Preview! New BMW M3 / 3 Series Coupe
Now we see is another piece of the upcoming 2014 BMW M3 renderings, the car will be followed the next generation 3 Series 2012 models listed on the pace of emergence. BMW's M division history since 1972, but it is not the first generation M3 E21 generation 3 Series from there, until 1986 when it introduced the first generation of the BMW M3 sports car, codenamed E30. Earlier this year we reported, the current version of codename E90/E92 BMW M3 will be the last of using a naturally aspirated engine of the M models. If recent rumors are true, then, the BMW Group will be granted use of the N55 turbocharged inline 6-cylinder engine to drive the 3 series, but now this engine's turbocharger still not the final number to be confirmed.
We now see is the author of this renderings from the website of Dan Busi PS-Garage.com all posts, but the inspiration is drawn from the previous spy photos. The two groups before the spy photos captured are still very early test products, from the end of 2014 there are still on sale for a long time, so the government can have a lot of room for change. M3, like cars with wider baffle, front bumper has a larger part of the inlet. Of course, compared to the normal version, larger brakes and a square inlet M series is also consistent flag is set. The new Z4, 5 series, 7 series can be seen the trend, by the impact of new design ideas, a new generation 3 Series body size will be larger, M3 as well. However, there have been rumors before the 3 Series GT models, but is not expected to hang up the M logo. This is easy to understand: since four cars have been removed, the significance of the BMW GT M there will be no. You can see renderings of the vehicle above the lower ground clearance, larger wheels, and equipped with a more aggressive rear spoiler sense. Other equipment include the M Series of square exhaust pipes, side skirts, spoiler above the trunk lid, perforated front bezel and carbon fiber roof, and so on.
The BMW M3 competitor can be said more and more, more and more strong. In addition to rival Mercedes-Benz C-class AMG version, as well as recent Cadillac CTS-V Coupe and the Audi RS5. CTS-V's V8 engine power is very strong, the maximum output to 408 kilowatts (equivalent to 556 hp), 100 km speed 3.9 seconds, M3 only advantage is cheaper than his $ 5,000 (cash price). Audi RS5 impact on the BMW M3 is more intense, both 330 kW power output, and is used RS5 twin-turbo V8 engine, set aside the brand is not that just a performance V8 engine for fans to have a Fatal Attraction.
So for the BMW M3, we have to calm the pressure is still very great. Aside from the above output data, the vehicle can be reported in 4.5 seconds to accelerate from zero to one hundred kilometers an hour, six-speed manual transmission provides dual-clutch paddle and the two options.
Of course, there is more we look forward to the 2013 3 Series Coupe models are worth the wait. Another is from the PS-Garage.com reader Nick Paji Si is on the car for a computer rendering, he said: "This Coupe models with a wider chassis, lower vehicle curve, and there is no framework for a larger coupe doors and engine cover, and so more smooth. "
Now we can do is use their imagination to guess what it was like these two cars, and wait to see the final product.

Audi RS5 impact on the BMW M3 is more intense, both 330 kW power output, and is used RS5 twin-turbo V8 engine, set aside the brand is not that just a performance V8 engine for fans to have a Fatal Attraction.
So for the BMW M3, we have to calm the pressure is still very great. Aside from the above output data, the vehicle can be reported in 4.5 seconds to accelerate from zero to one hundred kilometers an hour, six-speed manual transmission provides dual-clutch paddle and the two options.
Of course, there is more we look forward to the 2013 3 Series Coupe models are worth the wait. Another is from the PS-Garage.com reader Nick Paji Si is on the car for a computer rendering, he said: "This Coupe models with a wider chassis, lower vehicle curve, and there is no framework for a larger coupe doors and engine cover, and so more smooth. "
Now we can do is use their imagination to guess what it was like these two cars, and wait to see the final product.

The perfect gift to experience the Ferrari California
When the canopy closed, California is synonymous with speed, a thoroughbred Ferrari, can rely on under the hood before the mid 4.3-liter V8 engine, in exchange for 3.9 seconds to complete 0 ~ 100km / h sprint of passion; open after canopy, California is a thing of beauty, fascinating and charming creature with intimate "2 +" seat configuration, and GT sports car levels of comfort, can also be gentle and wild, the dream of every man is the perfect lover.
May 22, 2009 grand opening of California, is currently the lowest threshold of the White Ferrari, 1,098 million NT dollars basic price, including Taiwan, the models offer standard, compared with NT $ 11.6 million.
