For 2009 comes the brand-new Ferrari California, a model that goes back to the 250 GT California from the late 1950s and early 1960s. Featuring a convertible hardtop and an optional 2+2 passenger seat configuration in place of additional storage, the newest Ferrari is more of a grand tourer than its sportier F430 sibling. The California will come equipped with Ferrari's first dual-clutch gearbox mated to Maranello's 4.3-liter V-8 placed in the front. Zero to 60 mph is expected to be accomplished in less than 4 seconds. Pricing should be near the $200,000 mark.The rest of the Ferrari lineup- F430, 430 Scuderia (new in 2008), 599 GTB Fiorano and the 612 Scaglietti- see no significant upgrades for the upcoming year.
