The Ferrari 250 GT California is a masterpiece of Italian automotive design, embodying both rarity and elegance. Introduced in 1957, it was crafted by renowned coachbuilder Carrozzeria Scaglietti. This high-performance sports car features a sleek convertible design, ideal for both road and track use. The California Spider was primarily aimed at the American market, offering a swept-back windscreen and minimal interior appointments. The Ferrari 250 GT California is powered by a 3.0-liter V12 engine, producing 240 horsepower at 7000 rpm. It boasts a four-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive layout. The model was produced in two main variants: the long-wheelbase (LWB) and the short-wheelbase (SWB), with the latter being more sporty and sophisticated. Only 106 examples were built between 1957 and 1963, making it highly sought after by collectors today.