In fact, the world premiere in September 2008, May 2009,China published California , is not the first one to "California " in the name of the Ferrari, because in 1957, Ferrari would have launched a market for the U.S. 3.0 l V12 engine, an initial output of 240 horsepower, and the Geneva Motor Show in 1960 introduced subsequent models after SWB short axis, so that the maximum horsepower increase to 280 in one fell swoop. And because the 1963 cut-off before, this car attractive roadster eventually produced only about 100 (of which there are 55 SWB version of the short axis), along with its classic heritage of the Ferrari "250 cars," the origin, so in 2008 In a well-known antique car dealer from the RM Auctions and Ferrari co-sponsored the second "Ferrari Leggenda e Passione" auction, a 1961 factory, good for 250 GT SWB California Spyder, also had successfully sold the hammer The price nearly three billion new Taiwan dollars (704 million euros).
A 2008 vintage from the renowned car dealer RM Auctions and Ferrari auction held in common, a factory in 1961, good condition 250 GT SWB California Spyder, successfully sold the hammer price of NT $ 300 million (704 million euros).
However, California is not the first one even though the "California" in the name of the Ferrari, but it is Ferrari's first record since the electric factory hard top convertible sports car, but also since 1948, Maranella factory for the first time in V8 models (at the time of production model for the F430, now discontinued, successor models for the 458 Italia) and V12 models (612 Scaglietti and 599 GTB) the two fixed lines, the extra add a third production line, even as electric hardtop convertible body production process, the more general soft-top coupe and roadster are more complex, so Ferrari is also special for this new production line into a more automated production machines, to create this charming electric hard top convertible sports car.
14 seconds to complete the open-top, turned sexy lady lover
Retro looks, charm and the 250 GT California Spyder roadster bore a striking resemblance to California, but also followed the family tradition of ultra-running in recent years, the appearance by the Ferrari and Pininfarina (Pininfarina) design studio together surgeon, to show According to legend, the meaning of a pulse-style aesthetic, the drag coefficient was 0.32Cd, quite dazzling.
California
Front design, California not only has a reminiscent of the 250 GT California Spyder large inverted trapezoid grille, rectangular air intakes on the hood, but also with the 250 GT California Spyder echoes the design, the rear sides of the body and the muscular rear lines, and a completely exudes a familiar flavor, but thick, tall rear curve seems not only fascinating, it was just under the complex can accommodate an electric hard top body, as the left / right dual exhaust tail pipes and a splitter chassis design, it is revealed it to run high-performance of the grid appearance.
Thick rear curve, not only to incorporate electric hardtop body, but also placed return air network, with the bottom of the rear bumper splitter, rear stable air, the exhaust tail pipe is taken out of style about the double vertical design, very special.
As California's electric hardtop convertible design, it is very lightweight thanks to the gift of technology becomes more mature, because even the development of electric hard-top convertible sports car has been very mature, even in the past produced only soft-top convertible sports car BMW, also receptive to the new generation Z4, using electric hardtop convertible design, but the emphasis on performance and style to make even in all of Ferrari, to accept complex and heavy power hardtop convertible, is by no means a simple matter. If the roof is too heavy, high center of gravity will be affected due to handling, although the soft-top convertible body is relatively simple, but after closing the open-top vehicles tend to undermine the overall shape, and the hood are more likely to be destroyed or because deterioration caused by water leakage.
Although the on / off canopy actions seem quite complex, but only just 14 seconds, California will be able to transform from a hard top coupe is sexy over the lover.
California
Fortunately, in California, engineers are lighter weight aluminum alloy material to build the entire structure of electric hard-top convertible, and a special way of forming the casting, so not only can the entire group of hard-top convertible body weight down to a ratio of soft tent but also light15 kg strength has not changed.
California
In addition, the structure lighter, and California's trunk is not large, so the on / off canopy of action is more complex, but behind the wheel just press the button on the right side of the rear seat Booth just 14 seconds (Mercedes-Benz SLK 22 require seconds, Peugeot 207 Cc have to spend 25 seconds), California can be from 0 ~ 100km / h acceleration takes only 3.9 seconds hardtop coupe, transforming itself into a sexy convertible sports car lines.
