Ferrari California T Unveiled by Naza Italia
Petaling Jaya, 22 May 2014 – Naza Italia brings yet another updated and exciting prancing horse to its Malaysian stables in the form of the updated Ferrari California T. The California T was re-worked at the Ferrari styling Centre in collaboration with Pininfarina, and comes with a retractable hardtop, and what Ferrari terms as a 2+ seater, which basically is a little seat behind the river and passenger seat, big enough for perhaps a little kid of a golf bag.
The California T comes with a 3,855 cc direct injection V8 engine, with twin turbo charger – power is a whopping 560 horsepower at 7,500 rpm, and maximum torque is 755Nm. As result, the California T does the zero to 100 km/h sprint is 3.6 seconds flat, and can attain a top speed of 316 km/h. The engine runs on 98 Octane fuel.
Mr. Giuseppe Cattaneo (Managing Director of Ferrari Far East), Mr. Simon Inglefield (Head of Sales ASEAN, Ferrari Far East), Datuk Maruan Mohd Said (Senior Vice President, Corporate Strategic Investment Division, NAZA World) and Mr. Wan Ahmad (General Manager, NAZA Italia Sdn Bhd) were present at the unveiling ceremony.
“This latest generation California is faster with a more powerful and efficient engine that maximizes fuel economy whilst also maintaining Ferrari’s signature roar. An updated cabin, heightened performance and ability to go from coupe to convertible in a matter of just 14 seconds, make this a sensational drive,” said Datuk Wira Hj SM Faisal Tan Sri SM Nasimuddin, Joint Group Executive Chairman, NAZA Group of Companies.
The steering geometry has been revamped, and the suspension has been re-tuned for better driving dynamics.The car also sports the latest evolution of F1-Trac, which guarantees maximum acceleration out of corners, and CCM3 carbon-ceramic brakes – with new composite discs and pads – integrated with the ESP 8.0 Premium system, which controls the high-performance ABS to deliver extremely short stopping distances (100 to 0 km/h in just 34 metres).
The hand-finished cabin is trimmed in luxury semi-aniline leather. The space on-board is flexible too, and owners can make the most efficient use of its generous boot capacity even with the top down, thanks to the communication between the luggage compartment and rear seats.
The Ferrari California T is available to Malaysian customers at the introductory price of RM888,800 (base price excluding duty and options).
