Over 800 select Prancing Horse clients have been given the unique privilege of attending the world preview of Maranello's latest-born model, the California T. The unveiling ceremony took place over two emotion-charged evenings at the Casa Natale Enzo Ferrari Museum.

The Sat/Nav unit in the FF is directly from a Dodge Caravan, it looks identical. That tells you how much Ferrari care......haha.

Does it really. To be honest, Chrysler's new UConnect works well and is intuitive to use. Fiat would be smart to use that system in their brands.

Funny we're talking about Sat Navi. A Top Gear episode (world best driving road iirc) with a DB9 Volante, California and Gallardo Spyder, it was the California that took forever for Hamster to plug in an address. Jezza and Captain Slow got theirs relatively quickly, though Captain Slow ended up being the last to the destination lol!

As for the nav system, not only do I never use mine, I never use the Bose audio system. The engine and exhaust sounds are the only music I want to hear. (My wife sometimes complains so occasionally I let her connect her iPod.)

Retractable Hard Top = WIN (compared to soft-top convertibles or those with detachable roofs)
Question though:
I just read that even if it has lower horsepower, the point of concern is that this California T has MORE TORQUE than the Ferrari FF.
In a race or head-to-head battle, will a Ferrari FF be disadvantaged versus the California T?
Pros and cons? V8 Turbo vs NA V12? Strengths and weaknesses? Which car still has the upper hand?