Original called "2 +" seat configuration, seat back design than straight, may still be suitable for children traveling in, or brought their belongings placed
GDI presence, power full at one go
However, California is not alone is its form only, because the Ferrari factory emblem and light, the original crispness installed on a new naturally aspirated 4.3-liter V8 engine, and import the first production car in Ferrari the engine of direct injection systems, so even if California's largest book is only 460 horsepower, but also slightly lower than the F430 has discontinued the 490, but the maximum torque49.0 kg m F430 is a small victory for 47.4 kilograms of rice, and California to sprint from rest to 100 km per hour acceleration in just 3.9 seconds, compared with the F430's 4.0 seconds faster (458 Italia generation V8 supercar can output 570, 0 ~ 100km / h more than 3.4 seconds), speed 310 km speed performance is quite good.
California 49.0 kg m maximum torque.
In addition, Ferrari has developed a factory for California's first since a seven-speed dual-clutch manual transmission, capable of steering the rear of the two carbon-fiber shift paddles (right upshift, downshift on the left, two with the empty set aside file), by the two groups were responsible for the odd and even clutch files bonding, so that the switch gear can be a split of 0.06 seconds as easily, than in the past on the Ferrari cars are equipped with the F1-System single-clutch sequential Since the manual transmission's shift time is fast on a lot, not only the driver's left foot can no longer fight with the heavy clutch pedal, it can be more smooth forward / reverse gears frustrated.
As the seven-speed gearbox with steering wheel through the rear two carbon fiber paddles down file (on the right upshifts, left downshift, two with the dial was neutral), the center console Booth seat, from left to the right only "Launch start mode, reverse gear and pure self-scheduling model" three options button.
And California, after all, a Yamaha factory emblem put a Ferrari, only the GT tube set, a more comfortable ride convertible car, the engine noise but it is still attractive, although the engine idle to 3,000 rpm before the noise and not particularly loud, but as long as the speed climb over 6,000 rpm, will be issued very excited, awe of Paoxiao. Even if California adopted even hard-top convertible design was to accommodate more complex institutions, so the weight up to 1,630 kilograms, equipped with 6.0 liter V12 engine of the active "champion" 599 GTO Fiorano HGTE weight of1,580 kg but also (completely lightweight design The 458 Italia and there is only 1380 kg ); however stunning, it's acceleration is fairly brisk, and the timing of the output power is very linear, do not be too obtrusive sense of acceleration, engine speed is wrapped up Although not 458 Italia's new generation of Ferrari V8 engine straight 9,000 rpm, but the breath pulled nearly 8,000 rpm is not a problem, but as long as the engine speed is over 3,000 rpm, the engine's output characteristics will emerge fully avalanche-like.
In addition, since with a dual-clutch manual transmission, the originalCalifornia 7.6km / l level, far better than the F430's 5.5km / l, CO2 emissions also from the F430 420g /km significantly reduced to 310g /km, even more than the next-generation 458 Italia of 320g /km are also excellent.
Simplified control, driving simpler and more approachable
As part of the performance control, as well as Ferrari's MR (mid-engine rear-drive) configuration 458 Italia, so California in the original positioning of the GT sports car, picking FR (front engine, rear-wheel drive) configuration, tuning is also more comfort-oriented setting, and greatly simplifies the lower right corner of the steering wheel Manettino variable damping suspension system model, the abolition of the "Ice and snow racing Race" mode, leaving only the "Comfort Comfort, Sport Roadster and CST Off Tracking System off "three modes, so that mode selection can be more simple and easier to learn.
However, when the original in the development of California, or go to the Ferrari was still the adviser of the 7th F1 champion, "Rider" Michael Schumacher, himself a new car in the factory for "backyard" Fiorano test track and on the adjustment, so Even if California's suspension settings are not as mid-engined F430 or 458 Italia then blood and hardcore, and even switch to the "Comfort Comfort" mode, the whole road and road feel is not only a response to the thousands of grade I test drive sports car The most comfortable, even with the Audi RS4, BMW M3 and Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG car to run compared to other properties, the overall suspension feel not only more light, bouncing a sense of relatively minor.
Leather three-spoke steering wheel on the left below the engine start button, right below is developed for California, have simplified the Manettino variable damping suspension control system of the knob, respectively, from the bottom to switch to the "Comfort Comfort, Sport car and CST Off Tracking System Shutdown "three modes.
California bending bent open the door, fell into the coating of a good car seat, easy to adjust the correct driving posture, insert the key, the left thumb and gently press the bottom left of the steering wheel of the engine start button, sleeping V8 engine in the front room of the heart quickly regained consciousness and heard the roar of response, suggesting that it is ready.
