A striking blend of performance, elegance, and everyday usability,
this 2012 Ferrari California is presented in iconic Rosso Corsa
over a beautifully tailored Tan Daytona leather interior. With just
11,852 actual miles, this exceptionally clean example offers an
outstanding opportunity to experience one of Ferrari's most
versatile and increasingly appreciated modern models.
Introduced in 2009, the California marked a significant evolution
for Ferrari, combining traditional grand touring comfort with
cutting-edge innovation. It was the first Ferrari to feature a
front-mounted V8 engine paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch
transmission, as well as the brand's first retractable hardtop
convertible, delivering both open-air enjoyment and coupe-like
refinement. Designed to be more approachable and user-friendly than
mid-engine counterparts, the California broadened Ferrari ownership
while maintaining the marque's unmistakable performance
pedigree.
Power comes from a 4.3-liter naturally aspirated V8 producing
exhilarating performance, seamlessly delivered through its
lightning-quick dual-clutch transmission. Standard factory features
included carbon-ceramic brakes, adaptive suspension, traction
control systems derived from Ferrari's Formula One program, and a
luxurious cabin trimmed in premium leather with modern infotainment
integration, making it equally at home on spirited drives or
long-distance touring.
In today's market, the California has emerged as one of the most
underrated values in the front-engine Ferrari lineup. Offering a
compelling combination of performance, reliability, and usability
at an accessible entry point into Ferrari ownership, these models
are increasingly recognized by enthusiasts as modern classics with
strong long-term appeal.
This example is well-optioned with desirable features including
Scuderia Ferrari fender shields, 19-inch 5-spoke alloy wheels,
chrome front grille surround, power-adjustable seats, rearview
camera with parking sensors, and a touchscreen infotainment system
with navigation and Bluetooth connectivity, enhancing both its
visual presence and everyday usability.
Mechanically, the car has been properly maintained with recent
service performed at Ferrari of West Palm Beach, Florida in October
2025. This work included replacement of the F1 transmission
internal speed sensor and synchronizers, along with fresh Shell DCT
fluid, ensuring optimal performance of the advanced dual-clutch
system. Upon arrival to our facility in June 2026, the car was
further prepared with the installation of new Pirelli P Zero rear
tires.
Accompanying the vehicle are both original keys, owner's manuals,
an accident-free CarFax report, and a factory battery maintainer,
providing confidence and completeness for its next owner.
Combining low mileage, iconic Ferrari styling, modern usability,
and a growing reputation among collectors, this 2012 Ferrari
California represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a
beautifully maintained example of a model that continues to gain
well-deserved recognition in the Ferrari hierarchy.
