Ferrari gets special test-drive

The new Ferrari California, 2+ convertible, had a very special "test-driver" behind its wheel recently.

Prancing Horse President Luca di Montezemolo put it through its paces over several laps at the Fiorano circuit.

After the drive he declared: "I am very satisfied indeed with the work that the women and men of Ferrari have done. The California is an extraordinary car and I was delighted with the performance, comfort and driving pleasure it delivered.

"The California is, like all of our models, the epitome of cutting-edge innovation. Its gearbox, suspensions and chassis are the most advanced possible.

"This is the first dual-purpose Spider/Coupé with a retractable hard top that closes in just 14 seconds. Despite its extraordinary performance, the California 2+ is also exceptionally easy to drive and has a space behind the front seats that makes it supremely flexible in terms of usage."