Comfort Comfort, Sport allows you to reborn
This is not the only control the first time I drive California, but for the sake of caution, Taiwan and Mongolia plus the agent to take the show in the lake near the center of the traffic situation a bit crowded, and the road quality is not good, have been a lot of road construction, so interchange before arrival, are set at the Comfort mode, in addition to Britain quite so traffic will not be so, but also can experience the cockpit when the canopy off California Su quiet and comfort.
In fact, California is very significant because GT set, so take them even passing through the uneven pavement, slight body bounce, and noise control are also above average, not because of the use of electric hard top design, let the body and rubber in contact with part of the excessive mechanical friction and noise transmission into the vehicle's exhaust noise control is also just right, deep and full low-frequency, high frequency resonant passionate, just like a symphony, like cadence are charming.
California
On the Sun Yat-sen, ready to go straight to the pictures destinations today: Keelung coastal road, due to traffic a lot, so I did not immediately switch to Sport mode, however, even if only a Comfort mode, but California is still in very high-speed switching lanes neat, and almost the same as the general two-door coupe, and you can clearly feel the excellent body rigidity, and no soft-top convertible roof rigidity inherent in ill fate; In addition, even high-speed cruise, California will take the initiative to gear up to 7 files in order to save fuel, but as long as the front face of provocation or speed up a little gap there, left Annealing steering wheel shift paddles, steering wheel with gear display on the edge of the light group in a timely manner Tuidang , will be the engine speed of 2,000 rpm when cruising quickly climbed to 8,000 rpm redline, to show the strength of Yamaha amazing acceleration, runaway out.
When you want to get rid of the cars, as long as the left hand Annealing steering wheel shift paddles, steering wheel with gear display on the edge of the light group in a timely manner reverse gears, engine speed will be cruising by the rapid rise of 2,000 rpm to 8,000 rpm redline to show the strength of Yamaha amazing speed.
But after all, just relaxed highway cruising trip appetizers only, real good show to get Miles to vinorelbine's East-West Expressway was officially kicked off, because this rare elevated highway traffic, road quality is excellent, and has excellent vision, so I in this way, almost all Mercedes-Benz high-speed Sport mode, although the suspension at this time would be more of a sense of Comfort mode jumping clear, but the overall nature of the road has been significantly improved, not only steering feel more clear, high-speed switching lanes to the overall dynamic response has been even better. But it's "hard", still has a certain degree of comfort, not as upgraded suspension system modified so car-like die-hard, the GT car fully echoed the set.
GT sports car set, precise turn control still
In addition, despite Ferrari's best-selling cars in recent years, are set to start mining MR V8 engine models, but in fact is actually the first production Ferrari's GT cars FR set is known, so in California, the engineers have not only crispness planned orthodox GT sports car front engined, rear drive configuration, with the proportion of body weight set, tuned for the first 47: after 53, providing a little more oversteer control fun, plus the test drive car bead has been upgraded into the front 245/35R20, 285/35R20 Pirelli tires after the King: P-Zero, and from carbon fiber ceramic Brembo brake system, Taiwan has long been the introduction of the Monte All cars get standard equipment, so the California bend Road handling performance, in fact, set the F430 and MR stray not far away.
Test drive car has been upgraded to 20-inch aluminum wheels, Pirelli tires with the King: P-Zero, aluminum circle is the agent to takeTaiwan and Mongolia
Actual driving on the coastal road near the mountain, even if California's inherent FR setting may be set higher than the Ferrari is a bit less MR, but in and out of the corners, as long as the suspension set in Sport mode, the With the support of the enhanced suspension, even if the lateral G-force loads have to cope with the largest continuous S-curve, California chassis weight transfer is still calm, but in fact do not need too much steering wheel, as long as the sights bend apex, the election good line and speed into the roundabout, along the line, gently turn the steering wheel, California will be obedient to go in the front, and although a little oversteer characteristics and body roll, but thanks to accurate steering and road feel of the gift, even if the rear a little restless, but drivers can still confidently rounded out the blaze, and even a narrow field of vision to cope with the continuous 180-degree hairpin, it can also be red in the face of breath, and even make some bold slip, but also That is, it's ESP stability control system, the time involved in very late, so long as the driver against the steering wheel slightly, timely control the throttle, it would be redirected to the front corner vertex.
