2010 Ferrari California Road Test - AutoMiddleEast

2010-Ferrari-California-AutoMiddleEast.jpg

AutoMiddleEast have published a review of the 2010 Ferrari California supercar. 'The California gets its grunt from a 4.3-litre V8 engine that pushes out 450bhp through the rear wheels. That's a lot of power in anyone's book and makes for rapid, intoxicating progress with 100kph coming along in less than four seconds. The delivery isn't screaming as in, say, the F430; it's more mellow than that, but it's still a aural treat as the engine climbs to more than 8,000rpm. Power is available pretty much anywhere in the rev range, but with such a sonic treat waiting just under the right foot, we found ourselves keeping the engine singing.'

Ferrari 458 Italia First Drive - Auto Express

Auto Express have published a review of the Ferrari 458 Italia supercar. 'Slide down into the driver's seat and it's hard not to feel sorry for your passenger, as the beautifully crafted cabin is designed with everything angled towards the pilot. Even changing the volume on the stereo will require them to reach across the cabin. The driving position is perfect, and switches on either side of the wheel operate the functions displayed on corresponding screens flanking the central rev counter. The left-hand read-out shows the trip computer info and status of the chassis set-up. On the right is the screen for an entertainment system and optional sat-nav, which operates much like BMW's iDrive.'

Ferrari 458 Italia Test Drive - The Independent

A review of the Ferrari 458 Italia supercar has been posted over at The Independent. 'It looks fabulous, with a functional, unadorned purity that comes from the way aerodynamics dictate the shape. Those intriguing winglets in each front air-intake are anchored at their inner ends only, so they can deflect at speed to divert excess air away from the radiators and under the car to increase downforce. At maximum speed (202mph) there's around a third of a tonne of this. Some speed, that. Of minimal use to most of us, but somehow uplifting as an idea. More readily experienced is the extraordinary acceleration, a thrust of the sort that gives you no time to get your bearings and reconfigure your internal organs. The claim is under 3.4 seconds to 62mph, 10.4 seconds to twice that speed.'

Ferrari California - Car Advice

A review of the Ferrari California super car has been posted over at CarAdvice.com.au. 'While the Ferrari California is wildly impressive, I'd be remiss in my duties as a car reviewer if I didn't mention a few criticisms - despite the fact that they're surely irrelevant. The steering proved too light to the touch and the seats didn't offer sufficient side support during aggressive cornering. These are the only aspects of the car that did not encourage sporty driving, and even they weren't enough to dampen spirits too much. Having said all that, with more direct steering and racier seats, the California would be close to perfect. Some critics have offered that the car is not the prettiest design to emerge from Maranello, but that's an argument for another day.'
