Ferrari California Facelift: More Power, Handling Speciale Package

Ferrari has a big offensive on new and very exciting cars coming your way, starting with a new Enzo and a replacement for the 599 GTB Fiorano, and ending with a facelift for the entry level model, the California four-seater convertible.

Last month, we reported on this camouflaged Ferrari California testing both on the track and in road conditions. Now AutoCar shed some extra light on the modes brought about by the arrival of the facelift.

The car we saw was reportedly a prototype of the Handling Speciale Package, which will turn the leisurely attitude of the car into a more driver-focused machine. This will have stiffer springs and a quicker and more precise steering rack than is currently installed on the California.

Also, the 4.3-liter V8 will receive a power boost of about 30 horsepower, thanks to a revised manifold and an ECU remap.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