Even if California's handling is not as sharp then the Ferrari MR set, but into the corner, as long as the suspension is set to Sport mode, so that the support of the enhanced suspension, even a little body roll and oversteer But thanks to accurate steering and road feel thanks to the driver can still confidently speed blaze.
But if you already have the level of driving skills, you want to deliberately gorgeous little drift cornering, the CST Off tracking system shutdown mode is definitely the better choice, but because California a rear wheel torque output to lift the seal After the horses run wild like a general, as long as the driver heavy throttle, the rear will be in a certain range of the flow out the opposite direction, so you have absolute autonomy, even if the edge out of control, tracking systems do not involvement will be eventful; even if you occasionally want to experience driving the car, the thrill of sprint start at full speed, just press the bottom of the center console of California "Launch" button to Manettino variable damping suspension system to the CST Off mode, Excerpts few straight people and vehicles, and then depresses the accelerator pedal hard Bigfoot, California will be a few swing gently in the rear after the driver in the seat tightly covered within the full-speed sprint to the front to create the fastest The standing start performance.
Even equipped with the V8 engine maximum output of 460 horsepower, and configuration Ferrari's first since a seven-speed dual-clutch manual transmission, but it was the burden of up to1,630 kg of weight to horsepower / weight ratio of 3.54kg / hp, compared with the other members of the Ferrari family, to slightly less
May 22, 2009 grand opening of California, is currently the lowest threshold of the White Ferrari, 1,098 million NT dollars basic price, including Taiwan, the models offer standard, compared with NT $ 11.6 million.
In fact, the world premiere in September 2008, May 2009,
A 2008 vintage from the renowned car dealer RM Auctions and Ferrari auction held in common, a factory in 1961, good condition 250 GT SWB California Spyder, successfully sold the hammer price of NT $ 300 million (704 million euros).
However, California is not the first one even though the "California" in the name of the Ferrari, but it is Ferrari's first record since the electric factory hard top convertible sports car, but also since 1948, Maranella factory for the first time in V8 models (at the time of production model for the F430, now discontinued, successor models for the 458 Italia) and V12 models (612 Scaglietti and 599 GTB) the two fixed lines, the extra add a third production line, even as electric hardtop convertible body production process, the more general soft-top coupe and roadster are more complex, so Ferrari is also special for this new production line into a more automated production machines, to create this charming electric hard top convertible sports car.
14 seconds to complete the open-top, turned sexy lady lover
Retro looks, charm and the 250 GT California Spyder roadster bore a striking resemblance to California, but also followed the family tradition of ultra-running in recent years, the appearance by the Ferrari and Pininfarina (Pininfarina) design studio together surgeon, to show According to legend, the meaning of a pulse-style aesthetic, the drag coefficient was 0.32Cd, quite dazzling.
Front design, California not only has a reminiscent of the 250 GT California Spyder large inverted trapezoid grille, rectangular air intakes on the hood, but also with the 250 GT California Spyder echoes the design, the rear sides of the body and the muscular rear lines, and a completely exudes a familiar flavor, but thick, tall rear curve seems not only fascinating, it was just under the complex can accommodate an electric hard top body, as the left / right dual exhaust tail pipes and a splitter chassis design, it is revealed it to run high-performance of the grid appearance.
Thick rear curve, not only to incorporate electric hardtop body, but also placed return air network, with the bottom of the rear bumper splitter, rear stable air, the exhaust tail pipe is taken out of style about the double vertical design, very special.
As California's electric hardtop convertible design, it is very lightweight thanks to the gift of technology becomes more mature, because even the development of electric hard-top convertible sports car has been very mature, even in the past produced only soft-top convertible sports car BMW, also receptive to the new generation Z4, using electric hardtop convertible design, but the emphasis on performance and style to make even in all of Ferrari, to accept complex and heavy power hardtop convertible, is by no means a simple matter. If the roof is too heavy, high center of gravity will be affected due to handling, although the soft-top convertible body is relatively simple, but after closing the open-top vehicles tend to undermine the overall shape, and the hood are more likely to be destroyed or because deterioration caused by water leakage.
Although the on / off canopy actions seem quite complex, but only just 14 seconds, California will be able to transform from a hard top coupe is sexy over the lover.
