds and looks like a Ferrari is sufficient, but all of that comes at a cost. The California competes with performance open-tops like the Mercedes-AMG SL 63 and Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet thanks to its £150,000 price tag.

Ferrari will offer its Handling Speciale pack, which among other improvements stiffens the suspension and speeds up the transmission, for customers who desire greater agility. Although it functions, as the California T is better suited for cruising, we would do without it.
