…The Ferrari California is here?

Ferrari California

Though it might look a little funky from the front, it’s all business from the back and sides.

Ferrari just announced the “hugely versatile, innovation-packed GT Maranello” they’re calling the Ferrari California. (Take that, other states!)

Featuring 8-cylinders of mid-front mounted Grand Tourer power, it’s exclusively a convertible with a folding hard top for when you’re ready to mess up the ‘do.

Specs?

0 – 100 km/h in less than 4.0 seconds, 7-speed dual clutch transmission, multilink rear suspension, F1-Trac traction control system, Brembo brakes, carbon-ceramic discs, etc. Basically, if you want it in a sports car, then it’s there.

To me, the front looks a little bubbly, and the wheels don’t do anything for me, but the back looks pretty good with single tail lights and vertical exhaust, and the side looks pretty good as well with classic proportions, so maybe this prancing horse will grow on me soon enough.

Look for it at Ferrari dealerships and country clubs near you.

12 Second Thriller

Mazda’s new MX-5 hard-top convertible can raise its top in only 12 seconds, which is a full 18 seconds faster than a girl who just signed her dignity away for 15 minutes of Girls Gone Wild fame. The new micro-site, 12 Second Thriller, showcases Mazda’s “world’s fastest retractable hardtop” with short video clips that involve the top saving lives form the likes of birds, ninjas, sharks and aliens. Plus, users can create their own trailer by choosing a genre and a character to star in their creation. Thrilling.