Fortunately, in California, engineers are lighter weight aluminum alloy material to build the entire structure of electric hard-top convertible, and a special way of forming the casting, so not only can the entire group of hard-top convertible body weight down to a ratio of soft tent but also light
In addition, the structure lighter, and California's trunk is not large, so the on / off canopy of action is more complex, but behind the wheel just press the button on the right side of the rear seat Booth just 14 seconds (Mercedes-Benz SLK 22 require seconds, Peugeot 207 Cc have to spend 25 seconds), California can be from 0 ~ 1
Original called "2 +" seat configuration, seat back design than straight, may still be suitable for children traveling in, or brought their belongings placed
GDI presence, power full at one go
However, California is not alone is its form only, because the Ferrari factory emblem and light, the original crispness installed on a new naturally aspirated 4.3-liter V8 engine, and import the first production car in Ferrari the engine of direct injection systems, so even if California's largest book is only 460 horsepower, but also slightly lower than the F430 has discontinued the 490, but the maximum torque
In addition, Ferrari has developed a factory for California's first since a seven-speed dual-clutch manual transmission, capable of steering the rear of the two carbon-fiber shift paddles (right upshift, downshift on the left, two with the empty set aside file), by the two groups were responsible for the odd and even clutch files bonding, so that the switch gear can be a split of 0.06 seconds as easily, than in the past on the Ferrari cars are equipped with the F1-System single-clutch sequential Since the manual transmission's shift time is fast on a lot, not only the driver's left foot can no longer fight with the heavy clutch pedal, it can be more smooth forward / reverse gears frustrated.
As the seven-speed gearbox with steering wheel through the rear two carbon fiber paddles down file (on the right upshifts, left downshift, two with the dial was neutral), the center console Booth seat, from left to the right only "Launch start mode, reverse gear and pure self-scheduling model" three options button.
And California, after all, a Yamaha factory emblem put a Ferrari, only the GT tube set, a more comfortable ride convertible car, the engine noise but it is still attractive, although the engine idle to 3,000 rpm before the noise and not particularly loud, but as long as the speed climb over 6,000 rpm, will be issued very excited, awe of Paoxiao. Even if California adopted even hard-top convertible design was to accommodate more complex institutions, so the weight up to 1,630 kilograms, equipped with 6.0 liter V12 engine of the active "champion" 599 GTO Fiorano HGTE weight of
In addition, since with a dual-clutch manual transmission, the original
Simplified control, driving simpler and more approachable
As part of the performance control, as well as Ferrari's MR (mid-engine rear-drive) configuration 458 Italia, so California in the original positioning of the GT sports car, picking FR (front engine, rear-wheel drive) configuration, tuning is also more comfort-oriented setting, and greatly simplifies the lower right corner of the steering wheel Manettino variable damping suspension system model, the abolition of the "Ice and snow racing Race" mode, leaving only the "Comfort Comfort, Sport Roadster and CST Off Tracking System off "three modes, so that mode selection can be more simple and easier to learn.

Leather three-spoke steering wheel on the left below the engine start button, right below is developed for California, have simplified the Manettino variable damping suspension control system of the knob, respectively, from the bottom to switch to the "Comfort Comfort, Sport car and CST Off Tracking System Shutdown "three modes.
California bending bent open the door, fell into the coating of a good car seat, easy to adjust the correct driving posture, insert the key, the left thumb and gently press the bottom left of the steering wheel of the engine start button, sleeping V8 engine in the front room of the heart quickly regained consciousness and heard the roar of response, suggesting that it is ready.

But if you already have the level of driving skills, you want to deliberately gorgeous little drift cornering, the CST Off tracking system shutdown mode is definitely the better choice, but because California a rear wheel torque output to lift the seal After the horses run wild like a general, as long as the driver heavy throttle, the rear will be in a certain range of the flow out the opposite direction, so you have absolute autonomy, even if the edge out of control, tracking systems do not involvement will be eventful; even if you occasionally want to experience driving the car, the thrill of sprint start at full speed, just press the bottom of the center console of California "Launch" button to Manettino variable damping suspension system to the CST Off mode, Excerpts few straight people and vehicles, and then depresses the accelerator pedal hard Bigfoot, California will be a few swing gently in the rear after the driver in the seat tightly covered within the full-speed sprint to the front to create the fastest The standing start performance.
Even equipped with the V8 engine maximum output of 460 horsepower, and configuration Ferrari's first since a seven-speed dual-clutch manual transmission, but it was the burden of up to
