SE cars now get a boot spoiler and central front armrest as standard. Also included is sat-nav, with a seven-inch pop-up colour screen on top of the dash.

Ferrari has lifted the lid even further on its all-new supercar, the
California. Following official pictures of the baby GT with its roof
down (Issue 1,013), the Italian firm has now released more showing the
modelň€™s electric hard-top in place ň€“ and in action.
As you can
see, itň€™s made up of two pieces ň€“ the roof itself and a separate
opening section that comprises the bootlid and most of the rear end.
According to Ferrari, the hood stows in only 14 seconds at the flick of
a switch. The California is also practical. Conceived as a more usable
alternative to the F430, it has luggage space behind the front seats,
and 360 litres of capacity roof-up, 260 roof-down.
The model
is smaller than the 599 GTB, but not exactly compact. Measuring 4.56m
by 1.9m, itň€™s nearly 300mm longer than a Lamborghini Gallardo and just
as wide. These pictures show the car in Azzurro California blue, the
colour used for the original carň€™s appearance at 1962ň€™s New York Motor
Show.
This version gets a 454bhp 4.3-litre V8 with a
seven-speed dual clutch gearbox, which is claimed to deliver 21.4mpg
combined and CO2 emissions of 310g/km. The 0-60mph sprint is dispatched
in four seconds.
The company also claims the Californiaň€™s body
develops 70kg of downforce at 125mph, while the technical highlights
include Launch Control, a system which manages rear wheel slip
electronically, resulting in maximum standing start acceleration.
According
to Ferrari, the newcomer has recently been put through its paces by
company president, Luca di Monte-zemolo, at the firmň€™s Fiorano test
track. He described it as ň€śsupremely flexible in terms of usageň€ť. The
model will go on sale towards the end of 2009, priced around ŇŁ130,000.
