Ferrari GT California

It looks like the Cavallino striked again. The website http://www.ferrarigtcountdown.com/ still plans to have it revealed in a few days, but the following pics have leaked and AutoBlog tagged them as official.

Lots of references within this design, but also with brand new shapes. It's another vision of the neo-retro concept I guess. Engine will be a 430hp V8 with direct injection, first time for a Ferrari.

What do you think of it ?

PS : first seen on Une nouvelle Ferrari est née : Voici la GT California par Le blog auto: actualités automobile et sport automobile

It reminds me of a Maserati Grand Turismo, but I dislike this concept, there were and are a few cooler ferraris

Yeah i am not a fan of that concept either, just looks like a crappy limo version of the Fiorano.

its not bad, but really its not Ferrari material, it is much more of an alfa-romeo, I mean its not very supercarish looking, side profile is nice, front is ugly almsot, same with the rear

Doesn't look too supercarish to me either, more like compact sportscar like Opel GT

I'm lovin' this new design for the California. Certainly one of the nicer Ferrari Spiders since the 360. The more I'm looking at the pictures, the more it's tickling my fancy

go and die in a hole - testarossa was a box, and how can you not like the 360 modena, F430, or hell even the Enzo. Pffft

I'd have to agree with Catlin... I'm not really a Ferrari fan apart from the Testarossa, the Daytona Spider GTB/4 and the F50.

The raging bull all the way!!

it does look like a ferrari, i mean it maintains the signature ferrari grill and the curves remind me a bit of the 250 GTO but the first time i saw this car i thought they were remaking the Toyota MR2 (no offence to anyone who likes ferraris a lot and anyway i saw a thumbpic of it the first time)

ferrari dont really have a signature grill, theres plenty of ferrari's without it, so yeah like you said, your first impressions of it being a toyota mr2 proves my point that it doesnt look ferrari material, and more mid classed veicle instead of high end.

I just feel like argueing my point today
