First look video 2010 Ferrari California: Is this the first ever commuter Ferrari?

California_convertible

The  2010 Ferrari California is all wrong…at least if you like your Ferrari with a big V12 engine mounted behind the driver.

Instead, the Ferrari California has the brand’s first ever V8 located in front of the driver.

Think of the California as the first-ever commuter Ferrari…Lordy Lordy…it even has back seats.

OK…so “commuter Ferrari” that may be stretching the truth a bit, but Ferrari hopes that the California will appeal to a more non-traditional supercar buyer who might not otherwise a purchase a Ferrari.

Colorado based Rocky Mountain Automotive Press journalist Alissa Barry recently had the chance to drive the California and she filed this firs look video.
