The 2008 Ferrari California (F149) is a grand touring sports car that was launched by Ferrari at the 2008 Paris Motor Show. It is a two door "2+2" hard top convertible.
The car revives the "California" name used for the late-1950s Ferrari 250 GT. It was the first Ferrari to use a dual-clutch 7-speed transmission and front-mounted V8 engine.
It was replaced by a turbocharged facelifted model, the California T, in 2014.

Trivia[]
- On April 1 2012, an April Fools prank was posted to NFSUnlimited.net with a news post[2] and a forum thread[3] announcing the Ferrari California would be added to Need for Speed: World as the first Tier 4 car with a convincing manipulated image[4], and players could email the website within May 1, 2012 to May 8, 2012 to gain access to a 1-week Closed Beta through a random draw that would take place a week prior.
- The news post was altered hours later to highlight it was an April Fools prank following confusion within the game's community.[5]
