Looks and sounds like something from Japan. Ferrari is heading the Porsche route, just a volume supercar maker. They upgraded their facilities for mass production over the last 5 years. 10 years ago Porsche was something special, now dime a dozen. Ferrari in certain areas also being seen more and more. Really sad direction. Fiat needs $$$ from their more profitable divisions to make up for the lackluster ones.

 

It is sad. But it's business I guess.

 

New California coming next summer!!

"Car & Driver says the next-generation model will have a retro-inspired design that is more cohesive and "decidedly easier on the eyes." It will reportedly be styled by Ferrari Centro Stile and borrow cues from the 250 GTO. The folding hardtop will carryover, but it will reportedly raise and lower much quicker than the current one."

"Power could be provided by a turbocharged V8 engine that is augmented by a kinetic energy recovery system (KERS). This could enable the model to have a combined output in excess of 600 hp (447 kW / 608 PS). Thanks to these impressive numbers, the car might accelerate from 0-60 mph in 3.5 seconds and hit a top speed of 200 mph (322 km/h)."

 

and not a moment too soon ...

 

sounds like a Turbo Diesel to me actually.
