The 2013 new Ferrari California looses weight and gets a 30hp hike

The new 2013 Ferrari California was unveiled at the ongoing 2012 Geneva Motor Show and the new California has been mildly updated with a drop in weight, a boost in power and a new handling package. Production has already commenced of the updated California with first deliveries scheduled for Europe.

The car’s 4.3-liter naturally-aspirated V-8 now makes 490 horsepower, up 30 hp from last year’s 460. Bump in power is thanks to a new exhaust manifold and remapped engine control software. A 66 pound reduction in weight is accomplished by an increased usage of aluminum. Coupled with the weight loss and increase in power, the new Ferrari California now hits 62 mph in 3.8 seconds, down from 3.9.

To give customers more choices, the California is now available with two-tone color schemes, three-layer paint technology and other personalization options. Don forget to checkout the photos of the new Ferrari California courtesy : egmCarTech.
