The 2017 Ferrari California T is a front mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive grand touring convertible that combines everyday usability with Ferrari performance. It features a 3.9-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine, producing 553 horsepower and 755 Nm (557 lb-ft) of torque, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch F1 transmission. This allows for 0–100 km/h acceleration in just 3.6 seconds, with a top speed of 316 km/h. The "30" designation reflects a 30 kg weight reduction and 30 horsepower increase over the previous model. The car employs carbon-ceramic brakes, Magnetorheological suspension, and F1-Trac traction control for precise and responsive handling. Design features include a retractable hardtop roof that transforms the California T from coupe to convertible in 14 seconds. The interior is refined with hand-stitched leather, a Touchscreen infotainment system, and advanced driver aids. The 2017 California T offers an ideal balance of luxury, power, and daily drivability—true to Ferrari's grand touring philosophy
